Print of the Day - "A Wall with a View"
"A Wall with a View" was painted in 2008. I was sketching the Sandia Mountains and before I knew it, I had a wagonwheel wall and colorful shrubs. It was late in the day and the sky really did have a layer-like appearance of pink, lavender and blue.
Fine art prints are available on The Untapped Source in the following sizes:
12" x 24"
I recommend having this printed on watercolor paper or canvas, but matte, glossy and luster papers are also available. Comment on or Share this Article →
Print of the Day - "A Spring to Remember"
"A Spring to Remember" was painted in 2002. I was preparing for the New Mexico Arts and Crafts fair and it was such a beautiful spring. I painted this strong adobe wall I saw along a country road and added in the colorful trees and shrubs I was finding all around.
Fine art prints are available on The Untapped Source in the following sizes:

Print of the Day - "A Breath of Spring"
A couple of days ago, I started featuring a "Print of the Day" on my Facebook Fan Page. I would like to add this to my blog, but would like to keep it consistent with my fan page. So, I need to catch up by adding the first three prints here on the same day.
The first one is entitled "A Breath of Spring". I painted this back in the spring of 2009. It was inspired by a pot of white daisies I spotted basking in the sun, in the village of Corrales.
Fine art prints of this painting are available on The Untapped Source in the following sizes:
12" x 16"
18" x 24"
I would recommend having this printed on watercolor paper or canvas, but matte, glossy and luster papers are also available. Comment on or Share this Article →

