My Son's Paintings on Etsy

Well...I went ahead and listed some of Patrick's paintings

in my Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.

Back when we were all listing on eBay...I was quite impressed

that he was able to hold down a full time job

and still manage to paint new paintings everyday.

His art pretty much 'flew' off the site...

and he got a pretty penny for a lot of his pieces.

But...when we decided that we didn't care for

the new rules on eBay and left...

he decided to 

go back to school and enrolled at the

University.

So...his time is pretty much taken up

and his paintings are fewer and further between.

We'd discussed me going ahead and listing the few paintings

he has done this year

(he did them to use as set decor

for a Picasso and Poe play at the

Johnny Carson theatre this past Spring)

and decided that I'd go ahead and list them for him.

So...they're now in his little section in my shop.

I do like these pieces..

I do like these little ACEO pieces. I have four ACEOs, of my raggedy ragdoll on his little three legged stool...he looks so sad.

I don't know if I'll do anymore of these little guys...and they are a little sad-sack to turn into anything else.

So...this will probably be the last of this series. The original, 'A New Day' is still available in my Etsy shop.

I have sketched out quite a few new ACEOs...I really love them...but, they do look a lot different than what I have been listing.

I hope to have those pieces ready by Sunday or Monday.



In the meantime, the few 2007 Limited Edition ACEO Sale prints left, will end on March 15th.

Three of my little 'raggedy' ragdoll Limited Edition ACEO prints.

'All Alone In The Middle of Nowhere'

'What Am I Doing Here?'

'Alone On My Swing'

'Say A Little Prayer'

'Inside My Asylum'

Oh, I almost forgot this sweet little piece.....

My Paradise Lost

$5.00

Also.....look for several of my most popular pieces to become 5"x7" Open Edition Prints. I already have two of these now available in the Shop. They are....

'It's Here If You Want It'

'EveryOne Needs Some Time Off'


...

ACEOs listings coming to Etsy

Here are a few of the ACEO originals that I will be listing, in the next week or two on Etsy. It's not all that I am planning to list....it's all that I currently have finished.

Paintings on Etsy and Art By Us...

I now have a couple of 'non-ACEO' paintings listed on Etsy and one on Art by Us.
The two paintings at the top of this picture are each on gallery wrapped pre-stretched canvas...one is 11x14 and the other is 6x12.
The painting at the bottom is a 4.5x6" painting done on cotton canvas sheet, without wooden frame support.

I plan to do paintings on both kinds of support...as the canvas sheet paintings do look good matted and framed...it's not as easy to do that with the pre-stretched pieces...thus my reasoning for doing both.

ACEOs painted in January

Most of these have already sold. A few originals are left on Etsy and a few on Art By Us.

I am offering Limited Edition prints..of ten..of most of the sold pieces.

Recently Listed AND Coming soon...+ ETSY Sale!

I have been soooo very busy lately that I haven't taken a moment to post a quick blog. I wanted to preview some of my upcoming listings on a regular basis, in this blog. It looks like I'm going to have to get a little more organized first.

Since some of these pieces are still untitled, I'm just going to post a few of my 'recently listed' and a few pieces that 'will be listed' throughout this upcoming week. (All of my 'Gertie' pieces have changed and will be listed either on eBay or Etsy this coming week.)

I have...and will have...more listings. This is just a 'preview' of what I have on and what is coming this week.

ETSY SALE --- ONLY in my RUSTIC GOTH ETSY SHOP!

I have lowered the prices on each of my 2007 Limited Edition ACEO Prints.

Several of these prints have only a few editions left before I 'retire' them. Be sure to check them out! Just click on the Etsy Mini in this blog!

59 Balloons

I find that I have difficulty 'telling the story behind the painting' when confined to a listing format. It seems that I can't really 'be myself...or something.

This is the first painting in a series I have titled "Paradise Lost". It is a series dedicated to the long process of healing. My own healing.

It is too difficult to lose someone you love...being together for more than thirty years. And the healing...even after a year it sometimes seems impossible.

So..I take the words of advice he gave to me..."paint your emotions".

Thus...the series..."Paradise Lost".

"59 Balloons"....one for each year of his life...all white...released to the heavens on the day he was buried.

I paint my emotions...trying to heal.

I sold this painting in September.
