Howdy Everybody! Welcome to the holiday season!  .  .  . yippee?

So, here's a little something new!

     After having so much fun with the fruits, I decided to visit some veggies! I thought it would be fun to do the three peppers together, and set up the composition, and I'd also decided to go for the white limbo background for these. While painting the piece, I found myself itching to go somewhere new with it. It was during this process that I came to identify the aspect of painting that seems to appeal to me the most for now. Illusion! I love creating effects with paint and brush that give the illusion of depth, and light, and texture. My son suggested that I put three actual piles of paint on the painting, but I explained that part of what I enjoy is painting a 2-dimensional image to appear 3-dimensional. I must say  .  .  . this was fun  .  .  . I might be on to something, here. :-)

     Let me know whatcha think!

Just for "noozleddar" subscribers! I am offering unmounted mini-giclee's of the following pieces for only $49!!!

          "soap" and "flash-faucet" (in any of the five standard colors)
               rose
               blue
               green
               lavendar
               black & white
               custom colors are available for an additional $20.
          
"fruit" (any of the five)
               green apple
               red apple
               strawberries
               peach
               pear

          These can be mounted on stretcher bars ranging from 8"x8" to 10"x10". At the shows, I generally have them on double thick (gallery wrap style) 9"x9" frames. They will include finished border colors, such that you can choose to frame them, or hang them as is (gallery wrapped). These are signed and varnished (but not numbered/ltd. edition), and shipped to you ready for stretching. I will even cover shipping to anywhere in the continental U.S. (otherwise contact me for options).

 

     Earlier this year, I began offering my matted prints as well as a limited selection of giclee on canvas reproductions on Ebay as a way to reach a new audience. These sell for quite a discounted price, so don't forget to check out my auctions there, and pick up some Christmas gifts! Just do a search for " restevensart ". If you don't find what you're looking for, just ask me about it.

     Otherwise, I've been quite busy gleefully pushing dirt around on my lot, and learning to be a tractor mechanic much more quickly than I'd hoped.

     Thanks bunches for reading! Talk to y'all soon!
