enter to win this painting. details below
The touch of a loved one. A kiss from a favorite pet. The sight of a beautiful place. There is not much else to compare to the sights, sounds, smells of your happy place. These things soothe the soul. I rank art right up at the top of my list of things that soothe my soul. Making art and looking at art.

I have a few pieces of original art in my home. Paintings from favorite artists that I have collected or traded when the opportunity arose. These paintings are treasures. I never tire of looking at them. I always seem to see something new when I glance at them. I learn from them and they make me smile.




This year I would like to make the gift of art more affordable. Since I am not affiliated with any galleries I am able to set my own prices and while it is sometimes frowned upon in the art world I am going to have a sale!  But a sale with a fun twist.

I have put together a collection of my original paintings of all sizes and I will be offering them at 50% off regular price. The sale prices will be available until midnight on Monday NOVEMBER 30. 

HOW: Visit my Etsy shop Holiday Sale section CLICK HERE FOR SALE  Use the coupon code HOLIDAY50 at checkout to receive the discounted price.

BONUS TWIST:  Everyone who makes a purchase during the sale will be entered into a drawing to win the  8x10 original marsh painting at the top of today's post. Winner will be selected and notified by email next week.


I would love for these paintings to have good homes and spread joy. Thank you for having a look and for taking time to read my blog!

I love reading your blog and trying to learn. I would also love to buy some of your paintings. Unfortunately, I live in Spain and you don't ship internationally. Perhaps you might look into doing so? I understand it's probably a hassle with customs and that it might make shipping expensive, but if you have enough followers abroad it might be an idea.

Just wondering if you meant the sale runs through Monday Nov 30?

Oh this is beautiful! What a cool idea! I love the painting, it's wonderful. It emanates peace, it is a happy place in its own right. That's one I could lose myself in easily.

One more point to other artists - when you have art by an artist you admire, they're in your home teaching you from then on. I have one of Karen's incredible minis on my wall and I'm still stunned by how much she captured in such a small area and how she created certain textures and small marks, especially with blunt soft pastels.

This sale is a great opportunity. I'm tempted and especially with that prize, the raffle is wonderful. Someone's going to get very lucky!
