ARRRRRR, It 'Twas A Jolly Good Month!

It was one of those joyful, eventful months, 

full of autumnal days which occur even 

more perfectly in memory than in life.

I didn't do much painting this month, except for the past

 week, when some Halloween images were just begging

to be released from their alcohol inky backgrounds.

Paintings inspired by the season. Email Sandy@SandySandy.com for purchase info.

And WOW! I didn't expect this award from the Alcohol Ink Artists Group on facebook. 
I'm touched and have never won a medal before.

"And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, 

finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, 

sermons in stones, and good in everything."

When witches go riding and black cats are seen,

the moon laughs and whispers,‘tis near Halloween.

From "The Birds" / 1963 Horror film

"I think we're in real trouble. I don't know how this started or why, 

but I know it's here and we'd be crazy to ignore it... The bird war, 

the bird attack, plague - call it what you like. They're amassing 

out there someplace and they'll be back. You can count on it... 

Unless we do something right now!"

Here's a short explanation of why you haven't
seen many blog posts from me lately . . . .

October was a month full of fun and excitement here at The Sandarosa.

It started off with my parents' two week visit and our annual art event here at the studio. Then my sister, Gaile, from Florida, visited in the middle. And our friends, Dorrie and Dave's visit topped off the end. There were so many laughs, games, celebrations, great food, day trips and adventures along the way! 

Cap'n Happy and Scallywag Sandy Celebrate The Season With Piratude!

ARRR! Cap'n Happy an 'yers truly was out spreadin' the Piratude and celebratin' the season this year at both Harrah's and Borgota Casino parties in Atlantic City! The costumes and decorations were phenomenal.

I've got lots of photos taken over the past month on facebook here. If you can't see them, send me a friend request.

I hope you are enjoying your fall season too. 

Happy creating and remember to enjoy the little things!

Last weekend was a huge success despite the 

nasty weather on Saturday. Sunday was sunny and we hung some older work outside.

Everything's looking really good for this weekend's 

(10/18 & 10/19/14)

SANDAROSA STUDIO SUPER SAVINGS EVENT!

Saturday is supposed to be sunny with a high of 70 and Sunday will also be sunny but a bit cooler. Come out to the country and enjoy the giveaways, freebies, food, drinks, incredible discounts and of course the beautiful fall foliage. No purchase is necessary to come and sign up to win an original painting!

I've been busy all week, matting and framing more work to put on display at lower than ever, once a year prices! You know, it's not too early to start thinking of the holidays and some very special one of a kind gifts! (Time is flying by and there are only 68 days until Christmas.)

"Your art was not opened until Chrismas Day 

and they were clearly the most powerful gifts under our tree. 

Again - thanks for sharing your awesome talent."

I hope to see many of you come visit us in the Pines this weekend!

I want to thank all my collectors who attended last weekend's 

SUPER SAVINGS EVENT!

This coming weekend looks like it's going to be perfect weather, so come out on your way to the Cranberry Festival 

or just come here and avoid the crowds all together.

Some Classic Sandy Sandy work

Watercolors, acrylics and oils, oh my!

Sometimes it takes years before a painting finds a happy home!

Last Saturday was cold and rainy so the show was held exclusively in the studio, but on Sunday the sun came out, so we set up panels with more of my classic work outside.

I am taking appointments for private showings all this week, so if you can't come this weekend and would like to see my large selection of work, please give me a call at 609-268-9106 or shoot me an email at: Sandy@SandySandy.com.

I AM ALSO EXTENDING THESE ONCE-A-YEAR DISCOUNTS TO ALL ONLINE SALES!

Super Savings Event Off To A Great Start

"Fine art is that in which the hand, 

the head, and the heart of man 

go together."  

~ John Ruskin

The weather was rainy and cold for the first day (10/11/14) of our 4 day show, so everything was set up inside. Here are some photos of our studio set-up. Nine paintings found new homes today. Yeah! Tomorrow, Sunday, Oct. 12th, promises to be sunny and warmer, so we'll be putting more classic paintings up on panels under our tent in the yard.

Newer pieces hang on the display panels and studio walls.

Some desktop originals.

My clients always tell me stories about how these 

make such great one of a kind gifts!

I have a large selection of classic 

and newer Southwest themed originals too!

And of course some Halloween paintings!

We still have a collection of snowmen 

that are looking for good homes!

I have a large selection of matted originals 

ready to put into new frames.

Anyone who stops by can enter to win an original painting. 

No purchase is necessary!

I've got a large inventory of prints and originals, 

all at once a year savings! So come on by our
Super Savings Sales Event tomorrow. 

I guarantee you won't be sorry!

Have a good one!

My sister and I are having a good time with my mom and dad on their visit to NJ. We toured Philadelphia yesterday and saw all the sites via the BIG BUS. It was a bit chilly sitting on top, but we all had a very good day.
