Grids

I like to hang my smaller paintings in grids. 

Six 8" x 10" oil paintings

Nine 5" x 7" oil on wood panel painitngs

Six 6" x 6" oil paintings on canvas

It's hip to be SQUARE!

Square credit card reader

I recently started using the Square credit card reader for art sales in my studio.  It is so quick and easy to use.  The only trick is being fast with the swipe!  https://squareup.com/   It's a great deal for artists - no fee for the credit card reader that fits into the headphone jack on your iphone  ipad or android - low transaction fee - no commitments - direct deposit to bank account! 

Artist of the Month

Did you know that I am the artist of the month at J. Hettinger Interiors in Danville, CA? http://www.jhettinger.com
Two of my paintings are featured in the front of the showroom.

"Kerela Journey", oil on canvas, 48" x 48" was inspired by my time spent as an Artist-In-Residence in Kerela, India.  "Gihon Vision", oil on canvas, 48" x 48" was inspired by my time spent at the
Vermont Studio Center.  I've been an artist in residence at the Vermont studio center twice.  Both times were pretty amazing.   Nothing is better than complete focus on painting with uninterrupted studio time and someone preparing all your meals!
