Ship To Shore Shoes, oil on canvas, 7"x9". Sold.
I was able to sneak away from it all and spend some time in the studio the other day after almost a week of not touching a paint brush. Felt a little weird to go so long without painting.
Now it's time to scrub a bunch of oysters to get ready for tomorrow's festivities.
Happy New Year everyone.....2011 should be fabulous!

It seems after much trial and error, we've managed to figure out our Christmas cards. My brother (the computer expert) even flew in from Vancouver to help out. Well, he had a few other reasons to visit, but I kidnapped him and parked him in front of photoshop and begged him to help. After some swearing and cursing, and much wasted card stock we managed to perfect our method. He's an airline pilot and designs iphone apps and making greeting cards almost destroyed his sanity. I guess the things that should be simple, often are not.
I've listed some in my etsy shop, but we're waiting on more of our card stock to arrive from Texas....a little far away, so more will trickle in as supplies arrive.
SHIPPING WARNING! We're getting closer and closer to December and that means horrible shipping delays. Cards aren't a big problem because they can go out lettermail (5-7 days) but prints have to go out parcel method. November 29 is actually the cut off date for small packet air to the US and most other countries to guarantee a timely Christmas delivery. After November 29th, I have to switch my shipping method to expedited and that is more costly and will add about $5 on to the shipping. Last year I spent most of my evenings tearing my hair out worrying about shipping, so I've decided it's likely best for everyone this year to just change the shipping method to something faster once December arrives.

Dancers, oil on canvas, 20"x30". For sale on Zatista.
This is a larger piece that I've been working on for quite a while and it's basically another love letter to pretty shoes. I spend my days in socks and yoga pants (not particularly glamorous) so this is just my way of acting out a fantasy.
I'm still working on those darn Christmas cards, it's just been difficult sourcing out the perfect card stock, but I think we've found a good one, so they should appear later this week. I'll post a note on my blog when they're ready.

Hide And Seek, 10"x14", oil on canvas. Sold.
I'll never paint wallpaper like that again. What was I thinking? I almost went nuts painting all those little squares, but for some reason I was very determined to have such a graphic background in this piece. The clock was fun though. I'm going through a 60's phase, can you tell?
Christmas Belles, 11"x14", oil on canvas. For sale on etsy.
This one is pretty much a sequel to the 'Deck The Heels' card that I did last year. We're busy working on our Christmas cards right now and hope to get them up in the shop late next week. We finally invested in a high end printer capable of handling fine art printing, so it's exciting and challenging to do the work ourselves. A lot of wasted paper (sorry trees) as we've been working through the kinks, but I think we've got things sorted out now.
