October Giveaway Winners
Congratulations to Julie R. of Weymouth, MA. Julie won the first print giveaway of October — Ripples and Currents, a 16x20-inch fine art print valued at $110. Cool blues and bold chartreuse greens make this a vibrant print — enjoy the art, Julie!
Marc C. of Dothan, AL was the winner of the second print giveaway of October — Field Notes, a 16x20-inch print on paper ($100 value). This very green painting has a musical quality to it. I love the splashes of white and the script-like marks that give the impression of familiar writing. It's a calming yet energizing fine art print. Enjoy the art, Marc!
Both paintings are offered as fine art prints in the Shop Prints gallery.

Two September Giveaways, Two Winners
September was a month to remember with two art giveaways. Katherine S. of Maumee, Ohio was the winner of Velocity of Rain, a 15" x 22" original acrylic painting on paper. Velocity splashes cool colors and repeating patterns across the canvas like water. It seems like raindrops on a window that looks out on a forested world. Congratulations, Katherine!
A 16" x 24" fine art print of Cabernet Twilight went to giveaway winner Laurel W. of Salem, NH. This bold, colorful painting has been featured in several gallery shows and won 3rd Place in the 2019 Colors Art Exhibition at the Art Room Gallery. Congratulations to Laurel on her win!
Both paintings are offered as fine art prints in the Shop Prints gallery.
I’m pleased to offer a fine art print or original painting to one of my subscribers each month. Follow the art — you could be the next randomly selected winner!

Congratulations to Calvin C.. of Elyria, Ohio, the winner of the August Original Art Giveaway painting Breakers (22" x 30" acrylic mixed media on paper). It features a saturated color palette using repeating, multilayered patterns to create a view of the ocean — waves and water in a sunrise (or sunset).

Binary Breakout Places in Juried Exhibition
The Richardson Civic Art Society (RCAS) just announced the winners of the 54th Annual Regional Art Exhibition. I'm pleased to share that "Binary Breakout" received 3rd Place in the Collage/Mixed Media category.
"Binary Breakout" is part of the larger narrative of the Recollections Series which explores memories. This painting considers how each of us at times wants to break away from the ordinary and find the extraordinary in life. It then captures one of those high-point experiences, a joyful celebration in time that becomes an enduring memory. The bold red and sunshine yellow celebrate life almost like fireworks exploding across the canvas.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the presentation at the Eisemann Center was cancelled and the exhibition went virtual. All artwork can be seen online in the RCAS exhibition gallery.

Supporting Healthcare Workers During COVID-19
As I consider the mounting health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided I can do something to support our healthcare workers: I will donate 75% of original art sales proceeds to Direct Relief through May 31st. Direct Relief is an amazing charity that’s on the front lines of this virus battle. (Yes, I personally donate to them!)
How it works: Within 5 business days of your purchase (with a 15% off coupon), I will donate 75% of the proceeds to Direct Relief in your honor — this means you’ll get a confirmation directly from the charity that the donation has been made. This is easy — you will #findart2love AND be giving 75% of your purchase to a charity helping healthcare workers battle COVID-19.
For more information, see the COVID-19 Purchase-Donation page and the Donation FAQ.
