This is the perfect time to get your tax deductible gift giving investments. (Please read Sunday, November 27, 2011 NY Times article on the Lauder Art Collection) Don't miss your opportunity to add or start your own collection. Begin with mini-prints and as you increase your interest add small originals. Buying unframed art let's you custom frame to your interior decor.

Coming in 2012:
• Why buy art? I will be writing an article in January 2012 on the art of art collecting.
• New art classes in New Jersey.
• New courses at NYBG.
• East Coast - West Coast workshops.
• Special exhibition in NYC and much more.

For this holiday season I will be posting a new excerpt for my book Sumi-e Painting II. "Painting with hand ground mineral pigments." Coming soon.

 

 "Cardinals on Pine with Thistle"
