You know who you are. You walk into a garage sale and see a chair with three legs and shredded upholstery and think, “SCORE, I can’t believe they are selling this future shabby chic vintage ottoman!”
Yes you, who saves your wrapping paper, toilet rolls, and/or pine cones. Or maybe you just stroll through Pinterest marking amazing projects you never thought of because you don’t re-envision everything you see as a handy new paper towel holder. But someone does….
Today is your day! You are a visionary, and I applaud your talent.
You may or may not know it but over a period of about 5 years I made hundreds of small trading card sized paintings. Each of those paintings were sold, some were made into prints, and some just evaporated. Most of them were pretty cool though and I think they deserve a second life…
I will get to the point. All of my “old” small paintings are being re-born as a supply for your never-ending creative drive. I am making digital collage sheets for yo
ur downloading pleasure. There is no limit to the possibilities of what you can do with them, but then I don’t have to tell you that.
Right now I have 6 different collage sheets of my small original paintings. Each sheet has different designs from the other. So it’s best to collect all of them. Better get craftin’!
From just three 11×14 prints to an enormous 13 – I am proud to share the newest editions to my Extra Large Print section of my Lauren Alexander Shop.
I painted this while fooling around in the watercolor class for grown-ups that I am assisting in. It has turned out to be one of my favorite paintings. The original sold quickly – a sign that I did something right. And now the print is here for you to enjoy in all its archival reproduction 8×10 glory. Have a fantastic friday, everyone! What are your plans? Besides shopping for extremely lovely art…..
Here’s this week’s batch of new and colorful ACEO paintings. What is an ACEO? In short, it is an artist trading card that is for sale (not trade). Still confused? Read more here.
So, trading card sized art…why so small, Lauren?Because it’s easy, folks. Seriously. Thanks to friend, musician, and artist Kristie Stremel for my new tag line: You get it small or not at all.
It’s true – you either get it or you don’t. I make small art. It feels good to me and that’s what I do. There are a lot of benefits to small art; takes up little space, is very affordable, has the unique quality of drawing the viewer in for a close look, is extremely portable, gift-able, store-able, and most of all it is just plain cool. Small is cool – think cupcakes….mini golf….compact cars – all extremely cool, right? See, so are my small original watercolor paintings. Go see what’s in stock right now and ready for you to own here. Now, if owning an original is not really something you feel is necessary I have over a hundred small prints to choose from too.
