Why Not Art?

If you are like me, you are always looking for something different and unique for Christmas and Holiday shopping.  Well, why not art?

I just relisted one of my giclee prints on Etsy.  This is one of the first crows I ever painted, and it's probably the most popular, too :) Sorry, but the original is already sold...it's happily residing in the home of a crow lover in beautiful British Columbia. But the print is still available, and now I am offering free shipping on it, too :)

It is printed on GORGEOUS heavy weight archival watercolor paper which is 8x10 inches.  The actual image size is 7 1/2x6 inches.


So, if you'd like to have free shipping on ANY item in my Etsy shop, all you have to do is enter the code HAPPY HOLIDAYS when you are checking out.

Don't leave it too long to order though, especially if you would like to receive your item by Christmas!  According to Canada Post's website, parcels to the United States need to be shipped by December 8th and items within Canada by December 12th.  (This is by regular post.  Sorry, but I can't extend the free shipping to Express Post, but if you do need your parcel in a hurry and it's past the deadline, just email me and we will work it out :)

Who Loves French?

Who doesn't love French?  The romance of the language...the gorgeous countryside of France or the incredible beauty of Paris, famous for its history, romance and art?

I love the language, and it's been on my bucket list for a few years now to learn it fluently.  I have been taking weekly classes for two years now, and I've come a long way, but still have tons to learn.  I love getting out once a week to get my French fix.

French class is finished for the summer and will start up again in the fall.  So to honour my love for French, I have decided to relist my Valentine ACEOs on Etsy ♥  If you'd like to have a look at the listing just click on the image :-)

Do you love French?  Leave me a comment!

So little time...

I have been going like a madwoman making changes to my website!  I have struggled with learning CSS, but I think it is finally coming together.

I have gotten a really good start on the galleries (check out my vertical drop down menu, please!!) but I still need to get some more paintings on there.  The Angels section is finished, as are the Florals.  Still have to get the Landscapes written and uploaded as well as Abstracts, Soldered Frames, Quilts, Still Life and New Work.

It is pretty cool when it all starts coming together, but hard on the head trying to sort that code out.  My son keeps asking me why I don't use one of those programs that do all that stuff for you, but hey, I do love a challenge.


If you get a moment, check out my Etsy page.  I have my latest painting "A Simple Pear" on there now and it seems to be getting quite a few looks.http://www.etsy.com/shop/jdmstudios
