I have been busy doing busy work the past few days. Prints. Matboards. Framing. Office work. Inventory Lists. Price Lists.  All that fun stuff.   So here is a peek at some of the Prints for Valentines. I have added some fun in here too! I even put in an older works back from 2018! It's amazing how time flies!  

I have put together some of my most popular florals.   The studio is still a disaster! But it doesn't matter, because off they go... Now available!  

  It's that time of year again! Gathering my collection of Romance together. I will be putting up Prints on Etsy as well.

I briefly mentioned the new Romantic Contemporary Series in the last post. Not only is it a new series that will be available in Prints,  but it will become a calendar for 2024.   I know it seems a bit early, we just opened up 2023.  We have barely scratched into January. But I know that it will take me a few months to get these paintings done,  and photographed, and printed. It is quite the process to undertake. It's better to be on the safe side. The hardest decisions to make will be what paintings go with that month?  

I started on a series at the end of last year and it involves over a years worth of still life's that I had done prior. I have collected all these photos, did all the photo shoots ahead of time so that I can go ahead and just paint them. All of the paintings are 12" x 16" in size, whether they are landscape or portrait oriented varies. They all started off like this, like a toddler drew them. (I find I have less patience now for fiddling with drawings although it is important to get it right) I changed the orientation of this piece because I felt it worked better upright. There are still a few areas that I need to go into and detail here and there, but it is 90% done.  

This is something I painted on Sunday. On a whim. Which is NOT part of my goal set for January. I've started off course already. Sigh.  Something I have been meaning to try is time-lapse videos of painting. Since I don't actually paint for hours and hours at a time (I wish I could!),  I have been created small little segments. Here is one that I posted yesterday.
