Surfacing SNIPPET

Milk Snippet

Hello!...and can you believe it's the middle of November already? Sheesh. Anyway...thought I would pop in to show you a few photos that some very special people sent to me. Sara Harley, who recently won my Snippet giveaway sent me the Milk Snippet she chose from my Etsy shop. Thanks, Sara...it looks great in your kitchen! Read Sara's blog post about it here.

...from a distance

The photo below was sent to me by my dear friend, Barbara Guss. She purchased my "Oranges on a Blue Plate" print awhile back and this is now where it happily lives...in her beautiful Santa Fe home. I just love the print with her decor. Thank you, Barbara!

Oranges on a Blue Plate

On another note...I've been workin' away here in the studio although have been stuck on one painting for awhile. I've drawn, scratched, rubbed, scraped and changed colors several times but it just hasn't come together yet. Let's just say I've wanted to take a hammer to it today!

As frustrating as painting can sometimes be...having it work in the end IS worth the effort. I just have to step away, breathe, maybe take Maisie for a walk...then get back in the ring again. Some creative juju always helps too!

New Canvas Art Prints

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
