'Sheep May Safely Graze' 21" x 11" (53cm x 28 cm)
We think we have found 'our' cottage. Second viewing is tomorrow. We dare not let ourselves love it too much (though I fear we already do) as it is right at the top of our not-yet-confirmed mortgage and my artistic low income may be a sticking point with the Powers that Be.
So I am painting properly again, to try to earn a few pennies towards some bricks and mortar. I have found somewhere which can scan my large artworks. I have found an affordable (genuine) giclee prints - a Fine Art Trade Guild Accredited Printer, so I will soon be able to offer top quality prints at good prices - for instance, a large A2 sized painting printed on mould made Hahnemuhle paper for around 30 - 35 UK pounds at the stated size plus postage and packing.
The archival UV resistant inks should last for 100 plus years and every large print will come with a certificate of authenticity. So for everyone who has emailed or commented that they would like a copy of the 'White Hare Hill' artwork - watch this space!
I am so anxious for you both!
ReplyDeleteI'll be sending all of the positive energy I can muster.

.Do hope it all goes well for you. The prints sound interesting - looking forward to seeing more paintings.
ReplyDeleteGretel, I have a very strong feeling that the cottage will soon be your home. A very strong feeling!
ReplyDeleteHaving prints made from your beautiful watercolor landscapes is a fine idea. It will allow even more folks to share a rather special part of the world and a very special talent.
The luminous sky and greens of the grazing sheep pictures encourage very long and enjoyable gazing. xo
I do hope you get your peaceful cottage. The mixture of anxiety and anticipation upon waiting for an answer is nerve wracking.
ReplyDeleteThe colors in "Sheep May safely Graze" are just marvelous! I wish you hundreds of sales. May the keys to the cottage be yours.
Fingers, toes and eyes are still firmly crossed for your cottage purchase!!
ReplyDeleteI shall be (hopefully) at the front of the queue for a print!!
How exciting - fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteI hope the sheep will be available as a print - just wonderful!
Everything crossable is crossed - good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh, so sorry to read about Mouse. We love our cats so much - I can just imagine how you feel.
ReplyDeleteMy fingers are also crossed for your house.
I'm so glad you're back to painting again as I love your work soooo much. When I lost my horse a few years ago, it was painting that saved my sanity.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping everything crossed for you with the house and hoping that you don't get too stressed.
Take care.xxx
Love that painting.
