Hi everyone, this is just a quick reminder to let you know that I'll be showing at the Annual Holiday Craft Fair at the Somerville High School Field House on 81 Highland Ave in Somerville, MA from 9-3pm THIS Saturday 11/28/09. There will be a ton of vendors, food, raffles, prizes, and more! Free admission and parking. Bring the whole family and get a head start on your holiday shopping! I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving this coming Thursday. Eat lots of turkey. Thanks for tuning in!

HOLIDAY SHOPPING IDEAS!!!

So the Holiday Season is right on our front doorstep. If you've never done so before, try giving the gift of art ths holiday season by giving your loved ones an original oil painting, a print, or a commission piece that they will hold dear for the test of time. Believe me, it's a therapeutic experience giving the gift of art to someone else, whether it be family, friends, or co-workers :) Many people forget that art can be the most original and unique gift of all and is the perfect gift for those people that "already have everything".

I have plenty of original paintings, framed prints, giclee reproductions, and limited edition canvas prints for sale off of my website or you can come visit one of my 3 remaining holiday craft shows this Season before Christmas hits (check out the dates and locations below). I also welcome visitors to my art studio all the time if you'd like to see some artwork in person and get a feel for various canvas sizes and prices. Just shoot me an email or give my studio a call to schedule an appointment.

As far as commission work goes, I can paint from photographs that you provide or I can run with a concept that you've thougt of. I can paint any size and subject matter whether it be a tiny 11x14" portrait painting of a loved one or a 30x40" painting of your dog "Spike". I also do mural work as well and have painted entire rooms before from scratch to finish. I can paint your company's logo, a serene waterscape at twilight, your favorite fairy tale characters, whatever your project calls for. Please check out the commissions page on my official website at http://www.jjartworks.com/Commissions/index.htm to get a feel for the type of commission work I have done in the past. I can pretty much paint anything and everything of any magnitude, style, shape, or color. Also as an FYI, I know artwork can be expensive, so I always give customers the option of paying in installments and I also accept all major forms of credit cards (Visa, MC, & Discover).

The reason I am plugging my commission work so early in the holiday shopping season is because paintings take time to create and I need an adequate amount of time to "crank out the work" before December 25th if you so desire to hire me for a commission piece. No project is too large or small.

Cheers,

-J.J.

Hi everyone, so the Holiday Season is right on our front doorstep. Before we know it, Thanksgiving will be over and then we'll already have less than a month to cram in all of our holiday shopping.

Here are a couple of commission paintings I just finished last week. Let me know how you like the new work and I hope to see many of you at the Annual Holiday Craft Fair I'll be showing at this Sunday 11/15 at Temple Tifereth Israel in Malden, MA from 11am - 3pm.

Hi everyone, here is some newer work that I just finished this past October. Let me know how you like the pieces. The Cezanne Still Life paintings are actually oils on wood. The customer wanted me to recreate still life paintings of her favorite Old Master on her kitchen door cabinets. I thought it was something cool and unique that you don't see everyday. Once the cabinet doors are installed, I will update a pic of the completed kitchen for all to see. Thanks for tuning in. Newer work coming next week!
