I’m SO excited about this sale — the prices on my art prints and canvas prints are mad! And all in perfect time for you to get outrageously awesome, quality gifts for those loved ones at Christmas without them ever knowing that your wallet was never made to suffer!

All you have to do is use the code ‘HOLIDAYCOUNT’ at the checkout.

For example: Take a look to your right — my ‘Cat’s Eyes’ Poster is going for a ridiculous $6.00 (normal price $15.00 — click on the picture to take you to the store)!

And there’s so many more amazing deals (zebra’s, landscapes, abstracts, flowers, inspirational posters — all less 60%) but first, I want to introduce you to something new…

Art Nouveau and You’re the First to Know!

I have also, finally (this idea has been kicking around the grey matter for ages now), materialized a new project and it’s just in time to coincide with this major price slash. It’s my new store exclusively showcasing my poppy art called ‘The Poppy Block’. This store will be purely for the poppy connoisseur and all prints are standardized to 12″ x 12″ x 1.5″ on Wrap Canvas.

Usually these designs retail at an already inexpensive $99.90 but until Thursday (21/11/2013) they are going for an incredible $39.96!

I only have 4 designs at the moment but it is a work in progress. Here are the available canvas prints so far (click on the picture to take you directly to the store):

So that’s the extent of my Poppy Block boutique but now come take a look at some examples of other unbelievable savings (click on the pictures to take you to the store):

‘A New Vision’ Poster (24″ x 20″) was $31.05 now only $12.45! More amazing deals will follow…just keep that index finger scrolling:

Can Using Yellow in Art Enhance Your Mood?

Lemon Twist

I’m going to start bringing out some art blogs with colour themes. I know I’ve done this in the past but this time I’m going to have a twist.

The catch with this is looking at art from a zesty new perspective with regard to colour and emotion.

A Spiritually Colourful Palette

As most of you probably know, different colours have different significant meanings. Not only are they used as metaphors — i.e. I’m feeling blue or he was green with envy — but we can also glean meaning from colours with respect to our auric system.

For more about aura’s, please visit this extremely useful site: reiki-for-holistic-health.com

They Call me Mellow Yellow

Here is an extract from the above-mentioned site on the meaning for yellow:

YELLOW AURA COLOR MEANING: Relates to the spleen and life energy. It is the color of awakening, inspiration, intelligence and action shared, creative, playful, optimistic, easy-going.

Light or pale yellow: Emerging psychic and spiritual awareness; optimism and hopefulness; positive excitement about new ideas.

Bright lemon-yellow: Struggling to maintain power and control in a personal or business relationship; fear of losing control, prestige, respect, and/or power.

Clear gold metallic, shiny and bright: Spiritual energy and power activated and awakened; an inspired person.

Very interesting. Now with that in mind, I’ve scrubbed through some of my art with a predominantly yellow theme. Let’s take a fresh new look with those eyes that bare a greater insight now:

Did any of these paintings make you feel any of the emotions from the above definitions for yellow? Or did it leave you cold? Do you believe that colours can evoke certain feelings?

Please feel free to share your experiences and insights.

My Best Selling Art as Prints and Posters

What the Public Want

I’ve strung together some of my best selling art prints (taken from online sales) over the years.

I thought it was quite interesting to see what was popular in my collection and perhaps, you the viewer, will get a kick out of seeing what people are buying to beautify their spaces.

Heck, maybe one of them will even tickle your fancy!

To visit the print store — where you can buy not only framed and mounted prints of all the art below but an array of other products from canvas prints to skirts (select ‘Available Products’) — just click on the pictures below.

Let’s Get Started…

Number 1 is ‘Raw’ (painted to the music of Jeff Buckley) and is part of my Rock Art Series (read more about that HERE). At the moment, this painting is hanging above our bed and I’m in love with it.

No. 1 ~ Raw (Rock Art Series – Jeff Buckley)

Number 2 was also somewhat of a surprise as it has turned out to be not only a best-selling print but also the most viewed item on my RedBubble portfolio, clocking up a whopping 15 254 views as of December 2015.

No. 2 ~ Tree Silhouette

The next one was inspired by the Lord of the Rings trilogy and is called ‘My Precious’.

No. 3 ~ My Precious

My Tree of Life Series watercolour called, ‘Dusk’, is in at no. 4. It’s currently clocked up more than 14 000 views.

No.4 ~ The Tree of Life Series – ‘Dusk’

In at no. 5 is ‘Zebra’ — a macro painting of a zebra’s face. I just happened to sell a poster of this one today!

No.5 ~ Zebra

And here is Three Pink Poppies. I must admit that this is one of my favourites as well. Just because I loooooove poppies so much! 🙂

No. 6 ~ Three Pink Poppies

Number 7 on the list is my reproduction of Starry Night. Vincent Van Gogh is my all-time favourite artist and I wanted to re-create this work. This does come as a surprise for me as one would think that if you were going to buy a print of this, you would buy the original as a print.

However, I am flattered but have to give all recognition to the original artist for the beautiful rendition of the night sky. The original was never sold as my husband did not want to part with it, so I gave it to him and it is in our bedroom.

No.7 ~ Reproduction of Starry Night

This painting was the first I did in my Rock Art Series and it was painted to one of my favourite bands, Radiohead. This is now hanging in my hubby’s new music studio.

No. 8 ~ Escapism (Rock Art Series — Radiohead)

And, again, another one from my Rock Art Series makes it into the top selling prints — ‘Metamorphic Dilatation’ (The Beatles). This one is quite funky, vibrant and colourful and also hangs in the music studio.

No. 9 ~ Metamorphic Dilatation (Rock Art Series — The Beatles)

The next one has a similar theme to the previous painting but was a mural I did on the wall of my husbands music studio in our previous house. Alas, we had to leave it behind but at least I have the photo!

No. 10 ~ Musical Mural

I would love to know which of these stands out the most for you?

Thanks for looking!
