Two months ago I joined Society6. I finally decided to post something up for sale, starting with my mushroom trio. They are available as prints, laptop skins, and iPhone covers.  Check them out at Society6.

Giclee Canvas: Mushrooms

Introducing Giclee Prints of my mushroom trio, printed on stretched canvas. I am very impressed with the quality.

I have done extensive research to find a good, reliable printing company. I must have spent months researching and contacting different printers. Many were simply unreliable, unavailable,  and I felt they didn't care. I'm not going to name names as this is not a venting post.

Anyway, I am very satisfied with these canvas. The Canvas arrived a week after I ordered and were sealed with maximum protection (took me a while to unpack it). They even attached hooks on the back for hanging and little velvet dots to keep the painting form bumping into the wall, so it doesn't damage the painting or the wall.

Magnets are here.

Yay!!! I was so excited to come home today to a little package by my door from PureButtons. My magnets are here. I ordered only 2 designs of my mushrooms, my "Wild Thing" and "Autumn Dawn". I wanted to test out how they look and I must say they are too adorable. The magnets are 1.5x1.5 inch square, perfect size from my original 6x6 canvas paintings, so I didn't have to crop anything.

 I'm kinda tempted to fill up my entire fridge with them. That won't be too ridiculous, would it?

New Work: Progress

I tend to be more of a starter than a finisher. I have about 9 paintings I need to finish, but that doesn't stop me from starting new ones. Once I get an idea, I get a jolt of energy and motivation to start on it - finishing it is another story.

Anyway, before I bore you with my rambling. Here is a new piece I started on.
A sketch in graphite on wood panel. It's so cute. I hope I can finish it by Easter.

 

Wild Shrooms

 

My series of mushroom creatures started with these three little guys I did for the Charming Gallery in NYC. They were on display last year. Since then, my love for all things shrooms grew and now I have about a dozen shroom painting I'm trying to finish.I don't remember exactly how the idea came about. It might have been after attending the Tim Burton exhibit at the MoMA( which was mind blowing by the way) and remembering the old Alice in Wonderland cartoon with the talking flowers in the garden.
