On The Twelfth Day of Christmas...
Cat Lady print | 8x10"
Crapshoot print | 8x10"
My gift to you is a free print for signing up to receive my studio updates and news.
These are so new that I haven’t even posted
them online yet! I’m very excited to share a couple of my favorites from the BIG LITTLE PAINTINGS | SHORT LITTLE STORIES series with my wonderful blog readers and feisty Facebook friends.
To get one of these prints for free, just sign up
to
receive my studio newsletter and updates on my website. After you sign
up I
will email a pdf of one of these prints (let me know if you have a
preference). And then all you do is print it out on a heavy card stock
paper. Frame it
or tape it to the wall or leave it out with the cookies for Santa.
I hope it will bring you a little whimsy and a lot of
joy! Merry, merry from me to you!

OK. So you still have a couple of names
that haven’t been checked off yet? No worries. How about giving Gift
Certificates for The Gift of Art? They can be used on original paintings,
limited edition prints, commissioned paintings and more. Easy peasy!
Just choose the amount you you want to spend and I will email the gift
certificate to you to print out and pop under the tree. See how clever you are?

On The Tenth Day of Christmas...
Not Her First Rodeo | 20" x 14.5" x 4.5" | canvas tote bag
Here’s something
fun for Santa's helper: I found some really
cool tote bags that look great with my art on them. So I have designed a
few for my BIG LITTLE PAINTINGS | SHORT LITTLE STORIES series. They are
heavy duty cotton canvas and measure 20”x 14.5”x 4.5”. This one features
the painting (and story), "Not Her First Rodeo". It was definitely one of the most popular from the series.
These tote bags are not
available online yet (blame it on some very slow elves). But I am giving one away as part of my MERRY AND BRIGHT
special offers. All you have to do is sign up on my website by Dec 24 to
receive my art updates. You will then be automatically entered in the drawing to
win the tote bag. I’ll pick a winner from Santa's hat on Christmas Day.
Just doin’
my part to scatter a little Holiday Joy!

On The Sixth Day of Christmas...
The Writing On The Wall | 6x6" | mixed media on wood panel
regular price $150| studio sale $125 + shipping
Today
I’m sharing something new. I always try to make time for a little studio
playtime. (If I were a biologist or a physicist it would be called R&D).
It’s a good way to spill all those wild gremlins out of my head and onto
canvas. Or paper, in this case.
I’ve been experimenting with new ways of rendering my characters on different materials. This piece started out as a collage and then I painted on top allowing the interesting papers to show through. I also applied a very thick coat of tinted acrylic gel to give the surface an encaustic-ish look. Finally it was mounted on a cradled wood panel and varnished.

$450). Thank you Santa.

Dreamer. (Not The Only One) | 16x20" | giclée on canvas
regular price $525 | studio sale $400
Dreamer is one of those paintings that just got a lot of love—sold
right away, was featured on The Artist’s Network website and won several
awards. Plus, it happens to be one of my most favorite paintings that ever spilled
out of my brush. I have recently made it available as an artist enhanced giclée
print on canvas. In a very limited edition (seriously, only fifteen). I hand
embellish each one with paint, adding brushstrokes and texture to the surface.
It's the next best thing to the original painting. Plus it’s on sale but just
for a short time!

On The Second Day of Christmas...
A Spot Of Bother In The Garden| 14x11" | giclée on canvas
regular price $325 | studio sale $250
regular price $325 | studio sale $250
This is quite possibly the painting I
get the most inquiries about. Long ago sold, but available as an artist enhanced giclée
print on canvas. In a very limited edition. I
hand embellish each one with paint, adding brushstrokes and texture to
the surface. It's the next best thing to the original painting. And very affordable.
Here's what I wrote about this piece when I first painted it and it bears repeating: "My early education was mostly
dictated by the nuns. Actually, the Sisters of Charity, God love 'em.
And, as a result of said education, I had a lot of questions as a kid.
Still do. There's some mystery surrounding the whole situation with
Adam and Eve and the snakey guy with the apple. It could've all been so
different....Like why did Eve get all the blame? Couldn't Adam show a
little chutzpah and think it through first? I mean it was an apple...come on! Some
of these themes show up in my work all these years later. I'm still
working it out. But I like exploring some of the more bizarre concepts
that were passed off as fact and truth to the little reverent Catholic
kids who were actually just scared out of their bloomers. So thanks to
the Sisters (of Charity) for giving me plenty of material to work with."
On The First Day of Christmas...