The American Southwest Group on Imagekind
View From the Mesa by Gayle Faucette Wisbon
Imagekind has a great community of artists who create and sell their art as prints and greeting cards. Some artists join groups to showcase their work according to a particular theme or subject matter. I created the American Southwest group and am really happy to see it featured on Imagekind today.
This group was created to display the beauty and diversity of the American Southwest. It is comprised of 65 artists and includes over 400 beautiful images from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas and Utah.
Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
The aroma of chiles roasting reminds me that summer is coming to an end and autumn will soon be here. It's my favorite time of year here, with perfect weather and that one magical week in October - the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta!
From October 3 - 11, 2009, the skies will be filled with colorful balloons from all over the world. In the past, there have been as many as 750 balloons participating. There will be mass ascensions, balloon glows, special shapes balloons, competitions, fireworks, arts and crafts, and, of course, lots of great food!
It's always fun to have an out of town guest during this week to share this with. This year I am really excited that my best friend from high school will be out to visit for the first time. So I have lots of ideas, including a ride on the Rail Runner to Santa Fe.
Several years ago, I had an idea for a painting, combining a cactus and hot air balloons. I painted it on a 30"h x 40"w canvas and placed in on consignment in a local frame shop. As I have written many times before, the painting, entitled "Cactus Fiesta" was stolen, along with some other pieces of my art. Luckily, I had some good slides of the painting and so I am at least able to have prints and other items made from this image.
So, to gear up for the balloon fiesta, here are a few of those items from my Zazzle shop. I have posters, greeting cards, postcards, postage stamps and t-shirts, all with this design.
Hope to see you at the balloon fiesta! I'm planning to be out there on the first Saturday morning, handing out some free postcards, enjoying the balloons, taking photos and eating a famous New Mexico style breakfast burrito!
My Art on New Mexico Creates
The Museum of New Mexico Foundation operates four museums in Santa Fe, New Mexico - the Palace of the Governors, the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, the New Mexico Museum of Art and the Museum of International Folk Art.
I am very excited to have some of my art now available on their website for New Mexico artists, New Mexico Creates. The site also includes Native American art, Hispanic crafts, jewelry, art glass and textiles. Here is an article about this site in The Santa Fe New Mexican.
Currently, I have one original painting and fifteen open edition signed giclee prints available for sale on the site. I will be adding more work in the future.
My Art on Other Sites
In addition to my wonderful art site here on Fine Art Studio Online, I use other sites to sell reproductions and/or to draw traffic here to my main site. Here are a few and why I have selected them.
Imagekind has become my favorite site for fine art prints. I have ordered a few and the quality is excellent. They sell museum quality prints and buyers can select from eight different acid-free papers and two types of canvas. Custom framing is also available with over 160 frames and over 140 mats to choose from. Greeting cards are available, as well. My gallery can be viewed here.
Artists interested in having their work on Imagekind can select from four types of accounts. There is a very active artist community with a forum and groups. Imagekind helps promote their artists by displaying eight new images each day on the home page, as well as two artist profiles. They also highlight certain artists in their blog. However, like most print on demand sites, it is up to the artist to build their own customer base. Artists are free to set their own royalties.
Artist Rising was created by Art.com to give artists a place to show their work, as well as give them an opportunity to have their work on the Art.com and Allposters sites. Artists can submit images for poster prints or fine art prints. The setup process takes a bit longer than other sites. First, the image is uploaded and description is added. Then it has to be approved, which takes a couple of days. After the image has been approved, the artist can set up either poster prints or fine art prints. The poster print setup also takes a couple of days. I have only created poster prints, but from what I understand, the fine art print setup involves a fee and mailing of images on cd. Artists are paid a 15% royalty on sales.
Unfortunately, Art.com does not assist the artists very much with advertising this site, although they do have a small link to it on their site. The great thing is that they will periodically migrate images from Artist Rising to the Art.com and Allposters sites and that is where most of the artists make their sales. Their decision on which images are chosen is based on sales on Artist Rising and/or decorating trends. Artist Rising also includes an artist forum, but we really have to help each other out, because there is very little feedback from the Artist Rising team.
Redbubble is a very fun and active online artist community. They have lots of forums, groups and activities going on there. The Redbubble team is constantly working to make this a great place for artists and buyers and they keep us well-informed. Artists can create an artist profile and a Bubblesite, all for free! They offer a variety of prints, as well as greeting cards, calenders and t-shirts. The greeting cards are beautiful! Artists are also free to set their own royalties. Writers can submit their work, as well. I have read some beautiful poetry there.
Zazzle is also a fun and active place for artists to sell all kinds of products. My Zazzle gallery includes fine art prints, greeting cards, postcards and postage stamps. However, there are a multitude of other products to create such as t-shirts, shoes, skateboards, magnets, mugs, calenders, etc. It also includes a very active artist forum and the ability to comment and favorite other artist's shops. Zazzle galleries are also free and artists can set their own royalties for each product.
Well, there are lots of others sites out there, but these are the ones I have been with the longest and am the most familiar with.
Featured on Daily Original
My painting, "The Tulip Garden" will be featured all day today on Daily Original. This site features only one original piece of art each day. Fine art prints have recently been added to the artist's store.
New Mexico Creates
The Tulip Garden
I am very excited about a new opportunity! I had an appointment on Thursday with the buyers from the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. They operate four museums located in Santa Fe. They buy arts and crafts from New Mexico artists for resale in the gift shops. However, they do not purchase wall art for the shops because of space, but they do have a website at http://newmexicocreates.org. Anyway, it went really well & they are going to place my art on their website as soon as I submit the images & documents for each image. I will be able to sell original art, as well as prints.
I am sharing this because other artists may want to check and see if there is anything similar where you live. I heard that this began in 2003 and I just now found out about it through a local arts newsletter.

Hollyhocks

San Felipe de Neri
San Felipe de Neri
I have always wanted to do a series of some of the old New Mexico churches. The first one I did, La Iglesia de San Ysidro, was completed several years ago. A few months ago, I finally completed the second one, San Felipe de Neri.
San Felipe de Neri is a beautiful old church located in Old Town, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The original church was built in 1706 and was located across the street. It crumbled due to heavy rains in 1792. It was rebuilt in 1793 in it's current location and is the oldest church in Albuquerque. This is painted with acrylics on standard depth stretched canvas and the edges are painted black, so it can be displayed with or without a frame. The dimensions are 20 inches high x 16 inches wide.
Museum quality fine art prints on paper or canvas are available on Imagekind. Greeting cards are also available.
