Order Fine Art Giclee's in bulk for your early sign-up's

Notice here, the first of "Rainbow Splash Evolving" - you'll see the next one in a few days.

We're humming along now in getting plans under way for a high tech WordPress blog for www.SherylBrownArt.com . I see creating galleries of my paintings to be put up so it will be easier for you to see what is available. And we'll have a sign up box for a "Free Taste" and Updates when new art becomes available.

There will be options for you to propose your own ideas for pictures to be commissioned, or at least to put a bug in my ear about the color combo's you'd love, and examples of the style of painting you'd like. I won't guarantee to be able to read your mind, but I'm sure something interesting will come of it. If it's not exactly to your liking, you are under no obligation to buy it. It will all be part of the Great Adventure - or shall I say the Great Experiment!?

And for coaches and speakers, I will be creating a sales page where you can see how to order these Fine Art Giclee reproductions in bulk (to save you money) to use as bonuses for your early deciders in programs you are offering. You'd be surprised how many people are drooling over Sheryl Brown Art, and can't wait to have one of their own to hang on their office wall to inspire their writing or other creativity.

There's also a healing effect for many people. These are not just some cool works of art - they are each unique expressions of emotion, color and movement. See which ones move you the most. And don't forget, I absolutely LOVE feedback.

"Rainbow Splash"

Here's "Rainbow Splash," which I'd been promising for awhile now. (It was sitting and deciding whether it needed more paint on it or not! ;D)

You'll enjoy this selection from my preview collection, but it will look even better once I get Scott Moore of Bellevue Fine Art Reproduction to scan it professionally.

If this is one you'd like hanging on your wall as a Fine Art Giclee reproduction, just give me a call or email, and I can take your order. While I now have PayPal set up here on my blog, so far it only gives 10 options. So I chose the most popular 10 of the 20 already in my Giclee Library. Check out the drop down menu on the Add to Cart button! So cool!

More later!

PS Remember to call me at 425 652-1413 or email me at sunraysheryl@gmail.com with your selection or request.

PPS And remember that any of my paintings are fair game to be added to the Giclee Library. I also paint with any color combination you suggest, so keep those ideas flowing! Follow Sheryl Brown Art on Facebook and add your feedback, or make a comment here on my art blog. Thanks bunches!

New Order Button right here on Sheryl Brown Art blog!

Oh baby! I figured out how to configure some Paypal code to create a button to order art straight off my art blog here, hoorayyyy!! Slightly overdue, I'm sure....

Only thing is, I could only put 10 paintings for you to choose from in the drop down box, but no worries there. You can tell me over the phone or email the one you really want.

Actually, now that I think of it, there is supposed to be a comment box where you can write your two bits. You can still use the PayPal feature - just make a selection to match the format and price you want. And I'll be sure to confirm the art you want before I send it.

Anything you see on my website is fair game. Though I already have 20 selections already scanned and ready to go (and many of those in stock), it is fairly easy for me to take new ones down the road to my repro guy, Scott's place and get them professionally scanned. It would just add some days to the turn-around time.

So, order now, and let me know your experience. Hopefully, it will be smooth as silk! Be sure to leave some comments in the comment box, including your phone number so I can keep you apprised of the progress of your order.

While I do have a fair number of fine art giclee reproductions in stock at the moment, that will fluctuate from one week to the next, depending on the orders I receive. If I don't have it in stock, it probably won't take that long to order (unless Scott is on vacation!).

Come visit me on my Sheryl Brown Art page on Facebook! You don't have to be on Facebook to see it.

PS Oh, and I do take Visa/Mastercard debit/credit cards over the phone if you don't want to use PayPal.

"Sage Rabbit"

Here's an action shot for you - check out "Sage Rabbit" as she flies right off the canvas into the land of sage-ness, or shall I say.. sagacity?

"Chakra Mountain"

Here's "Chakra Mountain" which I painted especially by request of my friend, Lisa.

It would be awesome to hear/read what you think of this one. Right now I'm hanging it right next to "Chakra Shower" and "Chakra Dance" in my stair hallway. I just love looking at them as a set!

(PS I'm staring to run out of wall space!! I wonder what it would be like to live in an art gallery, hmmmmm.....)

Something New For Christmas

Just a quick little Christmas greeting to add to this new painting that came into being this afternoon. I've christened it "Earth and Sky."

Sending love and joy your way - may your time be filled with deep and meaningful connections!

PS - If this looks somewhat familiar, you're right! Let me know your thoughts....

What I did Sunday afternoon...

Here's what I did Sunday afternoon.. I painted all afternoon in peace and quiet!

While thinking about what would make a good name for this new painting, I realized I had used darkish colors, but now here was a sun-like orb. I wanted to leave it marigolden, but still be the moon.

As I pondered on what would make the moon look like a ball of fire, the phrase, "the Moon on Fire" came to me. I eventually finetuned the name to "Moonbeams on Fire."

This particular photo is taken with my cell phone camera after dark. The flash has exaggerated the shine of the paint and the brightness of the moonbeams, so this rendition is not exactly accurate, but it certainly is interesting! Later on I'll take one during daylight hours (which are more scarce these days...!) and post it here.

Deb's Delight - Taking in "Peaceful Pastels"

This testimonial from Deb Korte speaks for itself!

