I’m giving away these original paintings from now until the end of November as part of a holiday sale. Any person who orders $100 or more in art from my etsy shop gets one of these free original mini paintings! As I write this, so far I’ve given away 4. Any pieces that are not given away will be available for purchase in my shop at $65 each on December 1st. You can visit my previous blog post for details here, but I wanted to show this group of 8 all together.
Painting info: Each of these was done on a 4 x 4 x 1.5 inch woodblock. Edges have been painted black and each is sealed in a glossy finish. I’ve signed my first name on the front, and signed, titled and dated the back. Happy Shopping!! -Cindy

“Shy Little Siren”
Now Available: “Shy Little Siren” 16′ x 20″ x 3/4″ acrylic on stretched canvas original painting. For some reason, I don’t seem to paint “green” paintings that often. Well, this one is filled with the green underwater wavy grass and as you can see, a shy mermaid. This piece has a lot of movement and flow. The stalks of grass, the rising bubbles, and the mermaid hair all lend themselves to motion. This piece could almost fit into my girls series titled “Beauty of Imagination” as she is a girl with her face hidden (a lot of her is hidden). But I’m keeping her categorized in my Seafarers series as it’s a water piece with a lot of mystery. To see more info and detailed pics, she is currently available in my etsy shop here. 
Want a limited edition print instead?? I’ve got a short edition of 10 over on etsy! -Cindy
The Watchful Seas
Update: This eBay auction has ended. Sold! To a collector in Kentucky.
Mini Paintings
Three little mini paintings up for grabs tonight. I’m in the process of painting a bunch of tiny landscapes to bring with me to the Acworth Art Fest in April. I’ve pulled 3 of them and just posted them on etsy. These little canvases weigh only 1oz, so feel free to add a little magnet to the back if you want! Enjoy – Cindy
“Cloud 9” – Now Available in Print
Ok, so I’m finally done with 15 paintings for Taipei. I had to take a photo of myself with each painting for the show (lol, don’t worry, I won’t post each one). After I sent all my photos, I got an e-mail back stating that they wanted a bunch more. 20 more. Oh my goodness, what else will these girls be up to I wonder? Honestly, I have not a clue as I type this…but sketching will begin next week. Unfortunately this means, no new originals will be posted in my online art shop for quite a while. So Sorry 😦
Soooooo, I will be working on getting signed limited editions released this week. All signed prints will be limited to 20 in each edition. I will also be making these available in poster prints for those who want something larger…but they won’t be signed or made by me. All of my limited editions are printed on 8×10 size paper.
So here is a picture of the original painting that I’ve titled “Cloud 9”. The original will be on exhibit at X-Power Gallery in Taipei, Taiwan in early 2012. Signed prints can be purchased here, and posters can be purchasedhere. Watch my facebook wall to catch the rest of the prints over the next few days….
