Kristen Reitz-Green

This is my entry into the portrait exchange at Different Strokes From Different Folks, a wonderful site created by Karin Jurick. This is the second year that artists have sent in photos of themselves, and Karin matches the artists up and they paint each other. It is fun way to end the year.

This is the photo I received.



When I received it, I did not know who she was, but since she paints faster than I, the portrait she did has already been posted, and I now know that the lovely lady is, Kristen Reitz-Green. Check out her blog to see the great portrait she did.

Please contact me regarding availability and prices of any of my paintings. I will occasionally put some on eBay, but find that the cost of doing business with eBay and the lack of support for sellers has turned me off from using it much.

Frames

I love museums. There is something special about the large spaces, the quiet, the frames and most of all, the art, in all shapes, sizes and styles. To me, the paintings send out a vibration from the painter across the years, that is still alive in the image. It is something you can actually feel and witness as others are enveloped by the energy. A solitary figure in a large room such as this, is not really alone, for the artist is there also.

Contact me to purchase this painting for $500 (free shipping).
