August is Artist Appreciation Month!

Back on the blog to post about artists that influence me.
My dear friend, Jeanette, passed away suddenly last October. I have such fond memories of her. She was always up for being excited about something artistic I was doing.
We often would go to Metropolitan Market (an upscale local grocery store) to pick out flowers and a card for sick friends and I remember us being so excited about Patience Brewster's line of greeting cards. Her work struck that quirky chord that we both loved. Here is a link to Patience Brewster's website: www.patiencebrewster.com

This painting is an original acrylic/mixed media painting. Ink, acylic paint, watercolor pencils were used. It is "8x10" on  masonite and will need to be framed. Frame shown is not included, but it is easy to pop it into any standard 8x10 frame. It has been sealed. 

It will be shipped via usps in a cardboard mailer. Shipping only inside the US  currently.

I will list the print for this one next week on etsy and will provide a link here.

2014 Fifty Two Week Project and a Giveaway!

I'm going to try it again, my friends, I will be listing a new piece of art, the original, on eBay on Sunday night for the next 52 weeks. This auction will start at $6.99 plus $3.00 shipping. The work will be done on paper or masonite, so will need to be framed. I will also be listing a limited number of prints on Etsy of each work, for a low price.
Next Sunday, I will give away one print of this weeks piece, so leave a comment here if you would like to be entered in the drawing.
I'm excited to be doing this again, as the last time, in 2010, it was really good for me. I have a lot of work I am proud of from that year. :)

New work listed on Etsy today

I know this is a long time coming, but I have some new work available.
