Small Business Saturday? Artists Sunday? It's up to you.

With the gift of art, everyone wins

Dear Friends,

The weekend after Thanksgiving is Small Business Saturday and Artists Sunday. I know you've heard it before, but with this crazy year nearing its end, I want to encourage you to buy local and handmade this gifting season. Of course I'll be thrilled if you decide my art is perfect for you or a loved one, but really there's so much great art out there and so many worthy artists to buy from. If we can, let's put money in the pockets of small business.

On that note, I've created a new under-$200 shop on my site. There's a dozen brand-new small originals, including Aviary and Cage Birds and Little Flowers paintings featuring California wildflowers. I also have note cards, prints, and a selection of pillows - I hope you'll take a look.

Are you on the lookout for bigger artwork? I have larger pieces in my originals shop and paintings in shows all over the Bay Area. And Artful Galleries in Austin is having a sale from now until the end of the year - several of my paintings are available exclusively through them.

Prefer to wear your art? Le Galeriste in Montreal is having a 30% off sale through November 30 - you can get printed designer masks, clothing, housewares and even gift cards.

Thanks for buying from small businesses, and above all, thanks for your support and encouragement.

Warmly
Heather
