Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!

As a thank you for a wonderful year, I'm offering a 1-day special:

Buy 1 print, get 1 print FREE...buy 2 prints, get 2 free! For each print you purchase, you get one free. Please put choices in notes to seller. Only those who mention their free print choices in notes to seller / contact me after will receive them. Expires at midnight on December 25th. Purchases will also be entered in the draw for a FREE original painting!

You can shop at: jellybeans.etsy.com

Want a FREE painting?

Until January 8th, 2010 - all orders made will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a free custom painting!!

Just make a purchase from my Etsy store :)

This painting could be a family tree, a family forest...or any idea you would like for a beautiful, colorful forest-like piece.

If you haven't been able to justify purchasing a painting, now you're chance to win one! All orders qualify, no matter how large or small your order!

Custom paintings are 9 x 12". I will work with the winner to create an individual piece just for them! No prints will be made of the painting, so it is a truly unique piece for your home :o)

The Big Move!

Orders made from December 14th - January 6th will be shipped on January 8th
or sooner :o)

My shop will be semi-closed after this weekend. I will still be accepting orders / answering e-mails and convos; as well as accepting new custom painting orders for the new year (to be started in January). I've never been a fan of 'halting' productions...but I have no choice.

Not only is it holiday time (gonna go rock around some Christmas tress hopefully!)...But I'm also doing a move to Orillia, Ontario - it's about 3 - 3.5 hours away from where I am now. I don't officially move until the 18th. But to prevent stress and order mix ups, I felt it was better this way. Then I can make sure all orders are out properly before I pack up all my supplies. And there's less panic with all the packing and final exam studying that I also have to do during that time.

I anticipate that orders placed during that time will be out way before the 8th of January...and that my store will actually be fully functioning before then as well. But to be on the safe side, and not disappoint I thought I'd give myself a few more days of 'grace' lol. But I really am hoping I'm back to normal set up by the 4th at the latest! :)

I will post again on the 14th or 15th with a special dealie / contest to those purchasing during that time :)

Cityscape

The cityscape painting for my older brother is finally complete - a few years later.


I ended up doing the bottom "water" part with a painting knife. It was my first real experience painting with a knife, and let me tell you: it's tricky business. But it was well worth it in the end :)
