Hi!
Before I get into the prints, I thought I'd share how Shelley and
Greg's Saturday Salon went. In short, tremendously well!
What a gathering of creatives! Oh my.
I had never heard Martine MacDonald's personal background before. It
was both heart-rending and heart-warming. What a courageous woman!
...and a REALLY hard act to follow.
Most of the guests were artists who have attended the Golden Apple Art
Residency in Maine. So these were mostly career artists.
They listened intently, laughed at my jokes, and asked some pretty
thought-provoking questions. They were the audience from Heaven!
A few tender souls teared up when I shared the story of how my siblings
and I felt very loved over Mama's home-canned vegetable soup and fresh
homemade bread after school on blustery winter days.
Something else exciting happened. I will tell you about that another
time because it deserves its own space.
Seven Giclee' Prints
Today, I am excited to share that I ordered a very small batch of 8"x8"
Giclee' prints of "Comfort Zone" (4) and "Follow The Light." (3).

I wasn't sure what to call this first set, so I consulted CHRISTI'S of
world fame, since they are the undeniable experts in art preservation.
Evidently, what I hold in my white-gloved hands are called Artist
Proofs.
According to Christie's, artist proofs can be as valuable as signed and
numbered limited editions, and sometimes more, depending on the artist.
Now, since my works are most definitely not so well known as Albrecht
Durer's "Young Hare," circa 1502, I will save the Limited Edition thing
for some time in the future. Someday my friend!!
I decided long ago that if I ever offered prints, I wanted them to be
of high quality. I've tested several print companies and have always
felt I could do better.
When these arrived late last night, I realized I had found what I was
looking for. The fine art photographic paper quality is nothing short
of luxurious! it's velvety buttery smooth and no glare.
They are actually much closer in color to the originals than they
appear here on my table this morning at 5:30am, and the resolution is
spot on!
I will sign them the on back of the archival mounting board, which I
will attach this afternoon and they'll be ready to deliver or ship
right away.
Just to be clear...
These are collectable signed and numbered Artist Proofs.
There are only these few. They will not be offered on my website or
social media, only to you and other Studio News subscribers. Any not
sold will be kept against the day when my work is more well-known.
Call me crazy, but I am offering them for $32 each, which covers only
my materials and handling and gives me a tiny bit extra to purchase
prints of other favorite artworks.
This is NOT a Black Friday thing. I usually stay home until that
madness is over.
This IS, however, a gratitude thing.
What a wonderful gift this would make for someone you love.
Would you like me to hold one for you?
Reply with 'Yes, I want "Comfort Zone" or "Yes, I want "Follow The
Light" and I will send you a link to pay or we can arrange payment by
check or cash. Tax and shipping (or local delivery) are included.
As always, take a moment and listen for birdsong,
Jan
