december desktop calendar is here!

if you have been following along on facebook or instagram then you’re probably well aware that november, for me at least, became quite a month. a total blur really. which meant that a november desktop calendar was out of the question. alas, i have finally had a chance to catch my breath, and have become a bit more aware of my senses and being and have finished a painting. enjoy!

October Desktop Calendars : YES! I have a Blog!

October Desktop Calendars are here! And yes, I have a blog (back to that in a minute, or day or a week, i dunno). 

I have always wanted to create free downloadable desktop calendars for use and to start things off, I've created three options. I was excited! Click on the desktop calendar of your choice below, then right click and download, or click on use as background image. Each calendar this month is titled or themed so that you can choose one for the whole month or change out your choice throughout the month. All artwork is my own and are from original acrylic paintings on watercolor paper.

As this is my first time creating a free downloadable, any feedback you'd like to provide would be immeasurably invaluable. Thanks errbody! And happy October!

First, Granny Florals!

Second, October Shapes.

And last but not least, for the folks who love Halloween and all the bits about it, the Spooky!

Please enjoy! And do share!

Upcoming Exhibit : Sara Smith Self Gallery : September 2 - September 30

Many of you have been following along as I have been sharing my painting process and progress leading up to my upcoming art exhibit at the Sara Smith Self Gallery in Asheboro, NC this coming month.  I would like to thank each of you for the support and encouragement over the last several months as I have been creating this new series of work for the exhibit.  Your kind words and positive thoughts are affirmation and a part of what drives me to continue to paint and pursue my art full time.  I have appreciated every last comment, "like", and "follow" you have shared.  It is truly a gift to me to have such a loyal local group of patrons.  Even though I have been painting for many years, and have exhibited my work numerous times, the immense feeling of gratitude for the opportunity to share my paintings, remains and wells up in me even more as I wrap up final preparations.

There are a few of you who have inquired about purchasing my work.  My work will be hung on Monday September 1st and will remain in the gallery until Tuesday September 30th.  If you are interested in purchasing a piece of my art during the month of September you may contact the gallery directly starting on Monday.  The Sara Smith Self Gallery in the Moring Arts Center can be reached at (336) 629-0399 or by visiting the website, www.RandolphArtsGuild.com.  For you reference I have included the Title, Dimensions and Gallery List Price below each piece, pictured below.  I have also created a flickr album 'Sara Smith Self Gallery' for those interested in seeing my art work in a larger format.

If you have further questions feel free to email me at catcollier(at)hotmail(dot)com.  Thank you, and wish me luck!
