I'm Retiring...

Well....I"M not retiring...but

some of my prints are.

At the end of every year...

I 'retire'

some of my open edition prints.

I do this to 'make room' for new pieces.

I'm a little OCD about the number

of items I have in my Etsy Shop

at any given time.

I like to keep it between 140 and 150...

that's about maximum for me to be able to manage.

Since I have to have Jaime do

my printing for me...it's also easier to

'zip' all of my old pieces and just keep the pictures

on my computer..of the pieces that are current.

And..

heaven knows...I already have a three or four day job

ahead of me...to go through all of the prints

that are currently calling

my laptop..home.

So...I'm going to spend a few days

making decisions...

which prints are staying..

which are to be 'retired'.

Once I have it all figured out..

I'll list the

'retirees'

here.

I've Been Working...

This little piece is a

"work in progress".

I've been working on it

'on and off'

all week-end...

I know that I am late...trying to get

a 2010 calendar together...

but

this one is going to be used for

February...

maybe.

Art For Human Rights

This is the painting

I recently completed to send to

Art For Human Rights.

It is titled..

'The Red Forest'.

The auction will be held in

Chicago

February 19, 2010.

I'll post a link on the side panel,

in the near future,

with more details.

Last Show of the Season

We've got ONE more show this Season.

It's this Saturday and Sunday..

which means..

Friday afternoon and evening is spent

setting up our space.

It's colder this show...so I'll need to really

bundle up...it really gets cold in

the building.

As with most shows past...I'll be pulling

all items that can't be

duplicated...from my Etsy Shop...

for the week-end.

Etsy Holiday Sale

I'm going to be pulling

a few of my pieces...sometime between now

and the end of the year.

I like to 'retire' pieces

every so often...

usually this time of year.

Just putting a 'heads up'

out there for anyone who might

be interested.

For this reason...I will continue my

'Etsy Holiday Sale'

on all of my prints...

through the rest of the year.

I did a new video...

I decided to do a new short video of some of my art...thinking it had been

a while since I did my last one...

Wow...I checked my You Tube videos and the last one

I did was

November 2008...

I really need to get better about doing them a little more often...

I have subscribers that might like to see some

new ones from time to time.

Back to Business

After everyone was 'done for the day'

and tucked snuggly in their

beds

I stayed up and worked

on some new

digital pieces.

I've got them listed in the Shop.
