Busy with Summer ( back to work)

August 17th, 2010 • By: janis • in:Blog

Well as you have noticed I am so far behind in blogging. Summer here in Naramata becomes very busy with famly and friends and it is so gloriously beautiful it is hard to get down to staying indoors and working. Alas I have finished a new painting that is a gift for someone but I will be making prints shortly from it. I will post this picture next. Here is one of my best friends visiting, Alison.

Converse runners

July 13th, 2010 • By: janis • in:Blog

I have painted a pair of Conerse runners. On the shoes I have a wine theme and Koye fish. I have primed them first where I want the paint then have used acrylic paint and sprayed them with a protective finish. One has to be somewhat careful to avoid water and not to over use because it still is art! $260 They are now at Hillside Winery.

Hi, I know I have not had a new post in the past days but I am busy working on a commision for someone of their dog and as well have been looking into doing some Giclee prints on canvas. I have done a few in the past and people seem to like them, so I went and had a photographer take some  shots of my some of my paintings that I have and they are ready on file to be able to print  in various sizes and prices. So if anyone has any inquiries about certain images and prices just send me an e-mail.  So wonderful to see the sun today!
