Veronica Is Joining Me on eBay

"SUMMER RAIN"
SOLD
3 Canvas each 12"x12"x3/4"

The most recent addition to my ongoing work in progress is my daughter Veronica Laflin, now adding her artistic offerings to my own on eBay. I must say, she paints in Pastel, which is very different from my own, as well as being quite Abstract. A welcome change of pace I must say, and something fairly exciting as well.

Here is her beautiful face smiling back:

Thank You To EBSQ: Blogger Of The Week

EBSQ Blogger of the Week: Vera Dennen

Wish to thank Amanda Makepeace of EBSQ for nice words and for making me their BLOGGER OF THE WEEK. Love this Artists Group for their open arms to art and artists of every media, diverse subject matter, and willingness to show outlets where art being shown might be purchased. They allow links to an artists own web site, ebay stores, imagekind, etsy, etc., which is very unusual for most sites to promote. Their Artists Blogs are also fun reads, as well as full of unique and interesting art work.

So thanks againg to EBSQ and Editor Amanda Makepeace for picking me:

Another Watercolor Painting on Canvas:

"OLD ROCKY LEDGE ROAD" 18" x 24" x 3/4" Deep--ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR

This one is a personal favorite. As many know, the longer one keeps a Painting the more fold of it you grow. . . which is exactly the case here. This Painting was never framed, and has never been displayed as for sale in a show, therefore each time I have thumbed through raw Paintings through the years, I would pause and look. Have grown very fond of this special piece, which is now mounted onto Gallery Wrap Canvas, and ready for sale. Good luck to any bidders on this truly special piece of my heart.

I'm still having a great deal of fun painting these 12"x12" squares, not making any money however! The last one I shipped to a Canadian Buyer cost me $20 something to ship, and was only paid $9.95 for the painting. LOL! And that isn't even discussing materials involved to create and pack, let alone labor! But hey, I'm not complaining because I enjoy doing these, and in this economy, with even health care in question, Art is the last thing on any one's mind.

WATERCOLOR: Commissioned

"Good Friends" 16" x 20" Watercolor
This painting will be mounted onto Gallery Wrapped Canvas 3/4" deep, and may or may not received a Floating Frame after that. Have yet to discuss Floating Frame with Paintings Patron. Will post again when totally finished either way.

MY FIRST FLOATER FRAME:

Saw a Painting in a floater-frame not long ago on wall in Dr.'s office and loved the look. Soooooo, this is my very first Watercolor, mounted on Canvas, Varnished, and mounted in Floater Frame. Love the simplicity and very contemporary look.

BACK AND SIDES OF STRETCHED WATERCOLOR ON CANVAS:

Here is back and side image of what my stretched Watercolors look like over Canvas. A second reason why I stretch over canvas, besides strength, is neat clean lines: no staples, no folded corner. Just the way I like them.

Currently I am stretching some of my older Paintings that have never been framed, and therefore, never shown. So they are almost all on 140 lbs. Arches Cold Press. But am going to try stretching some raw 156 lb. and raw 300 lb. very soon, so that I'll know what I'll face prior to stretching this weight Of Painting. Will let you know further how these come out once they are finished.

ANOTHER USE FOR MY MOUNTED 12X12'S . . .

I had scaned a few of my Original Watercolors mounted onto 12x12's Canvas before shipping them as they sold, and decided to do a Giclee print onto Cavas and see how well it turned out. The results were great. Love it! The Giclee even shows the wonderful texture of the watercolor paper, which I love, and since this is Pigmented Ink, it will not fade from UV or run from Moisture either.
