Winter Bandit - January Featured Painting!

January's Featured Painting! 

$30.00

Winter Bandit,  5x5" acrylic on canvas

©2012, Helen Read 

Ready to frame 

SOLD

This is a little different approach for me.  Its a highly stylized cedar waxwing ... with an abstract background.  The colors are bright, which is just what is needed in the long stretches of winter grayness!  

This little painting has been listed at its "featured" price just for the month of January.  Its a great opportunity to own an original work of art for a great price.  After January, if it hasn't sold, it will go to its regular price.  

Happy New Year! 

I hope you have a wonderful beginning to 2012!

Only for the month of August, this small painting is being offered at its special featured cost.  It is just off the easel and ready to be shipped to you!    If it is unsold at the end of August, it will be available for its regular price of $100.00.
