At long last, the smaller of the two murals is up at Good Samaritan Hospital, Corvallis. (!)

Mural #2 Update - Painting Completed!

At long last, I have finished painting the second mural painting I began in September/October last year.



Final varnishing remains, and renovations must be completed at the hospital before installation can be done. Stay tuned for updates.




This photo is not quite true to the colors of the painting. Better images will follow when I have a chance to take some photos with better light.

Mural #2 update

Sorry to have left everyone in the dark for so long! A painting of this size is harder to photograph than my usual work. It's best to get a photo during the day when daylight is available. Also, last time I was going to do this, my camera's batteries were run down.

The far left panel is basically finished. The other three have various things to be attended to, but I am in a finishing sort of mode now! The handful of cows, some of the shadows cast by the trees, and fence posts are coming up on my agenda. (Click on the pic to see it much more close-up.)

This and that

I am currently prioritizing the mural project... so that I can get it finished! I'm closing in, but your patience is still needed! The mural #2 I'm working on is 16x4 feet of surface area, basically. (That's 64 square feet of painting). I will try to post another progress photo soon!

 



I'm keeping up with Beth Bee Books as well as I can, but trying not to boost sales until I can turn my attention back to more production after the mural commission is out of the way. Despite this, Occasionally my books are finding themselves being mentioned...

Mural 2 progress

I continue to work on the second mural as much as possible - this is an update from 1/17. More progress has been made since last week, which I will post later. As you can see from the furniture in front, this is a very large painting! By the way, you'll need to click on the image to see the whole photo.

Keeping Busy!

December is going well! 50+ sales on Etsy.com already this month, and it's only the 11th! The shop is keeping me quite busy with holiday shoppers, plus I'm still working on the second mural painting and trying to get in my own holiday shopping (all around my day job during the week!).

My books are out there in a few retail locations for the holidays, but I haven't made time for any craft fairs. If you're lucky, they might make an appearance at my friend Meredith's table at the Handmade Bazaar at P:ear in Portland on Sunday - but I'm not promising!

New Retailers Update

A selection of Beth Bee Books are on sale at the Corvallis Art Center in downtown Corvallis for their Winterlight Art and Craft event. The sale takes over the whole gallery through Christmas Eve! I was excited to see a few things for sale from both Satsumalyn (a local etsy seller) and Appetite (from Portland Sat. Market and Etsy), two fellow artists/craftswomen whose work I really like.




I am also really excited to have books selling up north in Moscow, Idaho at the Prichard Art Gallery store (part of the University of Idaho, Moscow) starting this month!

Mural Project update

Making some more progress...

Artwork on display through 10/30


The month is already half over, but it's not too late to go by the Corvallis Arts Center in downtown Corvallis to see the Around Oregon Annual exhibit. My EconoDryer painting is on display and priced for sale (1400).
