Back to semi-normal

Wow it seems like ages since I’ve sat down and done a post that wasn’t “a quick note.”

And of course it’s only typical that WordPress is acting REALLY slow today.

Well, the shows are done for now, I have another one coming up on December 6th in Brookville, AB from 10am -4pm and possibly another one come the end of January.

If you’re interesting in stopping in let me know and I can get directions for you.

I haven’t decided if I’ll be going to the January/February one yet though.

We’ll see.

But things are becoming progressively interesting.

Like I commented on my new page the striped bangles I did up are now being carried at Haven Skateboards & Snowboards shop locally here in Fort Saskatchewan.

So that’s cool.

I’m also working on a couple of commissions.

One commission is a logo for a bakery

and the other

is for a lady who liked my “Life Simplified” series and is getting a piece done in the “Hold Me” style.

Both of which I hope to have finished by the end of the month if not sooner.

I still have room on my schedule if anyone is interested in getting some commission work done.

Art makes a great Christmas present! *hint, hint* 😉

Or yanno those bookmarks are great little stocking stuffers.

LOL One of the joys of being a “starving Artist” is that you have to promote yourself to keep going…so buy buy buy 🙂 hehe

Hmm, I can’t really think of anything else at the moment so I suppose I should get back to painting and cooking supper.

Cheers!

Acrylic Bookmarks

Well I’ve finished one of the bookmarks that I’ll have available for sale at the upcoming November trade show.

Check it out.

Portable art for on the go people!
The perfect companion to any book.
Each bookmark is hand painted using acrylic paint on acid and ligning free card stock.
It has been given a clear protective coat making it water resistant.
They measures 6″x2″ and feature a small eyelet with a co-coordinating ribbon that has been fray stopped.
The back side is plain black with a signed label.
No two are alike! 🙂

I’ll be selling them for $4.00 each.

If you’re interested in purchasing one or would like a particular color combination email me at themilkeway(at)gmail.com

Cheers!

Persistence-Three Fold Prayer series

October 13, 2008 by Amanda, posted in Abstract, acrylic, Art, Artist, canada, commission, creative, events, female artist, For Sale, God/Religion, Paintings, photos, Series

A day late but as promised.

Here is #1 “Persistence” of a 3 part series on prayer. Each piece is 11″ x 15″.

The series is based on the 3 key aspects of prayer as mentioned in Luke chapter 11.

I’ll try to do post the rest of the series over the next few days.

I’m also working on some blank greeting cards with my artwork as the cover as well as some unique hand painted bookmarks. I’ll post some examples as I get them finished. I’m also hoping to update with a list of prices and a gallery highlighted the various items for sale and of course, they’ll all be available to purchase at the upcoming trade show.

Stay tuned!

Cheers,

Amanda

Happened, Going to Happen, Happening

Lots seems to be happening around here even though I sometimes fail to realize it.

Here’s a look at what’s happened, going to happen and happening.

Happened-My art showcase at Edmonton Jam Space finished Oct 4th so I picked up my paintings from Jonny on the weekend. Things have picked up for him too so he hasn’t had a chance to set up the next artist for display. Those walls are going to look some bare. He offered to have me back sometime so I may set something up for the future. I did however leave him with a “Commission Flier” to stick up in case anyone wants their old guitar made over into art.

Going to Happen– Nov 15th, 2008: Shop in the Fort Trade show (I’ve already mentioned this one)

*New*-I have a gallery showing booked at the Dow Centennial Center’s Gallery for the whole month of February 2010. Sure it’s a ways off but hey it gives me LOTS of time to create new pieces and have old ones framed. Either way exciting.

Happening-I currently have 2 abstract paintings, 2 new watercolor series, commissions, and some abstract recycled jewelry on the go. Fun Stuff:

One of the abstract paintings you’ve already had a glimpse at and the other one I’m keeping until it’s finished.

I will give you a peek at one of the new watercolor series I’m working on.

It’s a three piece series titled: “Three Fold Prayer” and will be done in the same style as all my other watercolor pieces such as “Life Simplified”.

Here are the outline drawings and I’ll be adding the watercolor today with the hopes of starting the text on at least one of the pieces. Each piece is 9” x 12” on 195gms weight cotton acid free watercolor paper.
