Greeting Cards at Fine Art America

I have lowered the price of my greeting cards at Fine Art America drastically.

I have not done this to devalue my artworks in any way. But, the thought suddenly occurred to me how effective greeting cards can be. Just think of it… greeting cards are often given to others as gifts. People often hold onto them for keepsakes too… some even stick them on their fridges.

That could be my artwork!

 

So, I have decreased the price to make it easier for people to buy them. When they do, hopefully others will see it and will be interested in buying one of my art prints.

Inseparable Hearts – Abstract Pencil Drawing

Inseparable Hearts is a recent graphite pencil drawing that explores the theme of love. I have completed many drawings and paintings with this theme. The most successful of these is an abstract painting named Entwined.

I have these two drawings placed together because they are similar in subject matter, symbolism, and have many other common elements. Actually, I am planning on doing a series of these exploring the same forms, and seeing where it leads me.

 

The forms are shaded to have a 3 dimensional effect in both, something that I am particularly good at… with lots of practice, of course. I enjoy making the shapes and forms “pop” off the paper, and being drawn into the image I am producing. Some of them look like a person can actually reach in. These actually look much better in person as opposed to on a computer screen.

Triumph – Abstract Drawing and Painting

 Triumph is an abstract oil painting that began with a pencil drawing a few years ago. Both the graphite pencil drawing and oil painting are shown below.

This drawing initially began with an idea, that of triumph, which is rejoicing over a success or victory. The images supporting this theme in the abstract artwork are ones that I often use for my art.
