Art Prints in Perilous Times
Winding down, or winding up?
"Psalms 118:24" from my Faith Prints gallery
Dear Friends Old and New,
Tomorrow, the President of Ukraine addresses the United States Congress. Frankly, I think I could write his speech. He has become, overnight, a global hero, a symbol of courage in the face of tyranny. We all support him, do we not? And yet, will we 'close the skies?' Will we 'send jets?' When the vastly larger, heavily armed Russian army descends on Ukraine, are we to sit around in front of our TVs cowering to the threats of a bully, zealot, madman, or some combination of all three, while the country and its history, its people get ground into dust? Is this what we're expected to do? Who is to know. I for one, don't think this circumstance will go down like this. We live in 'interesting times,' as our buddies, the Chinese have long pointed out. I would call these straight-up, perilous times. Who knows what the next 24 hours or two weeks, or two months will hold. The world seems a tinder-box. Forces realign. The old order dies. The new one is not yet born. But 'locked and loaded,' is in the air, is it not? Here are some images I think to be suitable in perilous times as we move through Lent toward Holy Week and then, Easter.

This Spring, here's a gift idea: The 'Good Almost Anytime' print--screenprints as gifts: Consider very unusual poster prints...Beach Posters, I call them. See them in my Beach Poster Gallery: New Jersey, Long Island, Florida, Chesapeake Bay, and California. Each poster includes actual sand gathered by yours truly from the beaches of that particular locality, then adhered to the poster, itself; a distinctive poster and excellent gift idea at any time of year. I will sign your print before shipping. Note, the Rhode Island Beach Poster early on sold thru two printings and is regrettably, no longer available. I can assure you, your chosen recipient will like a very unusual Beach Poster Print.

If, when purchasing a print, custom-ordering your matte and frame is important to you, selections from any of my galleries will encourage you to experiment with various styles so you are very happy when the work arrives at your door. Check out selections from my Photo Gallery, or perhaps Painting Gallery. As you will see--when customizing, pick a gloss paper or matte, perhaps a metal (Aluminum) or acrylic-- even a canvas wrap. Then choose a preferred size. Sizes vary with the selection and depend on the quality of digital image resolution. Add a matte and frame of your liking; many to choose from. Include a means of framing and hanging so your work will arrive snappy and buttoned-up, ready to hang. Take advantage of the special framing features on this website. These features add excitement and joy to the print-buying experience.
Art prints arrive excellently packaged, in buttoned-up condition, ready to hang. Money back guarantee...if not completely satisfied. Stick with it. Experiment...see what is possible. Your time will be worth it. If you are lucky, you will receive your print in week or ten days-- notwithstanding (still present) Covid-related production and shipping bottlenecks. Why not augur in Spring 2022 with a new art print?
By the way...have you ever purchased an art print? As the month of March races by, Daylight Savings Time has arrived, Spring is upon us-- isn't it time now to give it a try?
Americana posters, how to brand your poster campaign: If, in the spirit of the times, you like the idea of a patriotic poster, one that attempts to capture something critical about the essence of our Democratic Republic--and if you own a small business, large business, or captain a non-profit organization-- and would like to make branded posters available to your staff, employees and customers, I would be pleased to add your organization's logo discretely in the lower right hand corner...when you place your order. Contact me to discuss. An excellent way to 'get the word out.' My own view is this-- since our Founding precepts, Fathers, documents and distinguishing national myths are under attack in many dim-witted sectors of society, I will continue to promote these images in the weeks ahead. Consider purchasing yours, now. Here is a sample:
Star-Spangled Banner," most popular in this series, from Americana Posters Gallery.Here are other categories, themes, mediums...prints of which you may find helpful, especially as the season of gift-giving approaches: Painting prints, faith, city skylines, beachposters, photos, Instagrams, drawings, limited editions and fine art originals; Take a look!
As we approach Spring, the creation of many new oil-crayon sketches and the rediscovery of my LightHouse Series paintings on wooden shingles continue to resonate with viewers, fans and patrons.

We pray for Ukrainians (#GloryToUkraine), most especially; for our own leaders, our Congress, for the leaders of the EU, and most importantly for our fellow citizens, that we might be able to make a contribution to what is good even as we persevere, each day. In days steeped in treachery, we pray for Peace.
