Studio Tour Weekend – July 23 & 24

The 2022 Garrett County Artist Studio Tour is a week from today – the weekend of July 23 and 24th.

Visit me at my studio, open from 11 am to 5 pm on both days.  The tour book uses handy QR codes to help you navigate from stop to stop.

Please stop by to see new art and say hello. I look forward to seeing you!

If you’re unable to make next weekend’s event, but would like to check out the new art, I’d be happy to set up another viewing time for you. You can contact me here.

Below is my profile page in the tour book, along with the QR code. Thank you to curlyred for designing the brochure for The Council.

Holiday Gift Ideas

It seems like everyone is getting into the holiday spirit early this year. If you’re in that mode and are interested in purchasing original art, cards or prints for the holidays, here is everything you need to know.  

New for 2020

New for this year, I’m offering gift certificates. Gift certificates can be used towards any original art, prints or cards that are purchased directly from me. They are not able to be used for purchases through the Garrett County Arts Council, Fine Art America or independent retailers.

Western Maryland

My hand-signed greeting cards can be purchased at the Garrett County Arts Council.

I also have some original art, prints and cards on display at the gift shop inside Penn Alps, next to Spruce Forest Artisan Village in Grantsville.   

Online Purchases

Original art

Browse original art at my Artwork Archive gallery.

Please get in touch at rhyonke@gmail.com if you’re thinking about a purchase for the holidays.  We will be shipping original art out the week of December 7th, so plan now if you’d like to have something in time for gift giving. 

Trout Prints

These trout prints make a great gift for your favorite angler or outdoors-person.

Fine Art America

Much of my work is now posted at my Fine Art America site, and all of it is available for purchase in prints and cards. 

Prints

The high quality prints come in up to 15 different sizes and you can customize them with hundreds of mat and framing options.  The site allows you to sort through a variety of mats and frames, previewing your image with your selected choices.  The prints also arrive framed with the supplies that you will need to mount them onto your wall.  

Cards

While all of the images are available to print as cards, I set up a Christmas Card gallery, featuring cards like “Santa”, for easier holiday card browsing.   The card size is 5″x 7″ and they include a white envelope.  You can imprint a custom message inside the card, which I think is a nice feature.   When you click on the greeting card, make sure you choose the drop down box to indicate your quantity of cards, as the price drastically reduces the more cards that you buy. 

You can find information regarding Fine Art America shipping here.  As with any holiday gift, I would recommend you get started with your plans sooner rather than later. 

Other fun products.

Fine Art America also offers other fun ideas for gifting like phone cases, yoga mats and tote bags.

Thank you in advance if you’re considering a purchase.  It is always an honor and I appreciate your business.

Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County on Fine Art America

While organizing Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County themed art for the virtual tour, we created a gallery for this work on Fine Art America as well.  In addition to the artwork featured in my Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County original art sale, you will also find images of originals that have sold.  Click here to visit the gallery. 

If you like one of my images, but the original is not available in your preferred size or material, you could consider making a print of the picture.

For example, The Edge, pictured below, is an original on paper sized at 9″x12″.  Fine Art America offers it in a canvas print as large as 22″x30″.

If an original such as Cutting Edge, measuring 3’x4′, is too large for your liking, it can be purchased in smaller sizes and formats.

Other fun products include phone cases, tote bags and shower curtains to name a few.

Finally, I wouldn’t necessarily call it a “fun” product, but if you are in the market for a creative face mask, they offer those as well.

Have some fun browsing the gallery.  If you see an image, but don’t see it as the product you are looking for, please let us know at rhyonke@gmail.com.

 

Win Five Artist Greeting Cards

In case you missed it, I sent out an email newsletter last week. In it, there is a trivia question. The first person to send me an email at rhyonke@gmail.com with the accurate answer wins these cards.

I’m still waiting for a winner!

Here’s the link to the newsletter if you want to give it a shot.

There’s no catch. Be the first one to answer the question, and we send you these cards, hand signed by me, at no cost to you!
