The Whole Shebang

"Day's Sweet Song"

30" x 30" acrylic and collage on canvas

As promised...here is my newest painting...unsnippeted! I found a new Golden paint color that I'm loving...Quinacridone Magenta. The color is so brilliant and rich and it has a nice transparency to it that I can build on.

On another note...I'm honored to be the featured artist on the Paws for Charity blog today! Remember, when you're getting ready to buy those holiday gifts...the Paws for Charity Art Book and/or Calendar is a perfect gift for any animal lover in your life. It's also a great way to help in the fight against breast cancer.

Hope you're enjoying some beautiful Fall color wherever you are!

New Canvas Art Prints

Snippet #1
from "Upon Delicate Earth"
6" x 6" x 1.5" canvas print on birchwood panel

You can purchase one here on Etsy

The word "Snippet" is defined as a "bit, fragment, morsel, part, piece, scrap, smidgen or snip".

As many of you already know...I have a thing for Snippets so I am launching a new series of them today. I'm taking visual bits and snips of my original paintings, new and older and am making special prints of them with slighty different compositions. I'll be making these with both abstract and still life imagery.

The Snippets are printed on primed canvas with archival pigment inks and are adhered to a birchwood boxed panel with archival matte medium. The prints measure 6"w x 6"h x 1.5"d. They are varnished for UV and handling protection and are ready to hang! They look great sitting on a shelf, desk or grouped together on a wall.

The great thing about these boxed prints is that they are an affordable gift for yourself or anyone as an alternative to original art.

I'm giving away one of the above Snippets as a gift to one of YOU, my awesome and supportive blog friends. Just leave a comment and Maisie, the wonder dog, will put all your names in the magic randomizer. She will announce the winner next Wednesday, October 13th.

Good luck and see you soon! xox
