About the Artist

I am an artist living just oustide of Philadelphia. I studied painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. I’m also the author of the popular arts blog, Lines and Colors.

Inspired by “painting a day” pioneering painter/bloggers like Duane Keiser and Julian Merrow-Smith, I have set myself the more modest objective of painting two small paintings each week, posting them to this blog, and placing them on auction.

About the Paintings

These are small original paintings in oil on canvas mounted to archival panels (“Raymar Panels”) or on gessoed hardboard (“Gessoboard”); most are 6 x 8” (15.2 x 20.3cm) or 5 x 7” (12.7 x 17.8cm).

h4>At auction

I will post images of paintings as they are offered at auction on eBay. 5x7” paintings will have starting bids of $100. 6x8” paintings will have starting bids of $125.

Payment

Payment for eBay auctions is by PayPal, but no PayPal account is necessary; they simply act as the credit card processor.

Shipping

Allow at least 4 weeks for new paintings to dry and be given a light coat of varnish before shipping.
Paintings will be securely boxed for shipping and shipping charges of $8 will be added to the final auction price for shipping in the US and $21 USD for international shipping.

Color

Please note the color of images on a computer screen can vary depending on the monitor and monitor settings. The color of the painting on your screen may appear different from the original.

Other paintings

Paintings not auctioned are listed in the Available Works section for set prices, starting at $200. You can also view an Archive of all previously posted works.

Varnishing

The paintings will be given a light coating of retouch varnish before shipping. This will offer some protection and still allow them to continue to dry. Paintings that have had at least 8-10 months to dry can be given a final varnish, if desired. Contact me for information.

Framing

The paintings are unframed.

6x8” and 5x7” are fairly standard frame sizes in the U.S. and frames can be ordered from many online sources if you can’t find what you want locally. I recommend a “plein air” style of frame for these small works. Here is one supplier that I like, King of Frames. Small paintings like these can also be displayed effectively by simply setting them on a small display easel.
