I’m not the least bit comfortable with marketing talk and sales pitches, but I am trying to do what I can to make it easy for my collectors, fans, friends and family members to consider a gift of art for that special someone on your holiday shopping list.  For not much more than the cost of a book and for less than a fancy dinner out, you could give someone the gift of an original and inspired painting — a gift that they can enjoy for a lifetime (how am I doing with that marketing thing? ).

To make it quick and easy for you to buy my small paintings, I started a new simplified blog expressly for selling my small art; no muss, no fuss — just small paintings at small prices, with easy Paypal “add to cart” buttons.  It’s called “Small Wonders” and is located here: Small Wonders.

Of course, anything on this website that has not already sold is also for sale; some are listed in my Etsy shop (and all my available 6″x6″ and 5″x7″ paintings are on the Small Wonders blog), but you can always feel free to contact me via email or phone if you are interested in any of my available paintings (or even a limited edition print of a painting).  But don’t wait too long; I just sold three more paintings today!

Perhaps even better news for my followers, fans, and collectors (or would-be collectors) is that in response to the challenges of this recession, I have significantly reduced the prices on all of my paintings — some as much as 33% – 40% less than before.  These are down-to-the-bone prices for me, and chances are they will never be lower!

The Fine Print:

Pricing:

• All paintings currently listed on the Small Wonders website sell for $50.00 each plus shipping (Texas residents add 8.25% sales tax). *Amendment (8-1-2010): I’ve added more sizes of paintings, plus framed paintings, to the Small Wonders blog; the price range  now ranges from $50 – $300 for all paintings on the blog.
• My larger paintings, listed on this website on Etsy are currently available for between $100.00 – $600.00.  That’s only $600.00 each for beautiful (IMHO; YMMV) 3 foot x 3 foot paintings!!!

Payment:

• Paypal: Payment for any item can be made via Paypal, which does not require you to have a Paypal account, is free for the buyer to use, allows you to use your Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express card, or even a bank account if you do have a Paypal account.
• Other: You may also pay by cash or money order, or if I know you, by personal check.
• Layaway: You may ask me to hold something for you in Lay-away, and make payments in installments, for no extra charge.  I will ship you the artwork after the final payment.

Shipping:

• Shipping is via USPS Priority Mail, which takes about 1 work day for handling and 2-3 days for shipping.
• Priority Mailing in time for Christmas needs to happen within about the next two weeks.
• All shipped artwork is insured, includes Delivery Confirmation™ and may allow for online tracking.
• Multiple purchases to the same address will be packaged together, if possible, to reduce overall shipping costs.
• You can request Express shipping at a higher cost, of course.

Colors:

• Most, if not all, of my paintings look far better in person than online.  The texture of the works does not translate well on screen, nor does the gorgeous surface of encaustic paintings.
• I strive to accurately reflect each painting’s true colors online, but some discrepencies may exist due to variances in monitor settings and monitor quality, and inherent difficulties that arise from translating pigment colors into the RGB colors of light.
