Companion Series - Violet Poppies Set of 3, 2" x 2" each
News from Kelly Parker Designs
Issue #3 January 2009
Well, this blustery weather sure has been great!! Now I know you're thinking I am crazy...ok, most of you know I am, but anyway, the weather sure makes it easy to paint in the studio. It is too cold to go outside!
I had a wonderful November and December, I sold about 10 paintings in 6 weeks! Thank you to all the wonderful people who are supporting arts locally.
BIG NEWS!! I just received word that I am the proud recipient of another artist grant for 2009 from the Arts and Industry Council of Calhoun County at www.whereisart.com
With this grant, I will be working more on my website, creating new art, playing with new ways to promote my art and looking for an e-newsletter service.
I am currently working on what I call "Companion Pieces". You will be able to purchase art in any size and be able to keep adding art work to your already existing pieces to create a whole wall of art that has interchangeable dimensions. The sizes range from 2" x 2" up to 12" x 36" letting you display the art horizontally or vertically on the wall. Stack 'em, rearrange 'em, separate 'em to your hearts content.... Endless possibilities! To see some of the smaller pieces I have completed, check out the Companion Pieces portfolio on my website at www.kellyparkerdesigns.com
I have added the option of purchasing prints of some of my pieces at Fine Art America. If you are looking for prints, this is the place to look.
For my e-newsletter customers only!! I have a special deal for you - Art Upgrades. If you purchase any of my prints or original art work from www.fineartameica.com/profiles/kelly-parker or www.kellyparkerdesigns.com before February 28th, you will receive 1 note card of your choice, just email me with your choice and I will ship it with your order. It's that easy!!
I added two new portfolios to my website at kelly parker designs that feature Small Art and Companion Pieces that I will be working on in 2009.
I have to confess I am a twitterer now, you can follow me at www.twitter.com/kparkerdesigns

Have a wonderful day,
Kelly
