This is my very first Labor of Love piece that I painted nearly 10 years ago. It’s quite popular as a print, but what most people do not realize is that this is only 1/3 of the painting.  Because the camera I had at the time would only make a small print of the entire piece, I photographed it in sections.  I now offer them as separate prints:  Abstract 1, 2 and 3.

These works are indeed a labor of love for me and I pant them sparingly now by commission only.  The sad truth is I can make a lot more for my time creating simple abstracts that take minutes to finish.  These take many days and weeks to have a final work of art. It is one example of hard work not paying off.  Unless you can sell prints…

I am delighted that the many hours spent making spirals and hand framing each stone in black is finally paying off!  You can enjoy Abstract 1 for a limited time at a very low price!

A Labor Of Love

This is how it all began….my Labor Of Love series.  This was my very first piece titled “A River Runs Through It” after the movie.  Choosing titles is always an interesting endeavor!  This painting is actually a single piece.  I divided it into three pieces because that is the only way I could photograph it at the time (9 years ago) and have it look good.  My camera could not process it in it’s entirety without it looking blurry.  I am so glad I did as to this day these are some of my best sellers!  

 

I am painting some new originals for my upcoming show.  These take a lot of time and patience so this will be a real treat for my fans.  I have not created many new works in this series in the last few years.  Namely because they just do not make a lot of sense for my business.  What takes me a week in these, I can make the same income from other works which only take an hour or so.  A week of work for the groceries or an hour of work for groceries.  Anyone can do the math.  

 

The good news is that these can be enjoyed anytime whether I am painting new work or not. And commissions are always welcome.  You can find a great selection of my Labor of Love here:
