Temporarily Pausing Shipping of my Artwork to the US

Image
Photo by Markus Winkler on Unsplash  Due to the US administration’s decision to end the de minimus exemption of tariffs on products under $800 on August 29th, more items entering the US will be subject to tariffs. There is uncertainty on whether the products I produce will be included.  I currently ship with Canada Post at fairly low rates. But Canada Post currently cannot include the price of duties with the shipping cost. They would have to be paid by the buyer when the item is delivered.  I looked into the cost of other shipping companies and I believe that their prices are too high, especially when the duty is added on. For these reasons, I will temporarily be stopping the shipment of my artwork to the United States until things become more clear, or the tariffs are removed. Thank you for your understanding.

A Day At the Beach, an oldie but a goodie!

Image
 Now that it's summertime, a lot of people are enjoying beaches and cooling off in the water. I thought this was the perfect time to re-introduce Kevin the seagull and his family! I wanted to call this one  "Kevin, Get Out of the Water, It's Lunchtime and Someone Dropped their French Fries!", but that title seemed a little bit too long!! 😂 So instead, it's titled A Day at the Beach.  While a lot of my collages are created with torn pieces of paper, for the background water and sand I used cut pieces to abstractly indicate waves and sand. I enjoy finding paper with words that match the subject. I used some maps, and music sheets and hand painted and printed paper for this fun piece.  I created this a couple of years ago and it makes me smile every time I look at it hanging in my studio. Just the look on the face of the seagull in the water makes me laugh! I hope it makes you smile too! A Day at the Beach 16 X 20 X 1.5" AVAILABLE IN MY ETSY SHOP!

Tenacity ~ Mixed Media

Image
This is certainly a departure for me...this is a mixed media piece, Masa paper on canvas, watercolour and fluid acrylics, a bit of ink, gauze, and spider webbing! It's 24" x 12", not framed. I'm going to enter it into a show called "On The Edge", and while it does represent a physical edge, it has also pushed me over a creative edge, which is a good thing! I have to say, it's hard to get a good photo. I took this one this morning, and you can see the shadows formed by the texture of the paper. Depending on the direction of the light, you get different shadows. It's also hard to see the metallic sheen of the gold and copper paint.
