I also plan to continue shipping artwork via USPS Priority Mail. But yesterday I received several Christmas cards postmarked Dec 7 and 8. And the day before I received a message from a customer irate that they hadn't received a coffee mug ordered around that same time, demanding a refund. </p><p>I have zero control over the progress of items in the custody of the mail service, nor do I have a crystal ball that gives me double-secret tracking info.

Period. No exceptions.

The slow-shipping mug is going to arrive at the unhappy person's house eventually. And the logjam at USPS will clear. Please be patient with the world and people in it, as we're all in uncharted waters.

I get sawtooth hangers at the hardware store. Measure to find the center of the panel. Glue the bracket on. (I use a hot glue gun.) Drive a small nail into the wall. Hang it up. The painting hovers on the wall, very modern looking.

Ready-made traditional frames are widely available, in a variety of finishes and styles. Acrylic and oil paintings should not be framed behind glass. Collages, watercolors, and drawings should be protected behind glass or plexi.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSMwwEYOmfp_4aWTGgQmQR3ut1o1UCLqJ8_GKJU3CvGzE8I_HMIKjqTipBSL1bUZhfeWw1DMeVwLQf6ITlDPewIH1h8upbZciRK13lWg3ybdlUXNehLV10UzqdLFTRpLhg1eFCClLH7hXa/s1195/Traditional+frame+example.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="590" data-original-width="1195" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSMwwEYOmfp_4aWTGgQmQR3ut1o1UCLqJ8_GKJU3CvGzE8I_HMIKjqTipBSL1bUZhfeWw1DMeVwLQf6ITlDPewIH1h8upbZciRK13lWg3ybdlUXNehLV10UzqdLFTRpLhg1eFCClLH7hXa/w625-h310/Traditional+frame+example.jpg" title="A traditional frame will obscure 1/4" of the image at each edge" width="625" /></a></div><p>The only drawback to a traditional frame is illustrated above. The red line shows how much of this 12 x 12 inches painting was obscured behind the frame's edge. The larger the painting, the less of a big deal this is.

A floater frame leaves at least a 1/8" gap between the frame face and the painting's edge, so no details are lost behind the frame's front edge. You will not usually see ready-made floater frames in retail stores, but they can be found easily enough online. (I have some links below.) </p><p>Keep a close eye on the depth (or rabbet height), though, when you are shopping. Ideally you want a 3/8" depth (rabbet height), but that is difficult to find in a ready-made frame. A wood or canvas panel will work fine in any frame with a 7/8” depth (rabbet height) or less. Know that with a deeper rabbet, your image will take on some shadow.</p><p>The main drawback to using a floater frame is the level of difficulty involved in mounting the panel in the frame. Ampersand, an art materials manufacturer, has put together an instruction sheet for framing with floaters. -- https://ampersandart.com/pdf/Ampersand-floaterframe-Instruction-Sheet.pdf</p><p>Floater frames around the web:</p><p>Affordable black floater frame -- https://www.webpictureframes.com/product4/3442/black-panel-floater-frame.html?action_id=set_artwork_size&action_data=6,6</p><p>Unfinished 3-pack of 6 x 6 inches floater frames on Etsy -- https://www.etsy.com/listing/684506877/tile-float-frames-6x6-unfinished-for</p><p>Variety of brands and finishes available from Blick -- https://www.dickblick.com/categories/framing/frames/float/</p><p>Available in many different finishes on Amazon -- https://www.amazon.com/Square-Floater-Canvas-Paintings-Stretched/dp/B08BH6DJ6J?th=1</p><p>My personal favorite online frame source is Franken Frames.

