Welcome to all of the new people who signed up for the newsletter...

Art Expo 2005 in New York...
ArtExpo was a good show this year in spite of the exceptionally cold weather. I enjoyed seeing all of you who used my invitation to come to the show and stop by our booth.
Arthur made his first public appearance as an artist with his Earth Mandala painting...



Beth Avary (me!) on the left posing with the painting "By The River" and Kimi with her million dollar smile on the right, stands with my painting "Savanna".
One of our favorite booth visitors this year was Lisa Fondo, Persistence Of Vision, Ltd. The painting "Savanna" hangs behind her...

We finally got around to upgrading our hosting service to allow the online sale of Ink Jet prints for many of my paintings. For $35 each, the small size is double matted. You will see links to the paintings that are plugged into the shopping cart system in the galleries throughout the site, or you can go straight to the fairly simple and to-the-point shopping page here:

Coming Soon... Ebay Auctions...
Our new Ebay auction will be ready by the end of September. We will send out an announcement as soon as it is up and running.

With all of the news about Hurricane Katrina and the consequential suffering of our fellow Americans we have decided to contribute the entire proceeds of our first Ebay auction to a charitable cause. We will include a document which shows what organization your money went to with your painting, and will also, if it is requested, donate the money to the charity of your choice.

I am doing some small works in oil on canvas for auction. This size will not be available in galleries.
Included will be fantastic landscapes, horses and a few fantasy subjects.

Be sure to check out new paintings on my website! Have a great summer!
