mini encaustic painting by StephG available on Etsy
So I was thinking, maybe you’ll have some extra cash hanging around after the holidays and decide you want to invest in some art. Well, the age old medium of encaustic would certainly be a great place to start, and I just happen to have a bundle of lovely little encaustic paintings for sale in my Etsy shop here. Prices are very reasonable, too! Nothing over $300!

Or maybe your budget is even less elastic and small gestural paintings are really more your thing. I can help you in that case as well. I have a second Etsy shop where the price limit is currently $25 or less! Wow indeed! You really can’t beat that.
In case you’re curious, most of the proceeds from the sales I make will be going directly to pay off an ever-expanding vet bill. My feline companion Stumpy whom I’ve introduced you to in the past has fallen ill, and, as a result, he’s moved in with us. He’s suffering from a disease of the mouth which is apparently not understood all that well yet. That makes treatment a bit hit or miss. At times (like now) he’s in too much pain to even eat. He’s had four teeth removed and the remaining ones cleaned, polished and treated with fluoride. He’s had several courses of antibiotics, a steroid shot and we’re currently trying to manage his pain with a topical opiate we rub into his little ears three times daily. It doesn’t help that he’s FIV positive. So you see, buying art from me right now is like killing two birds with one stone. Add to your beautiful art collection and help out the sweetest little Manx you could ever meet! Really. He even snuggles up against me on his side under the covers for bedtime stories! Stumpy the spooning wonder!
Thanks for reading.
