2 New 8x8s Have Just Been Released - Preparing For November!

Introducing this morning's 2 new 8x8 paintings!

Wanderlust: Despite the day's duties, may we find priceless adventures...

Found: Now, with the arrival of a child, a father is found ~ accompanied by a fresh approach to love.

November is The Month of Giclees!

Getting ready to say goodbye to the 8x8 Collection Releases - but the collection still stands...

I will release 4 Limited Editions in November, each containing only SEVEN (7) 12x15 high-quality Giclee prints in stock for a limited edition set of 30.

The first of 4 Giclee offerings will be released on Thursday, November 5, with a new limited edition released each Thursday of November.

Giclees are Museum quality Fine-Art reproductions, also called Archival Prints. These are the result of highly advanced digital printing technology using fade-resistant archival (acid free) inks known to last at least 100 years.

A Giclee is the closest to an original painting as you can get. These prints are made using an ultra-high-resolution printer, using enhanced smooth matte acid free paper.

The color, quality of materials, and overall look makes a Giclee much more valuable than any other type of reproduction. Notably more valuable if the edition is limited to 100 prints or less, and if the Giclee has been pencil signed and numbered by the Artist.

Each Thursday morning I'll surprise you with the painting that is offered as a Limited Edition Giclee (these will replace the 85 8x8s for $85 Collection releases, since the 8x8 Collection will be COMPLETE by the end of October!) - so stay posted by making sure you are on the email list!

(If you are on the email list receiving 8x8 Releases, then you will receive Giclee Release emails)

Don't Forget! Tomorrow is FREE CARDS FRIDAY! Comment on tomorrow's post and be in the running to win...


Have a wonderful day!

Love & Sincerely, Katie

Free Cards Winner - April Williams Photography - November and December Art Offerings!

It is with honor and pride that I announce that the Free Cards Friday winner this week (technically from last week) is April Williams, of April Williams Photograpy.

April and I have been friends since the tiny days of playing dolls - and that is a long time - we lost touch for awhile while we went off and set up our families and such, but are now thankfully re-connected.

She has become a talented and creative photographer and I am dying to introduce you to her work.

See the April Williams Photography portfolio here.

BOTH PHOTOGRAPHS: Copyright April Williams Photograhy. 2009

I'm thrilled that we both chose the creative path, and this photo to the left is my favorite - what I wouldn't give to have had my Daddy at my wedding...

Thank you for the inspiration, April, and thanks for keeping in touch.


Hey All!
I've got some new fun things planned!


NOVEMBER will be called the Month Of Giclees - with a new Limited Giclee Edition being introduced each Thursday.

Each week's release will be a surprise!

They will be introduced here on the blog http://www.paintingmotherhood.blogspot.com/

on my Facebook pages and into my Etsy Online Gift Shop As well as Twitter

DECEMBER will begin a new Mini Collection - I'm working out the numbers, but they will be larger than the 8x8s and once the original sells, I will make 8x8 prints available of the pieces - I know this will be a thrill to many, since there is ONLY ONE original!

I'm very excited and already working on ideas - there are only 9 originals left in the 85 8x8s for $85 Collection! Can you believe it!?

I will keep you abreast of changes and upcoming details.

Any feedback, ideas or comments are welcomed, have a wonderful day!

Love & Sincerely, Katie
