Hi Everyone
This is another step in my movement forward as a solo person. It took me more than a year, but I finally have selected 6 original paintings of Nancy's to have matted, framed and they will hang in the cabin at CORA. I'm actually going to Colorado Springs tomorrow to do that.
I'm keeping the following original paintings:
Believe, Fortitude, Winter Cabin, Brown Trout, Tres Colores, Hope Floats.
This is Tres Colores, which is a actual building in Como, CO, which is a few towns away from CORA. It's a water color, on 140 lb paper, painted en Plein aire with Cat Roberts, a local artist, friend and mentor of hers on August 10, 2014. Kat was one of the people that energized Nancy to paint.
The originals I've chosen represent the various mediums she used, as well as significant subjects to me. A few of you have asked to purchase some original art over the last year and I have been reluctant to part with it. I believe she would want people to enjoy her paintings, rather me have them in her portfolio hiding in a closet. So you can view the paintings on www.nancyraimondiart.com. The prices for reproductions are posted on the website, the reproductions for originals will still be available. I have a few of the reproductions and when placing them next to the original, it's difficult to tell the difference. Nancy sold many reproductions and I'm using the same fine art company.
The pricing for originals is $2.50 per square inch, so an 6 x 12 original is $180. I have her brief notes, such as included above, under Tres Colores, which I am happy to include with reproductions or originals if wanted.
This blog is read by close friends, so I thought this would be the best way to give friends first shot at the originals. Shipping and Handling is free.
If anyone has any of Nancy's reproductions, please feel free to comment as to the quality.
Tight Lines and safe Travels
I have a reproduction and I love seeing it. It makes me think if her overtime I get to gaze a view of it. Thanks Nancy!!!!
ReplyDeleteBelieve reproduction was matted & framed and hung along with another reproduction (sorry I don't remember the name) in my late husbands "resting" room. They were/are an inspiration and comfort of two very strong souls (David & Nancy) traveling a difficult road. Congratulations Larry on another step forward. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI have Nancy's "Sunflowers" as well as the notecards and so pleased to have them. She was very professional when it came to her art ... so glad she discovered her talent... I can sense her guiding me as I paint and miss her!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found CORA in good shape - great pic of the snow on Buffalo Peaks! Has been a chilly start to Spring around home, too. Opted to run propane rather than the woodstove for several days - wicked high fire danger again... Was glad when we got some soaking rain last week! Enjoy the views, the elk, the memories! Cindy and I maintain our own of you guys.
