Yes....Even on Metal!

I had a fellow artist ask me the other day if I still have art available on canvas or paper. He was speaking about the fact that my art has spread during 2011 to other functional pieces in and out of the home. It all starts on paper and canvas, but why should the life of that work end? Song writers, play writers, singers, actors and authors are able to have their work live on with additional publishing, royalties, radio play, etc. Visual artists receive this same compensation through art licensing. I believe that during these hard economic times someone would rather enjoy art in a functional manner, or made from different materials. Phone cases, IPad covers, cross-stitch patterns are also ways to have a beautiful piece of art on a functional piece.

Here is an abstract that already inspired a pillow:.

I am happy to announce that I just signed an art licensing agreement with a company that does wall art in metal; my first for 2012. Here's a way of art evolving from paper or canvas to meet the needs of the public. and the possibilities of being hung in a different environment. Once all the details have been worked out and the art manufactured for sale, I will provide the details.

How has your art or business changed during these hard economic times?

All About The Bling

If you have been to the mall lately…..”It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”.

I know, you are upset because we have not even had our turkey and dressing for Thanksgiving. The reality is that many of you may not be decorating for Christmas, but definitely beginning to think about the gifts. I have decided to give you different options of beautiful, functional art pieces.  It is so easy to do your shopping from your computers and even in your pajamas…..how easy is that? Here are some gifts that will not require knowing the recipient’s size.

Wouldn’t it be nice to wear a piece of art?  Here are some suggestions………….

Red Poppies - Watercolor http://www.zazzle.com/red_poppies_necklace-177753903278930677

Flower Power - Waterchttp://www.zazzle.com/flower_power_necklace-177619375120511713olor -

The Sea - Watercolor - http://www.zazzle.com/the_sea_necklace-177309710534599874

 

Of course, a complete gift would be the  art necklace and another functional art piece to keep it in….like a Bling Box.  What is a Bling Box? A fabulous wall décor that stores your bling. Lots of designs to choose from.Here is a sample…………….

What Kind of Painter Are you?

Photography plays a big role in the life of a painter. Many of us paint directly by looking at the photo or at times the photo is just an inspiration to a work of art. I have taken a couple of art classes in the past few years and it is funny to see how different art teachers have an approach to photographs. I had a teacher that did not want to see realistic paintings. He would say if you want it to look like the photo……just look at the photo. I have also had teachers that I have had to stop them because they were so detailed and realistic that they wanted me to paint even the smallest twig in the photo.  Here’s an example of a painting inspired by a photo. Can you see how I changed it?
