My Art in New Guide to Coloring Book

I was surprised to get a package recently from Fox Chapel Publishing. As you may recall from a previous post, I had completed a coloring book for Fox Chapel featuring the 50 state birds and flowers. I did not know they were going to include one of the images from that book in their other new book, New Guide to Coloring. So I was pleasantly surprised to get some samples of this book!

Here's a picture of the page that has my artwork, the chickadee you see in the upper right corner. This is a colored-in version from the 50 state birds and flowers coloring book for the state of Maine, the chickadee and the white pine cone. Yes, a cone is technically a "flower" of a pine tree, even though we don't think of them as flowers in the usual sense. :)

This is a nice book with high quality paper, print, and binding, and lots of good tips and suggestions for coloring. If you know someone who likes to color, please consider giving them this book and/or my Birds at Home 50 state birds and flowers coloring book for Christmas. They are the perfect size for stocking stuffers! And thank you for helping support an artist when doing your shopping this holiday season. :)

More Shirts For Horse Lovers

In a previous post I shared some shirts featuring my horse paintings that you can now buy on Amazon. Since then I've had some more horse shirts accepted so I wanted to share all the horse shirts I now have available on Amazon. The first one here, the Friesian horse, is my best seller so far. But it's also been on Amazon the longest so we'll see how the others do as time goes on. :)

Gift Ideas for Artists

People are already starting to think about Christmas shopping. Artists are easy to buy presents for. We're always using up our paints, canvases, and even brushes. Yes, no matter how careful we are cleaning our brushes, they eventually just wear out or get too much dried paint in them to work well anymore. And they're expensive! So artists will always appreciate a nice set of brushes. Here's a sampling of some gift ideas for artists.


New Virginia State Bird Products & Gifts

In a previous post I shared some new artwork featuring the Virginia State Bird & Flower, the red cardinal and the flowering dogwood. Well, now this image is available on all sorts of products. If you know someone who lives in, or loves, the state of Virginia, consider giving them one of these unique and customizable gifts. You can customize all these products to add names, dates, change the background color, or even your own images of friends and family, to really personalize them. Here are just a few samples of items available featuring this artwork. Click here to see all the Virginia State Bird products in my Zazzle Store.

Coffee Mugs Featuring Animals

I was just thinking about how many people enjoy beautiful artwork but don't have the money or wall space to buy original paintings or even prints. There's only so much space on your walls. But there are so many ways to enjoy art without owning an original painting or fine art print, from calendars to coffee mugs. Practically everyone drinks coffee or tea, or at least keeps coffee mugs on hand for guests who do. Who doesn't own a coffee mug, after all? So why have a plain black or white mug when you could use that mug as a canvas to display some artwork?

Many people are already starting their Christmas shopping. Personalized coffee mugs are just the right size and price for stocking stuffers. So, for the animal lovers you know, how about a coffee mug featuring artwork with their favorite animal, personalized with their name, or the name of an event or date of special meaning? Mugs for dog lovers, cat lovers, horse lovers, bird lovers, duck hunters, deer hunters, and more.
