Black Friday for Art
Artists Sunday is the new Black Friday, and I’m thrilled to be participating.
Join me for Artists Sunday on Nov 29. It’s like Black Friday or Small Business Saturday but for art.
I’ve joined artists and craftspeople across the country for the first annual Artists Sunday, a nationwide event, the Sunday after Thanksgiving, November 29th, encouraging consumers to shop with artists and craftsmen. Think Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, or Cyber Monday but for shopping for art!

There are a couple of conversations happening on my easel right now. Like the first presidential debate of 2020, except they’re getting along. Different values, same stage. Actually, my paint forms and oil paintings have the same values – just different ideas about getting there.

I had a few hours between jobs and wanted to paint but it was 80 degrees and sunny.
My wacky schedule has me juggling paint and down time. I’ve been dipping my toes into plein air situations, despite being fussy about painting scenarios. These recent open air paintings on paper have very little to do with what I’m doing – aside from opening potential to strike up conversations about purchasing work or raffle tickets.
To me, this plein air thing is more of a skill-building exercise than anything else. I don’t typically do these types of beachscapes, nor do I prefer to work quickly, or in public. I don’t like talking while painting. Heck, I don’t even like listening to music with lyrics at my easel.

It’s part of a shore surrealism series I started thinking about in 2017. This year brought an unbelievable reality scene set for making a series of surreal paintings. It’s 48×60″.

It’s one of a shore surrealism series I’ve been thinking about since 2017. I only know the date because I recently flipped through an old appointment book before shredding it.
Back to the painting, 2020 brought the scenario and I got started on these things. It’s somewhat large at 48×60. The original is still available. Now prints are, too.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or to schedule a virtual studio tour.
