Apri into May, It's Birthday Month Again!

Well, I'm happy to report that I had a much better painting month in April than in March! 

I've been using the new SoHo Heavy Body Acrylics that I told you about last month, which are much less expensive than the paint I was using before. I absolutely LOVE them! The paint is thick and juicy and goes on easily with both brush and palette knife. I couldn't be happier, and you can see the results in my work, which you can view down below the words. Don't skip over the words though, because it's my Birthday Month again and I'm having another Birthday Sale-abration!

Here are a couple of my favorite April creations, and as I said, there are more below. As you can see, the depth of color I'm getting with this paint is amazing!

Acadia Cliffs


Canyon Sentry

So, last year when I turned 80,  we celebrated big-time with the creation of an art book and a month-long sale. I remain grateful to all of you who joined the fun by making a purchase or just bothering to look at my work! 

If you do the math, you'll quickly figure out that I'm turning 81 this year! I think that deserves celebrating too, so I am having another sale. Throughout the month, I'll feature different things here, and Melissa will also share them on her Facebook page. 

The first Sale-abration is that I've created a DISCOUNT for purchases of items using my images over at Fine Art America. This is one of those sites where you can use my art to create things like tote bags, prints, t-shirts, coffee mugs, phone cases, beach towels - all sorts of fun things for yourself OR to give as gifts. We've created items ourselves and have found the quality to be really good!

The discount is 18% (that's 81 inside-out 🤣). 

This link will take you directly to my page. JR Secor on Fine Art America.

Use DISCOUNT CODE: JJKRBL to get the 18% discount when you check out.

I'll be sharing more about an upcoming 8" by 8" small painting sale, and special prices on all of my recent work throughout the month. In the meantime, have a look at what I did in April. As always, thank you for coming by, reading my words and checking out my work. You have no idea how much I appreciate it!
