St. Augustine Art

SOLD "Monarch"

The week before an art opening involves a whirlwind of activity, when I'm cataloging paintings, labeling them, framing, and packing them to go. My studio is in shambles as I grab for tape, drop the box of eye hooks, and wrangle with wire. But once a show is hung, the studio eventually makes its way back to its normal state of assortments of new paintings being developed.

SOLD "Pipers at Waters Edge"

These are a couple of the small paintings I showed in my last art opening. These "mini" paintings are 6" x 6" images of critters and landscapes around St. Augustine, Florida, and they always fly off the wall. They're popular. While the bigger paintings attract lots of lookers, these little paintings sell.


SOLD "Salt Water Marsh"

Why? Because people aren't investing too much money in large paintings right now. Instead, they look for less expensive alternatives. I see other artists selling lots of notecards and prints. I'm selling these mini's 6 x 6 paintings like crazy. The nice thing about them is that they are original paintings, but they're the same price as larger prints.
