Check out my "Sweet Pack..." of notecards!



What were you thinking?  I am now offering packs of notecards that include reproductions of my paintings.  The "Sweet Pack" includes 5 of my paintings entitled "Cadbury Creme Egg", "Chocolate Frosted", "Baby, It's Cold Outside", "Peanut M&M's on Mahogany" & "Milk Chocolate M&M's on Mahogany."  The complete package of notecards and envelopes are shrink wrapped together so this would make a perfect gift.  I thought this was such a good idea since they are ready right in time for the holidays.

Other packs include the "Chocolate Pack," "Candy Pack" and "Dunkin Donut" Pack.  Most of the original paintings have already sold, so this is a special treat.


Size: Cards measure 4.25” x 5.5” with matching envelopes (Size A2)

Ink: 8 Color UltraChrome K3 ink, the very same I use for my gorgeous archival prints.

Details:
- Set of 10 cards for $10, Click Here to Buy
- 10 white envelopes
- Paper color of each card is slightly off-white
- Blank inside
- Cut, folded, and packaged by me. You worked hard to earn your money, it's only fair that I work just as hard in return. Each of these cards was created one at a time and passed through my hands before listing.

Mmmmm....

Shows Finished & Prints Unveiled


Whew! My last outdoor show of 2010 was today and, as usual, it was a whirlwind! Now that it's over I can focus on painting again. I learned a lot since July and, though the differences are subtle, it shows in the tent. The biggest and most exciting difference is the addition of archival giclee prints.


See how excited I am? I didn't want to outsource the production of the prints to somebody in New Jersey that may or may not give me the quality I demand. These are my paintings, not some images I want to print. In the end, I decided to print these myself so I can make sure each print was as high quality as the original. Since this investment included more than just a trip to Office Depot for a printer I called up SSI and, within a week, I was in business.

Now that today is over, I've got an awesome painting to share with you tomorrow...

Two Houses


“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” - Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta

You'd think that after four weekends of outdoor art shows that I would breeze right into this weekend's Art on the Green show in New Castle. Nope! I've been working on getting a limited number of prints together before Saturday morning. If you've ever worked with getting color just right you know this is no small task.

This painting is 7" x 5" oil on canvas panel.


Please call or email me (or stop by the show this weekend!) if you're interested in this piece.

I attended the Lancaster County Art Association's Fall Membership Show today. I was excited to learn that my painting "Warehouse" took first place in the non-professional category. There was a lot of great work there so it was humbling news.

I'm a Robot?



Not a painting today, but I thought I'd share. If you want to play with robots in London, check out Outrace here. Regularly scheduled paintings will be back on Sunday.
