TOO MUCH ART Sale: Last Day!

SOLD "Blue" (Morning Glories), metal print reproduction, 7" x 5"

My internet is being disconnect this weekend until after I have moved, so today is the last day of my online TOO MUCH ART Sale.

Today’s offering is a reproduction of a small painting that sold a few years ago. I then digitized it and “painted” on it some more in Photoshop. The image is printed on a thin aluminum sheet which will fit into a standard 5”x7” frame. It is hand signed on the back.

I have 3 of these, ready to mail to flower lovers out there. The cost of each one is $20 plus $5 shipping. (One to customer, please.)

As a reminder, all the artwork offered during the TOO MUCH ART Sale is posted here on this blog.

Have a good day!

Price $15 + $5 S&H

From Balloon Fiesta Park in Albuquerque, you get a wide, uninterrupted view of the Sandia Mountains, hence the long format of this plein air painting completed in July 2015.

This is a view of the Sandia Mountains from Coronado State Monument in Bernalillo (north of Albquerque), painted in plein air July 2013. just before a welcomed rainstorm blew in.

TOO MUCH ART Sale: Day 8

For today: a fun flower image and a landscape painted in Santa Fe. Enjoy! Shipping is $5 per piece or email me to pick up. Thank you!

SOLD “Spring Lilies”, handcolored print, matted 10” x 8”. Price $20

This is a fun flower drawing, with a kind of “retro” 50’s/60’s feel to it—looser than my usual rendering style. Still, I couldn’t resist a few gold touches to highlight the stamens.

SOLD “Santa Fe Trees”, oil on Italian canvas panel, , 8 ”x 6” unframed. Price $35

Another plein air landscape, painted in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains above Santa Fe. That area is abundantly populated by ponderosa pines and aspens, a lovely cool spot to paint on a hot summer day.

"TOO MUCH ART" Sale: Day 5

While packing this week, I came across a box of several plein air paintings I did back in 2013. So I thought I would send two New Mexico landscapes your way today. One was painted in Albuquerque; the other in Santa Fe. Small paintings like these are perfect for placement on a narrow wall or niche, or can be set on a display easel to sit a bookcase or side table. Enjoy!

SOLD “Landscape Sketch #3” (Sandia Mountains), oil on canvas panel, 4”x6” unframed. Price $15.

For those of you who unfamiliar with Spanish, “Sandia” means “watermelon” like the deep pink color the granite rock of the Sandia Mountains turns as the sun begins to set. All set up to paint one late afternoon, I was waiting for the mountains to take on that rosy glow to capture in my painting. I was not disappointed.

SOLD“Afternoon Arroyo” (Santa Fe), oil on canvas panel, 4”x6” unframed. Price $15.

I was up in Santa Fe painting with a plein air group. Can you tell from the painting that it was a hot afternoon in Santa Fe? Thank goodness for the cool of the shade.
