Post 288: New Art Prints

New Art Prints

I've only painted ONE (1) ! -gasp- UNO painting so far this year. For me, that's amazing. I have a blank canvas looking at me too. It's not because of not knowing what I want to paint next, its more of a which idea to paint next. Actually, what took precedence though was some much needed "pre-spring" cleaning, rearranging, downsizing, catching up, and all that entails. AND it is Tax Time too. UGH.

AND it is the ongoing Etsy updates and print ordering and creating. So it has been a busy in and around the studio. But that canvas is still looking at me saying, "what?".

The art shows at Open Space Arts had a great December and January for me. Sold some work. Good thing. It is wonderful to know someone appreciates your artwork and wants it to hang in their homes. For the artist though, that means you can still "sell" that same painting through its art prints. 

Between emptying and rearranging closets, I have been getting prints made of some of my artwork and getting them posted on Etsy - which, if you are familiar, takes time in and of itself, even if you use the copy feature.

So here are some of the prints that I have added to my Etsy Page at @DonnaLiguriaArt Please check them out when you have time.

"Starry Night Blues Inspired by Vincent van Gogh"

"A Day at Blue Ridge Shores"

"Historic Virginia Homes Series - Gunston Hall" - coming soon

"Historic Virginia Homes Series - Monticello"

"Historic Virginia Homes Series - Mount Vernon"

"My Island Paradise in a Red Dress"

"Sailing Away"

"Sunrise at Historic Manassas Train Station"

"Blue Ridge Shores Main Beach"

"Sunrise at Nags Head, NC"

A great fine art print is a great way to get artwork that you like without the costs of the original piece. It is a way to still support the artist. The typical sizes might be 8x10, 11x14, 12x12, 12x16 (depending on the original) and there are some other variations but if you don't see a size you want, just ask...I may have it or I can order it.

A marvelous wedding location in Berryville, VA, especially at Christmas - the historic Rosemont Manor. After last weekend being in the single digits, Thursday and Friday, December 29 for the Rehearsal Dinner and December 30 for the wedding - outside in front of the waterfall then the dinner in the "barn" was a spectacular event with temperatures in the 50-60s. This painting is a gift to the newlyweds to remember their beautiful day when they exchanged vows. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
