Hello Everyone,

I hope your 2012 is off to a great start…I decided to start mine by turning my ‘Rose’ painting into two editions of hand painted works on paper. The larger Roses I will paint, number and sign  50 and the smaller ones I will paint, number and sign 120 (I thought ten dozen small roses seemed more elegant then 100) The Rose image goes back to early 2000 – 2001 and is one of my favorite drawings…My Grandmothers name is Rose. In 2008-2009 while in the UK I turned the drawing into the ‘Rose’  painting which now happily resides in Florida. With Valentines day right around the corner I thought the smaller ones would make for the perfect gift.

• Large Rose works on paper are $475 without a frame (an extra $125 for a stunning frame from The World Trade Art Gallery)
• Small Rose works on paper are $125 with matting and an archival clear sleeve..ready for framing.

Valentines day gifts…Why I am a big fan….

It is a little known fact that the very first ‘Monopoly’ print was a commission for a collector to give to his then girlfriend (they are married with two children now!) in the year 2000. At the time I believe the print was $150. Just recently a ‘Monopoly’ print sold in the after market for $3100! So you can see why I am a big fan, if not for that Valentines day gift so long ago my life would be different today…so I am grateful.

I hope everyone has a great Valentines day and as always ….

Cheers,
