It's My Birthday! ---AGAIN!
/This weekend is my birthday! Yay me! And yay you! I'm doing a little sale to celebrate. Just use code CELEBRATE on any order over $51 and get 20% off.
You might want to think of it as a pre-Christmas shopping sale. If you're considering ordering something framed or something that's shipping outside the USA for a Christmas present, really consider taking advantage of this sale. Yes, I'll have other special offers before Christmas but I am also going to be away for 1 week in December. Might as well eliminate as much chaos and anxiety around the holidays as possible!

On the drawing board: The right size tool for the job.
/Often the tools of the artist are whatever happens to be handy. When the circles on your plastic geometry template aren't big enough you have to search around for something else to use. Roll of tape?..coffee cup?...too big. Skin cream lid?...too small. Finally I found the perfect size ring right there in my nightstand. I think some of you know what it is.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...no it's not...but...
/I know, it feels too early to be thinking about Christmas...but in order to start and finish a painting, get cards printed, and make them available for people to order and send out before the big day...well, you gotta start before the leaves fall off the trees.
Here's a little portion of my holiday painting outline.
