October

Please forgive the lack of auction postings. I am totally focused on painting for my upcoming solo exhibition in October at Monsoon Gallery in Bethlehem, PA, Unveiled ... The Anatomy of a Painting.

I will begin posting auction pieces again in October or November.

If you want to follow the progress of the paintings for the show, visit my either my blog, Before The Curtain Falls or my website ChrisCarterArt.com

Priorities

Forgive my lack of posting little paintings on eBay.

I am currently working madly at completing a significant body of work for my upcoming solo exhibit at Monsoon Gallery, Bethlehem, PA in October. Due to the time-intensive technique of glazing which requires each layer to be totally dry before the next glazing, I am working on twenty seven paintings simultaneously and having the time of my life playing with color nuances. The small color studies I posted on eBay have been put on the back burner. It is thanks to those little color studies that these large canvases are full of life and energy.

If you would like to follow the progress of the new series, please visit my blog Before the Curtain Falls.

I will not be posting paintings on eBay on any sort of regular schedule until November.

Early Spring Cleaning of Studio

My intention was to list only original paintings on eBay (and on this blog). I no longer produce Limited Edition Giclee Prints of my paintings. While reorganizing my studio I found that I still have a small inventory that needs to either be disposed of or listed for auction or sale on my new Etsy store. I plan to list a few prints each month. When they are gone.....they are gone.
