print sale still going on!

Thanks so much to everyone for all the print orders that have come in! They are still rolling in, and Kimberly is still buried in her "regrouping" so let's keep grouping!

I'll keep the sale up and running until I hear from Kimberly with the next fresh-off-the-easel painting.

Email me with any questions, comments, or suggestions!

(I have one suggestion... we need to get an updated photo of the prints!)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Sharie

P.S. You don't need a PayPal account to purchase prints.

Print Sale extended! (and clarified!)

We can't bring ourselves to end the print sale this weekend, so we're extending it another week for you! Prints are $18 with free shipping.

Choose any painting on the blog and email the titles to us and we'll get started on your order.

And just to clarify, the titles of the paintings are NOT printed on the images as shown in the original Valentine Print Sale post. The titles were just shown there for some Valentine inspiration and ease of ordering. Our apologies for the confusion!

Print images are 5" x 5" with a white border for handling (or framing, if you like!) as shown above.

Have a fabulous Valentine's weekend! I *heart* you all!

big spender

6" x 6" oil on gessoed panel

~inspired by the Lockheed Lounge and a silkscreen by Andy Warhol~

Marc Newson’s Lockheed Lounge remains the most expensive chair ever sold. Designed in the mid-1980’s, the curving design takes its shape, as well as its name, from the aerospace industry. With only ten chairs produced, the Lockheed Lounge is highly sought after. In 2007, the bidding for one of these chairs skyrocketed to $1,500,000 at a Christie’s auction.

And to the highest bidder for Big Spender goes not only a fine portrait of the world’s most expensive chair, but an amusing story to tell at your next cocktail party.

timeless

This dedication goes out to my favorite little artist, Sam. I think he was born with a marker in his hand, and now he has this obsession with clocks (and we all know how I feel about obsessions!). In particular, he loves clocks with pendulums, as evidenced here in these drawings.

Sam was kind enough to render my portrait recently. It's an incredible likeness, for those of you who have wondered what I look like. He's managed to capture the fact that I like more than one Guns-n-Roses song. Oh, Sweet Child O' Mine...

scent of a woman

The smell of spring wafting through my studio window has been intoxicating. I get this way every spring, inhaling and admiring the renewing earth as if I were experiencing it for the first time. The lilac tree, the lily of the valleys, the daffodils. Heaven.

So, why "The Figure Five in Gold" (1928) by Charles Demuth, you ask? Well, this juxtaposition is personal. My Granny's favorite perfume was Chanel no.5 and the only perfume she would wear. She had a beautiful and well-kept little garden where, among other flowers, lily of the valleys and lilacs flourished under her care. And now I'm lucky enough to have these two favorites in my backyard. She passed away 11 years ago and to this day, I cannot walk through my spring garden without thinking I detect just a hint of Chanel no.5.
