It's been awhile - I almost forgot I had a blog.  This is my latest new piece and in the many months since I've been here I've added quite a few other new originals and prints to my shop.  There are little florals, new prints, portrait blocks, and even a large original.

I also have new work on the enormous tiny site - though they did sell quickly and there is only one left. The next new series will be there in early February.

I'm still not great at it but I've been getting better at updating my facebook page and with the new baby keeping me busy I'm always looking for the easiest way to do things and right now facebook is it.  Keep up with any new work or shows by following me here.

I've been a bit busy with other little cute things but I managed to get some tiny paintings done for the 13th enormous tiny art show.  I went with a circus theme this time.  See them all (along with a few pieces from earlier enormous tiny art shows) here.

three girls with crowns

original oil painting on wood panel
six inches square
$400.

I've been working on a larger piece that will be available soon through Sebastian Foster gallery and was inspired to revisit some other themes in my work that I hadn't painted in some time.  Not sure what it is exactly about a trio of girls but it's an image I've returned to again and again and crowns just always make everything better.

I recently decided to switch my online shops around and have moved almost everything back to etsy.  This makes it easier for me - managing just one shop.  And I hope works great for everyone else - two of the immediate improvements are you can check out with or without paypal and  I can accept etsy gift cards.

If you are in the Seattle area I have three paintings in the POP UP arts night at the Bright gallery on December 8th - a fundraiser in support of Pacific Crest school.

I'm still adding new prints in my shop - limited and open edition.  Many in sizes that are ready for standard frames - prices range from $20 - $95.  If there is an painting you had been hoping I'd make a print of let me know and I just might be able to add it to the shop.

she looked to the moon for answers

"she looked to the moon for answers"
original oil painting on wood
eight inches square
$600 through Sebastian Foster Gallery

Like so many of my paintings this piece is about the search for meaning and a need to understand.  And like all the people in my paintings I think she gets the answer she's looking for.

This is one of several new pieces available through Sebastian Foster.


***

I also have four new prints available through both of my shops.  They are all open edition and printed on standard size paper, ready to frame in store bought frames.  Priced at $25 to $30.  I'll be adding a few more available  images over the week.

Hope all my readers affected by Sandy are doing well.  My thoughts have been with you.
