Learn About Custom Framing for Artwork

Hello to my art loving readers!

Have you ever had concerns about ordering artwork prints or glicees online? One of my main questions has been to ask- What level of workmanship and quality goes into the framing?

Those of us who love to decorate our walls with art and who have finally ventured into online shopping (with a degree of trepidation), may find a little security in gathering information before taking the plunge.

Always check out the framing processes and materials used by your supplier(if the artwork you are purchasing is to be framed)before you make a final commitment.

I found this link useful from one of the larger online poster and print providers.

Announcing new Online Art Gallery

Hello Fellow Artisians!

I have recently thought about showing some of my own art and have created an online gallery. There is a panel on this page highlighting some of my art. You can view my gallery at 9reddoors.

It is in the plan to create and feature my won original digital art and designs along with prints of my original paintings. The prints will be available as , poster or glicees on canvas and paper. Occasionally, I will have other products printed with my original art. Check it out and feedback is welcome. This is very new, so many more products will be added as time allows.

Take care,

Artists Networking On The Web

Welcome Fellow Artisians!

Being an artist doesn't necessarily mean that you have creative flare of the, electronic sort. It has taken me almost 6 months of part-time trial and error to discover other avenues to market my products.

The web provides so many options. Since I am not spending time surfing the net every other hour, I had not even heard of Digg, Stumble Upon, Del-icio-us, Flickr, Technorati or Squidoo. I found them by accident. Many of these sites are community based; they are 'social networking sites' all designed to give people like you and I the chance to have a say, advertise our talents and products, have an opinion or just share the love, as they say.

Well you don't need to find this out by accident. I am providing a list of a number of these wonderful sites that I am sure if you haven't heard of them, you will be pleased that I introduced them to you. It's definitely worth a look , especially if you need to spread the word about your art or art related products.

Bedford Art Gallery

Hello Fellow Art Lovers and Artists!

I have been rather busy with visitors from overseas, so finally have managed to log in with more news.

Last week, my daughter and I visited the Bedford Art Gallery in Walnut Creek CA. It currently hosts an exhibition called Local Voice. The public vote on these.

The art on view, is created by local artists from around the Contra Costa region. It covers most styles and media from paintings to sculptures and quilting.

I was very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was given permission to take some photos while there and have displayed one or two for you here.
