Time is running out ~ But it isn't too late!

I still need HELP!  

As I wrote last week, I am moving my home and studio in a couple weeks.  So, I'm offering some of my small paintings for just a few short weeks at a fraction of what they usually sell for.  This offer is given so that I have less to pack and move and so that my friends can enjoy some original art! Perhaps this will start or add to your own collection!

Now through July Friday, July 24th. The following are $19.95 each and that includes shipping!! (These paintings usually sell for $90 - $120).  That's right! $19.95 - and that's the full amount*!  See below the images for how to do this!  Each are ready to frame, but some are painted around the edges and framing is optional. The one's that have sold in the last week are now marked sold, but there are still more at this once-ever opportunity! 
* (Please note: Free shipping only within the US - for IL residents, I do need to add 8.25% sales tax, which adds $1.65. Your new total is only - $21.60)

Email me:   studio_upstairs@hotmail.com.  Include the title of the painting or paintings you'd like and I'll send you an invoice through PayPal. You can use your PayPal account or a credit card, and you don't even HAVE to have a PayPal account to participate! Then, after receiving payment, it will be packaged and sent!  It's that simple! 

I'm hoping each and every one of these will find a great home! (Don't forget, they can also make a great gift!)   I'm not painting these smaller sizes much anymore, so this is a great opportunity for my friends and a big help to me!     First come, first served! But the offer expires on July 24th! 
Thanks!!

Besides featuring my newest work and my comments about how and why and my intentions as I paint in my monthly newsletter,  Notes from my Studio, I also made a limited time offer on these 2 paintings.  I only make this offer available to my newsletter recipients.  The offers vary from month to month.  I also include interesting tidbits about managing a full time job & art, about various travel experiences I may have, about how faith and my work intersect, and family events.  

Actually, its sort of a "slice of (an artist's) life".  Sometimes life gets very busy and you get a delayed version.  Sometimes there's great news that I can't wait to share, and you get an early edition.  

However, the way to get the newsletter version of what's happening is by joining my list! 
(And if you'd like info about how to get in on this month's offer - its not too late to sign up!)

This original painting, which was sold to NBC Studios for the set of Chicago Fire, is now available as a giclee* print! 
How cool to own a print that is nearly impossible to distinguish from the original painting, but priced at far less!   It is printed on a textured watercolor-type archival paper with vibrant inks.

Please order ASAP so that the print can be made, matted, and shipped in time for Mother's Day arrival!  (About 2 weeks should be allowed!) 

*What is a giclee print?  The term  "Giclee print" refers to advanced technology in printmaking. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks on fine archival paper.  This process yields a higher color accuracy than other means of reproduction, as well as excellence in image quality and fine detail. And because inks and paper are archival, prints are light-fast and non water soluble.  It is rather difficult to tell the original from the print! 
Its a terrific way to hang a lovely piece of art at a great price!
