Bears!

Here are a few bears I painted recently, you'll notice they're inspired by the banners I made a few months back. They'll be going up on Etsy soon, but you can message me in the comments if you're interested in them. Speaking of Etsy, make sure you read all the way through this post.

By the way: in honor of today's British royal birth, I made a terrible joke on the last photo. Sorry in advance.

Now then: Do you follow me on Facebook? Like my page and you'll see a way to browse my Etsy shop that is most rewarding (click the "My Etsy shop" icon once you're there.)

I'm currently offering 10% off items already in the shop.

Why?

Because my checkbook needs a stimulus so I can make more art!

So follow this link and treat yourself!

Happy Birthday, little town 'o mine

Barred Owl Banner

Our little town celebrated it's 250th Birthday last Saturday! Here are some of the banners I helped create as decoration up and down three of the main roads. Over 80 banners were completed overall, with work contributed by several local artists and other volunteers. All of it was spearheaded by artist Mary Hill, who provided guidance, materials and the use of her wonderful studio space. I actually worked on at least 5 other banners (or 5 sides, anyways) but don't have photos of those yet.

These are all 24"x36", and it was a good exercise to work this fast (deadline!!!!) and loose. Thank goodness we worked this big, because once they're up twelve feet off the ground they don't look so big...

I also really enjoyed working on the black canvas (it looks blue in some of these because it was evening when I snapped the pics.)

Not sure yet if there are plans to auction these off afterwards, or to display them elsewhere. Still, the whole thing was a fun diversion, and I may have to make some for our house.
