Hope everyone had a great Christmas.
All the best for 2012!

Victorian scraps and advertising.

I love these things from the Victorian age.

I have to clear my stash. Lots of scanning, so it takes time.
Here is the first of some of it.
Absolutely darling images of children.

Super by themselves, or as part of your art or craft project.

"Western Window Dressing" SFA 5x7" Watercolor

Just listed: 5x7" watercolor "Western Window Dressing".

Love this window box flower display. It's in a working mill - historic Butte Creek Mill in Eagle Point, Oregon. Personally, because of the weathered wood, and my treatment of it, I consider this "highly detailed"!

I'll include the frame if you mention this blog. The frame is professionally made. Priced WAY below gallery price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290634571873

Someone is getting a custom house portrait!

Just sold on Etsy, a custom pen & ink house sketch. 5x7"
Fun, even though I suffer angst that the buyer won't like it. I'm silly that way!!!

I guess it's getting to be gift-giving season. Orders need to come in early in case they intend to frame it.

Miniature watercolor - old steam train - Great Smoky Mountains Railway

This watercolor is 3.25 x 1.35". I photo'd it with USA 1 cent coin, for size comparison.
"Fading Past 0702" - From what I understand, this train no longer runs through Dillsboro, NC. So it's a glimpse of our fading past.
This painting is on it's way to a miniature exhibition in Pennsylvania.
Seems so funny at times how art traverses the world. From conception in NC, to birth in OR, now to PA, and who knows from there. Probably back to OR, unless sold - which would delight me no end. I never know what is better - win an award, or sell your work. Both are an awesome acknowledgement to an artist.

Please vote!

Even though I don't have a website with them FASO (Fine Art Studios Online), on impulse I decided to pay to enter this month's contest. If you're on FACEBOOK, I'd love for you to 'like' my entry. It is a juried contest and likes don't help me win, but it's fun! I entered "Sunkist Starburst", an 11x14" acrylic on canvas.


I would be most grateful if you would 'like' my painting:

You could make a difference to someone.

Please share this. It is a fellow artist's sister - just happened this past week. She was instantly blinded and is fighting for her life. Just $1 would help or even an encouraging word. http://www.indiegogo.com/RoryNeedsHelp I have an address if needed. Email me.

You can donate on that site.

UPDATE:

A sincere thank you to all that helped in this quest. It is really unfortunate that Rory did not make it through. Condolences to all.

Thank you.

A month of give-aways - JUNE, 2011

I promised a give-away for the entire month of June. Sometimes life gets in the way. I fell at work last week and injured my right arm so use of it is limited. Anyway - enough of that .... Here's why the giveaway - I've had a website since 1996, but had my domain name and website since June 2001. So this year is my 10th anniversary!

EDITED: 2012:
Thank you to all who participated. I am removing all posts relating to this, as they don't need to be on my blog. Participants sent me daily emails, and I drew names out of a hat to be fair to all and some days we had duplicates.


The prizes were art related, art, vintage papers, fabric remnants, scrapbooking supplies, craft supplies, ACEO related. Old paper - retro, ephemera, images. Participants had to to tell me 3 things they loved and 3 things hated. I have lots of these things on hand, so the giveaways are things out of my art/crafts cupboard. This helped me choose what I was putting in the packages. All done for fun!

If anyone has any questions regarding this, please let me know.
Thank you.

"Ace of Spades" ACEO watercolor for 2011 ACEO card deck

I signed up to produce an ACEO for the 2011 card deck.
My card was the Ace of Spades.

I couldn't get past my original fascination with this card.

I grew up in the age when we played cowboys and Indians, and there were westerns galore on the TV. To find out that the Ace of Spades has such a shady history with the shooting of Wild Bill Hickok, I never could get out of my mind.

Attending a western re-enactment last year provided some wonderful images, so with a bit of manipulating the pose, etc. This is what I came up with. I did a bit of this under magnification. And I deliberately gave it a very muted color scheme.

Big changes in 2011...

http://www.JillianCrider.com
I'm revamping my website - and putting up all my original artworks for sale. I'm also doing a slide show of them, for people to browse.

My website will be 10 years old this year. I did put art up for sale, but gradually used other sites for convenience. Now I'm not so sure that my web might be best. I've used PayPal instant buy buttons.

My color combo may not be the best, but, for now, it's what I want. I have sold miniature (dollhouse-size) paintings off my website previously, but that was years ago. Times have changed, so now is time for change. I need to get on to painting some more, too.

Click on the link under the image to visit my website - go to left side 'buy my artwork' (click on the clown image). The painting is a 5x7" watercolor "Dancing Flame - Fuchsia".
