On to 100 Sales in my Etsy Shop

Well it has been a wonderful time on Etsy for the last 18 months.  I now have 95 sales!!  To celebrate, I am offering 1/2 price on sales 96-100 (excluding shipping) ! Offer good until Nov 7. Nothing excluded.  I mean it.  I love Etsy and the people who populate it with their arts and crafts and personal interaction with other sellers.  Here is a snapshot of a few my current listings. 

Puzzle Me This

Here is a truly great gift idea! CustomDogBananas, a fine artisan with a shop on Etsy, is creating custom wooden jigsaw puzzles using some of my images, your custom photograph, or art from other Etsians. Here is a look at the first one she has made from my work. This one includes 5 "figurals", special shapes that are 3 birds, one anchor and a sailboat. Others will be available on her web site soon. It is spectacular! It is created from a print of my painting Tangier Island. (The original of this painting has been purchased by the Tangier Island History Museum.)

Abstract or absurd?

You have not seen an abstract from me for a while. Funny thing happened several years ago when strolling through an art show with my mother-in-law. She pointed to a booth and said, "those are absurds." I said, "you mean abstracts?" She said, "well, yes, absurd, abstract, whatever."

Here is Abstraction, original 21" x 29", watercolor with a bit of collage, available in my Etsy shop.

Companion Art

A client is going to purchase these 2 prints from my Etsy shop to hang together in her dining room. Her table is decorated with Fiesta Ware. She asked how I thought they would look together, and I think they would be great! Both have the same theme, and shades of red and yellow. However, one is vertical and one is horizontal. I think the placing the vertical on the left with the horizontal on the right, with their middles on the same line, would be perfect. What do you think? (I cannot get them spaced apart, but you get the idea.)

Still boating more than painting....

Busy summer. Come November, I will be back at the brush and palette. Here are some boat portraits I have done. Ours is first. It is a 1968 50' Hatteras, Seaeagle.
