Cyber TUESDAY Sale on Ebay

"Pink Umbrella for Your Drink"

Click here to bid on this painting and others.

Black Friday on Ebay went really well. At least half of my paintings sold (yeah!)...many of them sold for 1 $ (yeah for you!). So, I decided to list the remaining paintings and a few more I found lurking around the house. These make really great gift for friends, family, work, stocking stuffers, etc. and they are all original art. You can't beat that!

This will be my last $1 sale on Ebay for the year.

In 2014 I am moving out of the "hobby" stage of painting and into the "professional" stage of painting. I won't be offering my paintings at rock bottom prices any more. I have been doing this for going on 5 years and I think it's time for me to start offering them at the normal asking price.

Thank you all for your support!

Last week I think I mentioned that I was a bit disappointed in my paintings. So, it was time to make some changes to the process.

For this painting I first did an initial drawing and then transferred the drawing to my painting surface, which is a gesso panel (I decided to stay with panels for now). By doing this I hoped to get a little more detail in my drawing, but I hope it doesn't make the painting too stiff. I’m really not going for photo realism, just an impression of my subject, but an accurate impression.

What I love about painting with oils is seeing brushstrokes. So, I’m trying to make those more visible.

If you haven’t had a chance to stop by my ebay shop, here’s a painting that is currently available. It’s one of my favorites!

On Wednesdays I find one of my older paintings and list it on eBay at a starting bid of $1. Since I missed a few weeks I have 4 paintings at auction. AND I just think they all look really cute together. You can check them out here.

I'm going to be focusing on quilting/sewing for the remainder of the summer. You can see what I'm up to over here. I've also started doing a little watercolor illustration and you can check that out here.

I'm trying to keep this blog dedicated to still life painting. I'll be back here for One Dollar Wednesday and when the urge to paint with oil strikes me again.
