Monthly Art Journal Newsletter

Many years ago, before computers, I built a list of people interested in my work. At the beginning of show season, I mailed a postcard with a new painting on it and a list of the shows I would be attending. This list evolved into an email list, and about once a month I send out an update.

This is the repository for the Art Journal Newsletter emails, in case you missed one.

Daniel Ambrose Gallery: New Online Store

by Daniel Ambrose on December 12, 2011


Happy Holidays!

Do you need a unique Christmas gift?

I’ve created a new online store for my prints, note cards, and small study paintings at Daniel Ambrose Gallery.

There is more to come, meanwhile, my son Zack has packaged up my note cards for it and I’ve added a few prints and small originals for unique Christmas ideas.

You can also purchase gift certificates redeemable for anything in the store.

The cart is functional and secure and I appreciate your visiting. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, send me an email.

If you order now, shipping on note cards is free until Christmas!

Hope to see you around.
As always,
Daniel

Crossnore Gallery Show

by Daniel Ambrose on July 18, 2011

I’m in the mountains of North Carolina this month painting for a show at Crossnore Fine Arts Gallery.

Below are 3 plein air paintings from around the area and a large Florida piece I brought up with me. There are about 30 Florida and North Carolina paintings in the show, everything from small plein air studies to large oil paintings and exquisite egg temperas.

The reception is this Saturday, July 23, 5-7 pm. Crossnore Fine Arts Gallery, Crossnore, North Carolina. For more information call Heidi at 828-733-3144.

Proceeds from the art sales fund the Stepping Stones program for the children of Crossnore School, and as a non profit entity are partially tax deductible. You can learn more about the amazing, inspiring work these folks are doing for disadvantaged children here.

Later I will post the gallery collection on line. So if you can’t make the show, yet still interested in owning a painting, consider that every time you see it hanging on the wall, you’ll experience the joy of knowing you made an inspiring connection, a real difference in a child’s life. A beautiful painting helps a beautiful child. Art is a beautiful thing, art is love.

Hope to see you.

As always,

Daniel

New Florida and North Carolina Egg Temperas

Here are some new egg tempera paintings I’m working on for my upcoming show next month at the Crossnore Gallery in North Carolina. At this stage of progress I’ve applied  so many layers of translucent paint that carpal tunnel is setting in. I’ll paint the final layers next which will begin to interact with the [...]
