Greetings Friends!
Happy New Year!! BIG CHANGES are in store for me in 2016 and
that means moving my studio to a new condo and eventually selling my
house and moving into my studio!
After 16 years of having a studio and gallery outside the
home, I have chosen to "downsize" my studio and home, making my way
toward a simpler life with a smaller "footprint" allowing me to travel
more without the worries of a yard, shoveling and maintaining a 3 BR
family home! Now that the kids are all grown up, such a big house isn't
necessary and I look forward to spreading my wings and painting all over
the globe! Even as I write this, (besides packing and moving) I am
getting ready to go to CUBA to paint with a group of artists! Stay tuned
to see paintings depicting old cars and historic buildings from a place
unspoiled and frozen in time from the 1950s!
So all of this news brings me to my next and LAST Studio Sale
at my current space in the Third Ward! I will be practically giving
away paintings (most half price or more) to enable me to move to smaller
digs! If you took advantage of my sale 3 years ago when I moved from
the Hide House to the Third Ward, you got some great deals. But THIS
time, I'm offering a lot more paintings at half price, some of my best
paintings done as recently as 2015! It's a tough decision to do that,
but after this event, I will be raising my prices to keep in line with
my peers out there on the national scene and depending on galleries to
sell my work. SO if you've been waiting to buy one of my paintings, this
is your best opportunity to buy one for less money than they will ever
be offered again. DON'T wait! (Geez, I sound like a used car
salesman...SORRY!!)
Anyway, check out my flyer below for details!
ALSO, go to my website to look at available paintings because
MOST of those will be half price! You can expect to see them hanging on
the walls at the Urban Sanctuary ready for the picking!
