Hello everyone!
Welcome to the new email subscribers who signed up at Christina's Outdoor Market!
And hello again to all my loyal Friday Followers!
(This email is lengthier than usual, but hey, it’s the holidays!)
Thank you to everyone who visited Christina's Outdoor Art Market last weekend, it was fun to meet so many new folks. The weather was beautiful, so I think everyone had fun looking around and enjoying a nice day looking at art. Thank you to all those who purchased, it is always an honor when you choose my work for yourself or loved ones.
The weather for this weekend is well, unpredictable, so if there is rain and or wind. We will not be open! Good News, the weather on Saturday looks fine so far! Please check my website for the latest Open/Close news.
Keeping Busy
I have been busy this week, framing and designing new orders for art earrings and prints. If you ordered any items, I will email you when ready.
I do not have a new artwork this week. So, I'm posting a painting I made many years ago of our family's traditional Seven Fishes Christmas Eve Dinner. The folks in the paintings are way older today than in the painting, my grandmother, depicted in the painting has been deceased for many years!
Feast of the Seven Fishes. Primo Piatto (there are anchovies in the pasta!). I have no idea what year I painted this large 40x30 inch painting. Or what is the year of this xmas eve feast! The painting still hangs prominently in our dining room!
This is the first year, our family will not gather for the traditional Seven Fishes Dinner.
I will miss our tradition this year. It has changed a lot over the years but remains an evening we all anticipate each year.
The tradition will remain in our hearts and in our minds this year of 2020 and Covid. We will just have to wait another year to gather for our traditional family event.
Holiday Painting in Progress!
I have a new painting on the drawing board with a Holiday Theme.
So, look for the new painting next Friday!
Gift a Painting for yourself or a loved one
If you see an original painting or drawing that you believe will "connect" with a friend or loved one...let me know!!! Or gift yourself with Art that touches your mind or soul!
All my original drawings and paintings are still available with the Pay What You Decide Program (suggested minimums apply.) I have a 7-day return policy if for some reason the art does not "work" for its recipient.
2021 Calendars
2021 Wall Calendar
2021 Desk Calendar
2021 Wall Calendar
The revised Wall Calendars are expected on December 5. If you already ordered you are covered. If you have not ordered a Wall Calendar yet, I suggest you order soon. They have been moving quickly. They are really beautiful this year. I am proud of they will be hanging in folk's home and/or office.
2021 Desk Calendar
I finally designed the desk calendars and I am picking them up from the printer today!!! The images are the same as Wall Calendar. Personally, I can't live without my desk Calendar. It is so handy, I keep it next to my computer, at a glance you can see the entire month and all the holidays! The desk calendars come with a little metal easel/stand, it's easy to shuffle through the various months to look ahead, see the holidays, etc.
