Ever Bought an Art Print? Now...the Time?

  Nice time to consider...an original lighthouse print ?  " Portland Head Light " from my  Paint Prints Gallery Dear Friends Old and New, A storm is making its way up the east coast of the United States. More than two feet of snow is predicted to fall, this weekend. Winter settling in, now. Woodstove and furnace work full-time, most days. Today is cold and clear. Perhaps all this creates a good time to order a new print before the storm hits. How about a print from a series of lighthouses I completed some years ago? Here is an example, " Portland Head Light ." What is unusual about this image and series is that each painting is completed in acrylic paint at a small scale, 7" x 5" on a wooden shingle. A very nice visual effect, if I don't say so myself. This series is 'undiscovered,' meaning, I have never really promoted it or called any attention to it. But that is changing, now.

Maybe listening to our President try to explain anything is just too taxing (no pun, intended), bewildering, even infuriating. Maybe our political class has over decades worn us out. Maybe just the notion of " progress " requires a deep breath such as this, once in awhile to find an

A New Year is Upon Us...a Time of Grace?   " Amazing Grace " from Americana Posters Gallery Dear Friends Old and New, The season of Epiphany , now? Yes it is!

Or, "Something?" Does it mark a profound change in human history? How do you think about it? Typically, I confess-- I have never much thought about it. But these days, I find I do.  "The 'Good Almost Anytime' print--prints as gifts:   Consider very unusual gifts...Beach Posters...as a screen-printed gifts, this year.   See them, in my  Beach Poster Gallery :  New Jersey ,  Long Island ,  Florida ,  Chesapeake Bay , and  California .
