Andrea and Aitch in Etsy Treasury!

Aitch — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 14:13:29 +0000

Today I discovered that both myself and fellow Rogue Gene member, Andrea Farmer , have had one of our pieces of art selected for a Treasury on Etsy. Getting your art in a treasury is a boost to your self esteem as it reinforces the worth of your work when fellow art lovers are show-casing it on your behalf. It is also a really useful way of getting a lot of extra promotion since a lot of the time, Etsy users (both sellers and buyers) use twitter and other social networking applications on a regular basis.

I found out first of from reading an email message from the curator of the Treasury, michellpryorart. Then I saw a link on Facebook to Andrea’s latest personal blog post mentioning the fact that we were both featured in the same Treasury.

Here is a snapshot of the Treasury – you can visit Etsy and look at all the items in more details by clicking on this link if you wish, too.

In the Treasury, Michelle has kindly featured one of Andrea’s hauntingly ethereal landscape paintings entitled “All In It”, which is for sale in her Etsy shop at $30 (approximately £19) including free postage. You can view it full screen by going to Andrea’s Etsy shop here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/29132770/all-in-it-original-ethereal-landscape?ref=tre-4cde10b839fc8eef8023afd6-14

The painting I have had featured is one of my mini paintings complete with easel – “Moonflowers”, which is for sale in my Etsy shop, Arty Aitch, at $14 (approximately £9). You can view it full screen here.

Many thanks for Michelle for featuring two members of Rogue Gene Collective in her latest Treasury, it is much appreciated!

Remember Me

I’m currently concentrating on producing work for the Chelmsford Arts Trail 2010. The paintings shown here are all based on Essex rural and coastal scenes. Although I haven’t decided exactly which pieces I will exhibit yet (the Trail starts in September) I want to build up a collection of works to choose from when the time comes. I’m very much enjoying expanding on my floral themed landscape paintings and plan to create a few more incorporating wild flowers.

Here are some photos from the exhibition we held at Pinder Hall in Cookham last weekend. You will notice that there are also one or two non-Rogue Gene Collective artists included, which really helped to create an interesting and varied exhibition.

I will be writing about the weekend in more detail on my personal blog soon, once this nice weather has gone!

'Blue Hills'

'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.
