Notecards

My neighbor just reminded me that notecards make great holiday gifts, she's already ordered 9 boxes. They're terrific for hostess gifts, office gifts, teachers gifts, stocking stuffers and to keep on hand for that unexpected little gift. You can choose from any of the images you see on these blog pages to make your own assortment. A box of 5 cards is $8.00, 10 cards $15.00. Plus shipping. Email for more details or click on the notecard link over on the right side of the blog.

My Gallery at Nationwide

Since the galleries that represent my work are closed for the season I wanted to remind everyone in the Portland area that several of my paintings are on display at the Nationwide Insurance Offices (the Harris Agency) on Brighton Ave in Portland. If you're looking for a special Holiday gift paintings can be purchased directly from the Agency. Wishing all my friends a very happy holiday season.

Carmel Plein Air

Yes, I managed to find a marsh to paint in California. There aren't too many of them where I've been traveling but this one was special. It's at Carmel River Beach. Spectacular with the hills in the back, the Pacific ocean to the rear. I did a couple of paintings which I will post on the daily painting blog another day.

Sonoma Plein Air

This week I spent two fabulous days painting in Sonoma County, California. This photo was taken at the B.R. Cohn Vineyards. The fall colors were still very vibrant and it was a glorious day. If I wasn't already addicted to plein air, I am now. I'll post a few paintings when I can over on the daily painting blog.

First Snow, Mt Washington

Acrylic on gallery wrap canvas, 6x12

I finally had time to finish this painting I started the day after our trip to Mt Washington in October. The mountain had been snowcapped for about 2 weeks but the snow cover was light enough that the mountain's character was very prominent. You can see more about this painting in the acrylics portfolio.

Holiday Cards from Maine

I have several images that are suitable for Holiday Cards. You can order the 5x7 cards with envelopes from Fine Art America or Greeting Card Universe. Price depends on quantity.

Links to the websites where you can order the cards are over there on the righthand side bar, or you can email me for further information.