Hi there,<br />
I started a series of flower paintings when my mom asked for a painting of lilies for her birthday back in June. I made her painting and just kept on going. A dozen new paintings are in the shop now priced $100 each, which includes US shipping.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/bbmowery?section_id=29687634">SHOP PAINTINGS OF FLOWERS</a></b><br />
<br />
The Bloom & Grow exhibition at .Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center is up through August, and the main gallery is open to masked, socially-distanced visitors. I have a small painting of trees in the show.<br />
<br />

<br />
I’m taking a printmaking class in August though the Art Students League of New York. I’ll be posting pictures of my experiments to Instagram and Facebook. The pandemic is truly awful, but I am grateful for the sudden proliferation of online learning opportunities.<br />
<br />
As usual, I ship on Fridays. Stay safe!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Hey,<br />
I re-opened my shop today. I am still in the process of adding new work, but right now there are 177 pieces listed, so there are more than a few to choose from. Be sure to check out the folder of tree paintings and the new master studies. US shipping is included, and I ship Fridays.<br />

<br />
I am closing my Etsy shops (the artwork one & the printed gift shop) for the month of April. At least. Maryland is under a “stay home” order. Selling artwork is not a good enough reason risk the health of postal workers or the good people who make my prints or myself. The paintings will still be there later. Thank you for understanding.<br />

<b>NEW! - Painterly Gifts</b><br />
<br />
I moved all of my printed tote bags, mugs, and fanny packs to a separate Etsy shop --<b> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PainterlyGifts">Painterly Gifts</a></b> -- along with many new designs. But for the first time I'm also offering small, framed prints of several paintings. I will be adding to the selections in the gift shop each month. Check it out!<br />

Dear friends,<br />
There is nothing I love so much as emails from collectors expressing their joy upon receiving their artwork and showing me where my paintings are displayed in their homes. 2019 has been a very good year, and I am grateful for all the friendships and conversations.<br />
Thank you and best wishes to you in the New Year!<br />
Love,<br />
Barb<br />

<b>But wait, there’s more!</b><br />
<br />
Snow Hill's First Friday is full of holiday goodness. Stroll the streets of this beautiful small town and visit the restaurants, art galleries and small shops. Enjoy special offers, light refreshments, wine tastings, local musicians, street vendors, and much more.<br />
<br />
* Artist Stan Sperlak is the featured artist at the gallery tonight. His pastels celebrate the changing light from sunrise to sunset.<br />
<br />
* C. L. Marshall will also be at Bishop's Stock tonight signing his new book “Chesapeake Outdoor Tales.” His stories about hunting and fishing tell the ups and downs of outdoor experiences. A great gift for those who love life on the Eastern Shore!<br />

These landscape collages are place holders in my memory of the time I spent as Artist in Residence at Lacawac Sanctuary in Pennsylvania this summer. The <span style="font-size: 13.2px;">collages made out of hand painted paper. </span><span style="font-size: 13.2px;">The artwork will come to you mounted on white matboard, with acid free tape, and a backer board, inside of a clear, protective acetate envelope. They should be framed behind glass or plexi. I have matted and packaged them especially with ease of gift-giving in mind:</span></div>

<b>NEW! - Landscape Collages</b><br />
<br />
Hey all,<br />
Remember this past summer when I went to Lacawac Sanctuary in Pennsylvania to make art in the woods for a week? (Scroll down for a short video about it.)<br />
<br />
One of the projects that came out of that trip was a series landscape collages made out of hand painted paper. My husband confessed that he doesn't really like collages. But once I explained that, in my mind, they are simply paintings I had made using already dried pieces of paint, he gave them a second look. And I hope you will approach them in the same manner.<br />
<br />
SPECS: The price is $100 each. The images are 8 x 8 inches, and they are matted to fit a standard 14 x 11 inch frame. These are original pieces of artwork, not reproductions. I made them using painted paper and permanent glue on heavy Canson mixed media paper. The artwork will come to you mounted on white matboard, with acid free tape, and a backer board, inside of a clear, protective acetate envelope. This artwork should be framed behind glass or plexi. I have matted and packaged them especially with ease of gift-giving in mind, as we all have enough errands to run in the next 6 weeks.<br />
<br />
SHIPPING: Free shipping within the United States. USPS Priority Mail, fully insured. For Christmas delivery, please order by Dec 10th. I typically ship on Fridays.<br />
<br />
<strike>Once again, I'm giving you, my mailing list peeps, first dibs on the new work. I will not advertise these pieces on social media until Thanksgiving (Nov 28th). </strike><br />
<br />
Sound good? Check them out.<br />

I had the privilege of working in the pristine natural beauty of Lacawac Sanctuary in Lake Ariel, PA, as an artist in residence this summer. Here's a look at my time there. Enjoy!<br />
