Ides of March

The Ides of March is here.....snow was melting, but more came to replace it.....Madness!

The Roman calendar probably was referring to the Ides of a month as the night of the full moon (and we all know what happens during a full moon!)....Madness!

Julius Caesar was killed in a theatre by a group of senators (supposedly more than 60) led by Marcus Brutus.....Madness!

Friday Fun Fact - Painting Safety

A Material Safety Data Sheet, or MSDS as it is commonly known, is a document that contains information intended to describe product hazards, how to use our products safely, what to do if accidents should occur, how to recognize symptoms of overexposure, and what to do if such incidents occur.

I work with acrylic paints, and even though they are water-based products and most are non-toxic, it is still a good idea to find the MSDS sheet for your brand(s) of paint and have a look....it would be more important to know this information with oil paints and solvents.

I also like to have an eye-wash station nearby as you can occasionally get paint in your eye....it won't hurt but it is best to wash it out as quickly as possible. I have had to stick my head under the kitchen sink and wash my eye out....the eye-wash station is definitely easier...

Safety should be first in all aspects of our lives....including painting!

Keeping Watch - Puffin

You only have one week left to purchase the original Keeping Watch (Puffin) painting....

It ON SALE for 66% OFF Regular Price selling for ONLY $50.00!!!!!

It is painted on a 12" x 12" Gallery Canvas (you don't have to frame it).

I am also only charging $15.00 shipping anywhere! Of course, if you live in the St. John's NL area, delivery is free! Free shipping may also be available for Central NL as well....

This is a great way to get a piece of original artwork for a fraction of the cost.....

Get it before it is gone!

Friday Fun Facts - Straight Lines

You can use painter's tape to create a straight line. Sometimes the paint will bleed underneath the edge of the tape, so have damp q-tip ready for touch ups and to remove the excess paint while it is still wet.

Middle Cove - Part 3 - Finished!

I have completed the Middle Cove painting....now to name it! Suggestions are welcome.

I'll be dropping it off for framing and printing in the next day or so....Giclee prints will be available in approximately 2 weeks!!! I'm not sure what sizes I'm going to print this one in, so prices can't be determined until I figure out sizes.....

If you may remember, last year I had a contest of sorts for people to submit their photos and an independent judge (Don Short) picked the winning photo! Now, I had picked my top 3 in order and they matched his exactly (I told him this after he picked). Great minds think alike! Or perhaps truth be told, I have learnt a lot from Don over the years and this is the reason we picked the same photo. I may paint numbers 2 and 3 as well sometime in the future..stay tuned....

So here it is, Middle Cove finished and yet unnamed....Suggestions are welcome.
