Happy Glittered, Foiled, Coated Bday!

Sunrise has just released a batch of our everyday cards, brimming with extra-special printing processes-- glitter, metallic foil, die cuts, smooth UV spot varnish and coating. Fun!

Owl In Favor, Say Aye...

By all accounts, initial sales of our Hamilton Owl Figurine have been quite brisk. Yay! Exaggerated, playful eyes give really give these figurines a captivating, soulful look. We especially appreciate the intricacy of all the tiny hand-painted details. Why not place your order today?

The Little Things

This is a sketch for a new 60" x 42" painting. Tomorrow the actual "painting" portion begins. Always look forward to a full Paint-On-Canvas day. And tomorrow will be especially exciting-- we get to break in our new oilcloth floor covering, which replaces the tattered piece of cardboard we've been using to soak up the stray specks of umber, cobalt and olive green!

Black, White, Black, White

Recently, we've been spending some quality time with black and white. The ultimate high contrast experience. Timely, as we're about to end our time in a very warm place and return to a very not-so-warm place. Leaving a land of mystery for a home we know well.

Simultaneous contrast is not just a curious optical phenomenon, it is the very heart of painting. (Josef Albers)
