I can't believe it's been 10 years since I began painting on nautical charts! I went from local art league shows to popular outdoor art festivals across the state. From temporary exhibitions to having an original in The Boynton Beach City Hall's permanent collection. Some of the nautical chart paintings are displayed in every room of the Pelican Grand Hotel and I've heard sightings of the Water Leggings across the country (most recently all the way out in Park City, Utah).

Throughout all these changes, I actually never changed my pricing for paper prints... I know, crazy. I'm not increasing them today either! In fact, I'm about to give you the steepest discount on prints in the history of this business...

So, what is changing? Well, I've decided as I focus on homeschooling and painting commissions again (more on that next week), I won't be doing art shows for awhile. I also have a new set up with my long time printer, Photo Canvas Arts, to print and ship right as your orders come in. Some of you have received these prints already. They aren't part of the numbered editions of the past, which is why they are going to stay the same price instead of increasing. These are open editions with a printed signature.

The personally signed and numbered prints have just increased in value because of this change. However, I have hundreds in my house and no reason to hang on to them without any upcoming shows, so...

That leads us to this HUGE SALE, actually SALES. Here's how it will work:

Every Friday for the next 9 weeks, I'll be selling the prints I have left in inventory by subject. Today we'll start with sea turtles! While there might be many types of turtle prints left, there aren't many of each. You will need to act fast to get the one you want. For example, there are only 3 of the 11"x4" Lights Out Turtle prints (above), and only 10 of the 18"x24". There will also be some prints I found in storage that I thought were out of edition or have never been available online before. You have the next 3 days to grab the ones you want from the list below. After the sale is over, the inventory on my website will be replenished, but these are no longer personally signed and numbered.

Use code TURTLESALE for 35% off. You read that right, 35% from now until Sunday Night.

I hope you get the pieces you've always wanted and stock up on great Christmas presents for your loved ones at the same time!

And for an added bonus, I'll include a fun fact about each creature that I've learned recently from homeschooling. (My math skills are really improving too- I'm currently at a third grade level, ha ha).

Did you know that the green sea turtle got its name because its fat is green?! Even though they begin their lives as an omnivore, they become mostly herbivorous. They eat so much greens their fat turns green... wonder if veggies do the same to us?

See you in the water,
