"Spiderwick Adventures" 3 sizes of giclee prints available

This is a revision of pricing.   When talking to my photographer/printer the other week, I either misheard or he misquoted the price.    Anyway the prices are less than I originally quoted.

"Spiderwick Adventures"  Giclee prints are available, here are the sizes:    

(11"x14" -  $60),  (16"x20" -  $90), (original size, 22.5"x30" -  $150). 

I did this drawing for and invitational show at the Carnegie Center, New Albany Indiana in January 2008.   The family in the picture live down the street from me and the dog is my Shih Tzu, Whirly Girl.    When the family came over to pose Whirly Girl jumped right up and got comfortable.  She loved it!   The original drawing was accepted in the Water Tower Regional Art Show and I won a Merit Award for it today at the opening.   The original charcoal drawing is 22.5"x30" and is available for $3600.

"Bull Terrier" 12"x 12" oil on museum wrap stretch canvas

Available for $275, contact me.

This is an oil painting on a museum wrapped stretched canvas and is painted on the sides as well.  Ready for hanging.    I know these dogs have a bad rap but I find them friendly and clownish.   Very curious, just like other terriers.   I wouldn't want to provoke one.   While working on this painting the sheen of the wet paint was getting in the way of see the color.   I couldn't see if it was white or blending with the grey too much.   When this happens, and it often does when working wet into wet, I get out a soft, flat sable brush and lightly, oh so very lightly like a feather, smooth out the brush strokes.   This takes away the raised up lines that the brush makes so that the light hits the canvas more evenly.  I can see then what color I really have.   I don't like to do this much because I like seeing the paint stroke, but today I was trying to paint it as my daily and needed to get it done.   So here it is.
