Support My Economic Stimulus Program

I just added my recent painting, "China, Brass & Peaches" to the selection at my online store, and have reduced prices on everything. Get yours, before I become famous!!

I also have a few prints available, from $50 - $100. I'll post a list of these soon.

This is pretty prestigious art event for Arkansas, and I'm proud to be invited to be a part of it;

I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected to take part in the 4^th Annual Arts in the Air Professional Art Exhibit and Sale.

This event is scheduled to be held at the Rockefeller Institute atop Petit Jean Mountain from May 2 to May 25, 2009.  The show is designed to celebrate the creativity and originality of Arkansas ’ artists while serving as a fundraiser for Envision U and other student art education programs at the Rockefeller Institute.  This year it will be held on the same weekend with our annual heritage event that will feature a discussion of Governor Rockefeller’s personal contributions to supporting art and art education in Arkansas during his lifetime.

Sincerely,

Julie Hall

Program Coordinator

Winthrop Rockefeller Institute

This is a juried exhibit, with entries from all over the state and it is also associated with my alma mater, so being accepted to this show is very gratifying. It also takes place at one of the most naturally beautiful locations in Arkansas, Petit Jean State Park.

Catching Up

I have had a great deal to do in recovering from the recent ice storm, lining up work for the coming months and wrapping up my final week at my day job. I finished one painting (which was interrupted when we lost power for three days) but have been otherwise occupied since then.

As I indicated earlier, though, I will be producing much more regularly starting next week, so keep tuned in to this channel...

I'm happy that the Etsy store is off the ground, but I need to avail myself of all the bells and whistles associated with the service, do some networking and promotion and such. Ebay was comparatively expensive, but I also had sales on Ebay. No sales yet through Etsy. I may continue to use both, as well as trying to find a couple of brick-and-mortar galleries to represent me.

Many thanks to those who have dropped by and to those who have purchased my art. I have a couple of commissions as well as a book illustration gig in the works, so it looks like I will have plenty to keep me from loitering around the pool hall.
