There are a couple of 20 x 16” bird prints left in the nest. Message me and I’ll send you the details. 💌 🐦 About the print: After many kindly nudges to make prints of this last spring I asked one of the owners in Texas— my mother— to take the painting to an art scanner. And viola, I’ve had a limited run of fine art giclée prints made here in Seattle. I’ve signed the border and they’re ready to mail. The image is printed on Hahnemuehl Fine Art Baryta paper, a heavy archival paper with a slight sheen to match the quality of the painting. Let me know if you’d like one and I can send it right away. 🐦 🐦 🐦 🐦 🐦 #giclée #giclee #gicleeprint #paintingsofbirds #oilpainting #birdpainting #animalpainting #bird #birding #flamingo #oilpainting #birding #birds #pink #feathers #roseatespoonbill #birdsofinstagram #birdsoftexas #giftideas #birdwatching #allaprima #melissamesser #seattleart #seattleartist #artprintsforsale #holidaysale #comtemporaryart #realistart #naturepainting
“Lemon Branches” prints sold out for now. If you’d like one, message me and I’ll put you on the list for the next run. 💌 🍋 When I made the Roseate Spoonbill prints in May a lot friends asked “what about the lemons?!” Fair enough, I said I’d make them in the fall and by the view from my windows it’s never been more fall! I ordered a limited run of 24 x 12” fine art giclée prints with a 1” signed border from the same folks who did a gorgeous job on the Spoonbill. 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 #stilllifepainting #vanitas #oilpainting #classicalart #traditionalart #realistpainting #naturalism #flowerpainting #floralpainting #naturepainting #natureart #yellow #aristidesatelier #seattle #seattleartist #seattleart #traditionalpainting #artcollector #paintingsforsale #artprints #artprintsforsale #naturamorta #lemons #lemon #lemonade #paintingwithatwist #paintingfromlife #painting #fineart #🍋
I’m trying to get quick morning sketches in at live model sessions while working on bigger projects. Love leaving with a done ✅ sketch and going back into the studio to face the beast 👹— a large multi figure portrait. What do you do to keep up momentum and stay sharp during larger projects? • • • • • #portrait #portraitdrawing #portraitsketch #drawingfromlife #lifedrawing #charcoalportrait #charcoaldrawing #nitramcharcoal #productivity #lifehacks #creativeprocess #artlife

"Portrait of Ignatius Sancho after Allan Ramsay" 20 x 26 inches. Finally varnished and ready for delivery to @capitolcider. Sancho (1729-1780), a man of the arts, was a composer, writer and actor. Known politically as a greatly influential abolitionist and one of the first of African heritage to vote in a British election. After I posted the study last week @anfeargorm4 told me check out the on @chinekeorchestra YouTube. Please listen to his minuets, they’re wonderful! • #ignatiussancho #classicalcomposer #portraitgallery #chinekeorchestra #mastercopy #allanramsay #portrait #exetermuseum #ramm #blackhistory #portraitpainting #abolishionist #ramm #historicalfigure #history #historicalportrait #historicalpainting #artist #hero #oilpainting #composer #artcollector #capitolcider #fineart #fineartportrait #britishhistory
