I just discovered the EXTRA FINE paint marker. I’ve been using the medium and large ones in my paintings for awhile and they work great! But I found a new best friend in the extra fine ones!!! Especially white!

“Don’t know what else to add to that unfinished painting? Has production come to a standstill because of a creative brain fart”?

Try the fabulous EXTRA FINE WHITE PAINT MARKER!

Why, you ask? Welll…. for me, it added some much needed contrast. Not only contrast of the bright WHITE up against the dark background I had, but contrast in line type and thickness. I can’t paint a line that thin and uniform….

can youuuu?

I just discovered another WONDERFUL artist! His name is Jon Schooler and he has a studio in New Orleans. I’m trying to find out more about his process. It is some sort of screen printing process I believe. I was fortunate enough to see a large print of one of his paintings, and the image above just does not do his artwork justice! It is super cool! It looks almost like different colors of sand swirled together.

Ummm… I’m not sure how to put a link in here yet, but I have a link to his website on the right hand side. From his site, you can get to his blog which has many more examples of his work.

Basically we lost your information.  If you bought a print from us at the the Hartsburg Festival please please email us and get us your information so we can get your Certificate of Authenticity out to you.  We are very sorry, but through the excitement of the weekend, with all the packing and unpacking your information got lost in the mix somewhere.  So agian please write into us so we can get this corrected for you as soon as possible.

So as you can tell the weekend was very productive.  We really learned a lot in seeing what of Mary’s pieces got the most attention.  Mary is already talking and thinking about ideas for pieces.  Thank you to all for the inspiration.  We also learned a lot about setting up for these things and what to do and what NOT to do.  Like make sure you have some sort of tent to take shelter in.  After saturday I think we were all done for.  The heat had taken its toll on us, Anna got sick, and the sun burns were bad.  We really need a cash register of some sort, and some secure wind proof ways of displaying the art; OH and plenty of rest.

Some things to look forward to are comming up.  We are planning an Auction for some time next year.  More details on that to be announced.  I am working on a redesign on the web site.  The Blog is going to stay, however we would like her page to look more professional and artistic.  With Mary being both a designer and an Artist we should have something reflects her.  Mary’s next show will be Gulf Shores, AL at SOHO Design studio in November.  More details on that as it comes available.  The show in Novemeber is still sorta up in the air in the fact of whether it will be in November or January.

So agian Thank You to everyone that showed up this weekend and stopped to talk with us.
