SALLY MARTIN'S AFFORDABLE ART AFFAIR
Day 4
As a challenge to paint more successfully on a smaller scale, earlier this year I undertook a project to create 100 paintings in 100 days. The process was a revelation and I now realize I miss the daily deadline, it seems to really intensify and focus my creative drive! Another benefit is that is allows me to experiment with new media, dip in to other subject matter and create small artworks that I can offer at very affordable prices.
So, here I go again .......
Day 4
£95
8x6inch
oil on canvas board
Another favorite theme for me is painting subjects 'contre jour' or against the light. It is a wonderful opportunity to explore the real colour in shadows, it is easy to think it must be just a darker version of the object colour, but then you look and keep looking and are amazed by all the factors that affect shadow, colour...intensity of light, surrounding colour, bounced light and atmosphere are some of the main players. In this piece it was a joy to play the blue shadows against the green background and adding the final highlight colours really makes everything sing!
About my Affordable Art Artworks
My subject matter will be mainly equestrian, with some figurative, still life and landscape included.
Sizes will vary, I will post full details with each image.

Conditions of purchase from The Affordable Art Gallery
Please understand colours may vary slightly between the actual painting and the image on your screen
due to my digital camera's results and your monitor.
Box canvases can be displayed framed or unframed. Canvas panels will need framing , in paintings where I have worked right up to the edge of the canvas I recommend 'float' framing so the edges remain uncovered by the frame. Works on paper will require mounting, glazing and framing, the image size is the mount board aperture size I suggest for the image.
Works are sold on a first come first served basis, as I am not always able to immediately update the sales status occasionally paintings become twice sold, in which case I will immediately refund the payment. I make every effort to avoid such occasions.
Money Back
If the painting is returned within 30 days of the buyer receiving it, Sally Martin will return money paid minus fees (PayPal /Credit card) and shipping.
The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.

Is it still available? I'm in the US so I don't know the shipping costs or cost in US dollars but would love to consider it.

thank you for your kind comment.
Yes it is still available and I do not charge extra for US shipping, these are light and stout enough to send airmail. Not sure what the exchange rate is currently but I think you will be nicely surprised! You have a purchase option in pounds via Paypal in my Affordable Art Affair Gallery on the website.
Thanks again
Sally
