Artfest virtual arts market is open!
It is a local Greater Toronto Area event, and, therefore, a fantastic opportunity for local artists, artisans and writers to show off their creations. In normal years, we would head out to the Esplanade park in Pickering and see in person what artists have created, what musicians and writers would like us to hear, but this year the event is virtual again.
The virtual arts market website gives a brief introduction about each participant, and one can follow a link if they are interested. I hope they are! My personal website is extensive, however, the theme I am using does not support good Home pages, therefore, my Blog page and this new article will have to do that.
My art can be attributed to a few main categories.
By medium and technique:
drawings,
pen and watercolor art on watercolor paper,
pure watercolor paintings on paper,
acrylic paintings on canvas and
highly textured acrylic paintings on canvas.
By subject of painting:
floral and floral still life,
still life,
seasons,
buildings, barns and perspective,
landscapes and trees,
small birds.
Please, see collections by painting subject here:
All pages from which I sell art include all subjects, but I rather specified the medium I have applied. I have created a separate page for
Watercolor paintings: Shop watercolor paintings
Acrylic paintings (page will be updated with more paintings): Shop acrylic paintings
and a page which offers art related to current season or which suits the current trends: Shop special offers
While all nature subjects appeal to me, I have always paid special attention to seasons, therefore, I can certainly say that I have plenty of spring, summer, fall and winter paintings.
Finally, my website has excellent search option and if you type a name which best describes the subject in the Search box, all posts which include this entry will come up.
Available acrylic paintings
As you will notice, all available paintings are originals. I think it’s best to allow companies which specialize in making prints to allow doing that. The smallest acrylic paintings are 12 x 12 in or 30.5 x 30.5 cm. Many are 20 x 16 in or 51 x 41 cm, 18 x 24 in or 46 x 51 cm, as well as 20 x 24 in or 51 x 61 cm. I haven’t published the largest acrylic paintings yet.
I always paint around the edge; therefore, painting can be displayed without a frame. Painting continues around the sides of canvas and looks great.
Available watercolors
Available watercolors are also only originals painted on watercolor paper, frequently, heavy and very firm Arches, Saunders-Waterford paper or bright white archival quality paper in case of pen and watercolor art. On sale pages displayed watercolor paintings are sold without a frame or mat. The framed watercolors are available in person only, many of them have glass and I cannot take any new photos, and they have beautiful oak wood frames, therefore, I wouldn’t be able to ship them anywhere. The smaller size framed watercolors are in 11 x 14 in or 28 x 36 cm standard frames with mats and one can also purchase them in person from studio, but not from website.
How to purchase available art
If you like a painting, just click on View product label and continue as directed. For purpose of this particular local event, you can pick up the painting practically any day between 11 am and 8 pm. I’m located in Ajax, almost downtown.
To ask any questions and to find out more, please, use this page:
I will be happy to assist. My website does not process any payments; therefore, you are submitting your info to Shopify or PayPal and they process the payment. Paintings are sold without tax and prices are in Canadian dollars. If you pick up your painting, that’s the final price. I can exchange any painting to a similar one, but I won’t take it back once it has been in possession of somebody.
Thank you kindly for reading and I hope you like some painting so much, you’d love to own it!
