Andrea and Aitch in Etsy Treasury!

I managed to snare a Treasury on Etsy yesterday afternoon. Creating a Treasury is tricky in itself as there is a limit to how many lists Etsy allow at any one time, and the window for grabbing one is small. However, after much patient Etsy watching – I got one! I decided on the theme of ‘Small is beautiful’ and included twelve of my favourite items currently for sale on Etsy with a neutral and blue theme.

My ethereal landscape painting ‘Blue Hills’ from my mini art series is included. Also included are Rogue Gene artist Helen Davison’s piece ‘Candy Cake’ and artist Peter Williams’ horse ACEO.

Etsy Treasury lists are live for approx two days. Be quick and catch it here: www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=86121

New artworks on paper by Andrea Farmer

'Blue Hills'

'Blue Hills'

'A Different Light'

'A Different Light'

I’ve added two new works on paper to Etsy and my personal site this week. These are entitled ‘Blue Hills’ and ‘A Different Light’ and are from my mini art series. These paintings are created in oil and ink on 300gsm oil paper and focus on the rural/rugged British landscape. As they are smaller (250 x 175 mm) than most of my paintings and unframed they are available at a very affordable price. I have recently sold two paintings from this series to USA buyers on Etsy.

Perfect gifts for Valentine’s Day

"Textured Heart

In case you hadn’t noticed, Valentine’s Day is not far away now. I have got several small items for sale in my Etsy shop that would be perfect gifts for such an occasion! The most suitable is my “Textured Heart” mini art painting on canvas and matching trinket box that is pictured here.

Available either singly or as a matching set, I’m sure they would be appreciated as a gift of love! These creations would probably be appreciated more by women, especially the ones like “Candy Cake”.

Don’t miss out – order soon to be in time for the big day.

Cabbage Red

My most recent large painting (aside from the mini series of art on canvas I have been working on) uploaded to the Rogue Gene Gallery is this acrylic and ink painting on a canvas board measuring 18 x 24 inches.  I based it on a photograph I took once I’d sliced through a red cabbage prior to preparing it for a meal  – I just love the colours and shapes it contains and thought it made an ideal image for a painting. It is for sale unframe which leaves the option for the customer to choose their own moulding and/or mount which may make things easier.