"Every time I saw Sheryl's "Peaceful Pastels" in her sample book I immediately let out a huge relaxing sigh. After it having the same effect over and over again, I knew I needed to purchase it. I now have it on the wall directly above my nightstand so when I walk towards my bed in the evening, I see it, and have a nice relaxing sigh as I pull back the covers. What a lovely way to color my dreams. Thank you Sheryl!!"

Thank you so much, Deb - makes me take a deep breath and feel peaceful just reading your words!

Rave Review from Betty Powell!

Hey y'all,

Got this most delightful email from Betty Powell, one of my recent art customers, and thought I'd share it here.

(She chose "Chakra Dance" on canvas.)

Here's what Betty had to say:

I am so happy with your beautiful painting that I feel
my chakras are dancing!

If you could see me, you would see the biggest smile
on my face. I am so glad we met and I got your beautiful
creation!

I think it was Thursday I finally made it to the post office,
and then I waited to open it until I was in just the right
time and space to fully enjoy it. Wow! What a gift you
have! I am delighted to know you and to have a piece of
your artwork in my home.

It's going to be hard to put it in my library/consultation
room that I don't use that often, since most of my work is
by phone and in my study where my laptop is. Hmmm....
your painting may be about to spark a whole makeover
of my study! So I will feel great hanging it in here.

Many thanks for all the ways you are setting my chakras
dancing!

And thank you, Betty, for sharing this cool story with us!

I've Got the Bubbleberry Blues...!

As promised, here is the next series of four 8" by 10" acrylic paintings on canvas. These were painted a few years ago, most on different days.

It's fun finding paintings from different corners of my "studio" to make up a set. (I always did find something comforting about things in sets!)

Top left "Mystic Mountains"

Top right "Berry Bubbles"

Bottom left "Wavy Turbulence"

Bottom right "It's All About Blueberries"

Let me know your favorites so I can determine which will be next to get professionally scanned to join the ranks of my giclee reproductions.

Can't wait to hear your comments!

Cherry Blossoms and Blue Mountains

Here are 4 more recent paintings that may soon be made available as fine art giclee reproductions. I would love to hear/read your feedback to assess the demand for each.

Clockwise from the top left, they are entitled as follows:

Top left "Cherry Blossom Northwest"
Top right "Cherry Blossom Two"
Bottom right "Purple Snow Melt"
Bottom left "Mountain Energy"

Interestingly enough, the bottom two paintings were not painted together. I actually hadn't been looking at or remembering "Purple Snow Melt" when I painted "Mountain Energy," and yet they really look like a pair!

Looking forward to your comments!

"Story Book Days" "Lunar Jazz" "Tropical Moonset" "Brenda's Treasure"

Here's a set of 4 of my recent paintings, taken non-professionally with our digital camera, so they've yet to visit Scott's place.

Though they are small, I hope you can see them well enough to make some comments.

Top left - "Story Book Days" (with Georgia telling me which color next!)
Top right - "Lunar Jazz"
Bottom right - "Tropical Moonset"
Bottom left - "Brenda's Treasure"

Great news, everyone!


My art gallery on Scott Moore's website is LIVE!


Simply click on this link to go straight to my collection of art available through Bellevue Fine Art Reproduction.

http://tinyurl.com/sherylatbellevuefineart

Here's the man behind the scenes on his computer making all the edits for a high quality product, and with his lovely wife, Tomoko (also involved in production), on the right.

I've gotten into the habit of calling Scott "my repro guy" for short, but let me tell you, it's worth saying the full name, Bellevue Fine Art Reproduction, because Scott is all about quality.

It will be a year this coming February when I first went to his studio, clutching "Cloud Dance" in hand to be my first painting reproduced, and not wanting to leave it behind. (Since then, 19 more followed suit, with more itching to join the ranks!)

That was when I had the rare treat to watch the whole process of taking the digital scan of the painting, and even looking over Scott's shoulder to see how he does the edits to tweak the color on the computer. A proof is sent to the printer, and Voila! You see what you get!

When you order directly from the shopping cart on Scott's website, you will still get your artwork personally signed by me before shipping since we're local.

Happy shopping!

And PS to any other aspiring artists, I highly recommend you go to Scott to get your art scanned. Even if you don't plan to sell it, it's a good way to archive and protect it. You can find all his contact info on his website.

"Peaceful Pastels" prevail....

Here is a good one to sit and savor... "Peaceful Pastels."

When I paint something this simple, I tend to have the thought, Oh anyone could do this - it's too easy.

Then I try to create something similar and I get an entirely different painting! I do think this speaks to the emotional content of a piece of art work - each one is a unique and unrepeatable experience.

That makes it ever the more awesome to see the effect of giclee reproduction - it comes so close to "repeating" - in a manner - the original work, it's uncanny.

Now for any of you budding artists who also want to forge ahead into the world of reproduction, Scott Moore of Bellevue Fine Art Reproduction is your man. Time and again, I get high quality, consistent work from him. He is truly about "Fine Art." Visit his website for details. http://www.bellevuefineart.com .

And check in to see the imminent unveiling of his artist galleries, of whom I am one! You will be able to order reproductions of my work, and others, directly from him. I'm close enough to his studio workshop I can drop by to sign them before shipping. Be sure to state that you want a signed copy when you make your order. Or you can email me to make your order sunraysheryl@gmail.com .
