I love the holiday season and especially all the gift making that comes along with it—hand-painted wooden ornaments, small batch preserves and vinegars, tins of homemade treats. There is something very special about giving something made in my own home to loved ones and neighbors.
I have also been making gifts for you to give to special folks in your life: I have been working on a series of small 4 x 4 in cold wax paintings for sale at holiday markets this year. (See below for a sample.)
I love painting these small abstract pieces, trying to capture the beauty of our experience and condensing it into its essential parts—which is all that will fit on 4 x 4 in surface! Such a wonderful challenge! The other media I have used in producing these are used tea bags, brown paper, ink, water color, oil stick, wax crayon, graphite and acrylic.
Affordable art is a great gift and I’m really pleased to be able to offer these signed and framed pieces at prices perfect for gifting, from $65 to $80 per painting. I am also offering 8 x 8 in framed cold wax paintings on wooden panel for a discounted rate of $250. (Please do get in touch about any piece you might be interested in—everything is discounted to make space in my studio for my new collection.)
I hope you’ll find one or a few pieces for folks on your list at one of these holiday events:
Cooperstown Art Association Holiday Show & Sale: November 16–December 21
354 Main Annual Holiday Market, A boutique shop located in Otego: One day only, Saturday, December 7th, 3–7pm. I will be at 354 Main for the duration of the market and would love to see you and share some complimentary food and drink with you!
I wish you a hand-made holiday season full of light and magic!
