I’ve been asked to be a member of the Sunland Art Gallery @ the Placita Santa Fe, Crossroads and Mesa in West El Paso. (like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sunlandartgallery2 ) This means that I will have a fixed public place to display and sell my original work, as well as prints and cards. If you don’t know the gallery, it’s in a destination shopping experience of boutiques: antiques, yarn, jewelry and more, with a fabulous restaurant and tea shop, all in vintage adobe buildings on what used to be the highway to California, before the freeway. Really a charming place to spend an afternoon browsing and gnoshing.
Here are some pictures of new prints of some popular work that I will have available. They are mounted on a black wood block and can be set up on a table or hung on a wall. I will also have traditional framed prints and cards in two sizes. The paintbrush in each photo is to give you an idea of the 5″ x 7″ size. A nice art print to brighten up part of your home!
how exciting! I have been thinking of joining a gallery. Besides the monthly cost, the idea of printing up some of my paintings is what keeps me faltering. Will you be letting us know how you do or your experience with this? I am in particular interested.

I’m just feeling my way as I go, in doing this. I used vistaprint to print cards and then framed some of them, since they were 5 x 7. I like the notecards that walgreens prints because they are matte finish inside where you would write, so I tried those this time. Now I’m looking at mat/bag/backer from https://www.discountmatcutting.com/standard-show-kit since they’ll be prints, they don’t have to have conservation mat materials. that’s as much as I can suggest now! Good luck Margaret!

Thanks Diane. Yesterday’s art show was fun. I sold the two flower pieces and got to meet and talk to the new owners and that was great. It was a very nice show with lovely pieces all around.

Karen, I’m so jealous you’re escaping the heat… I’d love to see you if you get a chance but I’ll be there three times a month for the duration so we can always catch up later.
