New This Week

I've made the 'Creeper Carnival' prints

available as a 4 Print Set...

at a lower cost PLUS an additional 25% Off

during the

Summer Print Sale.
It's like getting 4 prints for the
price of 3.

New 'Creeper Carnival' paintings are 

'in the works'...

they are...

1. Creeper Clown

2. Creeper Knife Thrower

3. Creeper Trapeze Performers

4. Creepers..Big and Small

I'm also working on some new pieces

that will be painted on wood.

Hopefully I'll get all of the paintings that

are in various 'stages of completion'

listed on Thursday or Friday.

Just an 'F.Y.I.'....

since I really don't want to try to manage

more than 150-160 items in my 

Shop

at a time...

(I may change my mind at some point...but for now

I want to 'stick' with that number)

I will be pulling a number of older

prints and bookmarks...

to make room for the newer pieces.

I'll have a list of the pieces that I will

be pulling in my Thursday post...

I know that is kind of 'late' notice...but I'll post it

early and I won't be pulling anything until

Midnight or so.

A Couple Pieces I listed over the Week-End

"Phoenix"

I did this little piece..on a small 5" x 7" canvas sheet.

It was the first time for me trying something like

this...so I opted to do it on a smaller size.

It is framed though.

I picked up a couple of frames at a neighborhood yard sale...

and I did this piece 'especially' to go with this frame.

I would have loved to have found something a bit

more ornate...but this was the best I could do...as I don't get out to

as many auctions and yard sales as I'd like...

maybe I'll have to do some

'thrifting' one day soon!

 'The Perfect Spot'

for a Picnic!!

This is another canvas sheet painting...

to fit another of the frames I purchased at the yard sale.

It's not as 'fancy' as the first frame

but I got a pair of them and thought they'd be great

for some canvas sheet paintings.

The sheet is an 11" x 14"

and the frame is about a 12 x 16 or so 

(I haven't actually measured it...I can't find my yardstick.)

Summer Print Sale

I am still playing 'catch up'...

but I have pulled my extended 72 hour Sale

finally...

Having so much 'time' to paint...

also gave me time to think..

so I 'thought'

instead of having assorted sales every few weeks..

since that does take a quite a bit of time

putting a Sale Up..

only to take it back down in a day or so..
 (it averages 3 hours to put a sale in...and 3 hours to take it out)

so...I decided to have a 

"Summer Print Sale"

to run

indefinitely.

That way I can offer a discount on some of my items...

and save myself the time of changing prices..titles...etc.

leaving myself that much more time

to create new 'things'!

A busy Week-end!

I really enjoyed the 'time off' of the computer...

I got some MUCH needed time to paint some new pieces...

and I am so happy with how they turned out.

I listed all the new paintings

in the Shop.

Unfortunately each painting took so long to paint that I didn't get as

many painted as I'd hoped to.

And...I didn't get the pictures 'cleaned' from my laptop

or my little portable storage thingy....

Now...I have to play some 'catch up'...

I've got a lot of shipping to do..

more paintings in the works...

lots of blog posts to read and comment on...

so...I'll be having a very busy week-end!

Tribute

My husband and I had a wonderful

and very exciting life together...
He truly was/is the
'Love of my Life'!

It's June 18th

and I always like to make

sure he is

'remembered'...

I am 'back'

Well...I'm back.

Hopefully the cable is now fixed and

 won't keep going down...

only time will tell.

I guess I wouldn't have been without the internet

this long if I had called the cable company

a few days ago...

I've had 'service'...I just didn't know it.

I finally called to see how much longer and they said...

last Monday...

I needed to 'reset' my router...who knew?

Oh well...I got several new paintings completed...

had the little ones...two of three days...

and

decided that I need to get on the internet less..

and paint more.

Anyway...it will take me several days to get caught up..

in the meantime...

I will be ending my Sale tomorrow....

my 72 hour Sale ended up going about three times longer than

it should have...

and I am listing the paintings I got done this past week.

Just in case..

This is the last of my

'scheduled' posts...so if you are reading this..

my internet is still down
(or I am 'buried' in a bunch of internet work
that accumulated while it was down.)

Just know that I have (hopefully) been able to get

a lot of new pieces painted.

I got some frames at the Yard Sale across the street

last week and I wanted to get them all painted and varnished

and do some pieces

especially for those frames...

My computer...and my zipdrive...needed my attention

desperately..

so I definitely got those all cleaned up...

to make room for new pieces.

If you are reading this...

I am hoping the cable problems are being resolved

and I will finally have internet access

without the hassles.
