New Little Paintings and Anonymous Art

I will soon be delivering these tiny paintings to Oh Brothers. They are 3” x 3”. I love working on these little canvases and hope to finish a bunch more before Christmas (might be perfect for that hard-to-buy-for person on your list…).

In other news, I just finished another painting, but I can’t post it here yet. I have submitted it to the Anonymous Show put on by the North Vancouver Arts Council. The show will consist of over 600 unsigned 8” x 8” paintings, all priced at $100. The sale and opening is on Nov. 24, 7-9:30pm. All the info is here.

Time to freshen things up

For a while now I have been thinking about redesigning my website. Ideally I’d like my new website to include: a gallery of all work, a blog to present new work and share news, and a store.

Currently, my original paintings are for sale on Etsy and prints are available on Imagekind, but my plan is to be able to sell items directly from my own website. Etsy and Imagekind are great sites, but they don’t give me the kind of control that handling my own sales would. For instance, if someone purchases a print from my Imagekind store, I do not have access to their name or info. I am never able to thank those who have purchased prints of my work. (So if you are one of those people, I thank you now! I was not ungrateful – I just didn’t know it was you!).

Anyway, the process has begun. I am slowly working away at my new site. I’m sure this will be a long process – there hasn’t been lot of free time these days with the kids being out of school. On the rare occasions that I have a block of time to myself, I have to choose between painting and working on the website – and painting is just way more fun.

This is a very, very preliminary look at what I’ve been working on:

Where to Find It

I just wanted to update you on where you can find my artwork in Vancouver.

Corner Cup, Kitsilano

I just finished hanging my work at Corner Cup, 3301 West 4^th Avenue. It’s a cozy neighbourhood coffee shop a few blocks from my house. The owner, Bruno, has done a great job of creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere, with delicious coffee and snacks. If you’re going to stop by, let me know – I’d love to buy you a coffee.

Laura K Jewitt in Point Grey

I have recently dropped off 3 new paintings at Laura K. Jewitt Design, a jewelry shop at 4469 West 10^th Avenue. Thank you Laura for selling my Boathouse painting last month!

And last (but certainly not least), you can find a few of my paintings at Oh Brothers, 2575 West Broadway. They have a great selection of hand crafted items by Canadian Artists.

Now that all of my work is out in the neighbourhood, I better go make some more.

Small Ritual

Yesterday I put up 16 paintings at the Small Ritual Coffee Society — a relaxed, neighbourly coffee shop in White Rock. We had the opening yesterday evening.

Music was played. Coffee was enjoyed.

The crowd

Checkers were played.

Me, relaxing after the work was done.

The art work will be up through the month of August, so stop by for a coffee if you get a chance.

I love the book shelf - take one, leave one.

Calgary Stampede Western Showcase

Today I shipped these four paintings off to the Calgary Stampede Western Showcase. The show includes 129 pieces from 33 artists, all with a Western theme. Unfortunately I am unable to attend the show this year, but am very excited to be a part of it!
