November 1st I will have a drawing to giveaway this color study to one lucky subscriber on my Instagram account. I am considering doing this every month if it goes well. Subscription is 99¢ a month.
This is all an experiment. I have found making a living as an artist requires a lot of hustle and alternate income sources. I would love to hear from other artists… how do you make ends meet?
I was excited to hear that this painting sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery as soon as it was unpacked!
I have decided to take next year off from the solo show grind. I am going to send work as it is made to a handful of galleries I enjoy working with. Holding onto work for a show is exciting, to see a large collection hanging together. Shows are also stressful and an all your eggs in one basket proposition. My new plan affords me the freedom to make small collections with no specific goal or destination.
This painting was sold through the Grand Bohemian Gallery in St. Augustine, Florida. I recently signed a contract with their sister gallery in North Carolina. I am excited and super grateful for these opportunities.
I was pleased that this painting was sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. Abend is one of the great galleries I am fortunate enough to work with. I need to get more art to Denver!
This painting was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. I often don’t know about sales until a check shows up in my mailbox. It is always a pleasant surprise to receive a check rather than the usual “endless parade” of bills.
I was happy to hear from a collector in Florida, she just purchased this painting. It was a studio favorite, really captures my favorite summer vibes on Lake Pend Oreille here in North Idaho. I recently shipped it to Moment Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. They made the sale, I am so grateful to the galleries that represent me. Sales are getting tougher these days, and I am a terrible salesperson!
I was happy to hear that this gorgeous painting was sold through Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming! This is a gallery I have worked with for many years, looking forward to sending them more pieces in the near future.
These three water paintings have been shipped to Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. All three are on deep cradled boards featuring gold leaf edges.
I was really pleased to hear that this painting was sold! The sale happen through Horizontal Fine Art Gallery in Jackson Hole. It was originally shipped to the gallery with “gold moon” which you can see in the video at the bottom. Gold moon was a 12”x12” painting and sold the day it arrived.
I have finalized a collection of small paintings from my studio. Some of my favorite miniatures from the last couple years headed to Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming.
