Wow, that's one of my favorites so far!

You should consider making up some prints of one of your paintings someday, so that those of us who are too poor to buy the real thing can get one. :)

Thanks! I don't know how to go about making prints. This local printer once made prints of one of my paintings at cost, but that was a favor for my father. Its always seemed so costly when there's no guarantee anyone will ever buy one.

Incidentally its this one:

And an artist friend here in Montana just makes "prints" by doing color Xeroxes of her smaller works. They turn out better than you might think.

I'm selling them for the low, low price of $40 plus shipping. I have no idea how much shipping is, but I suspect it wouldn't be too bad in a tube, more if you wanted it flat. I have to warn you though, they're big. The original painting was 24x36, and the prints are a little bit smaller, like maybe 20x32 or something. The problem with big prints is it's costly to frame them. I frame my own on the cheap by cutting my own mat and using aluminum sectional frames, and it costs anywhere from $60-$80 for that monster! But let me know if you want one! :)

I can always make computer prints on nice paper of the photos I take. But I can only make them 8x10, cause that's as big as my printer makes them.

Hmm ... well, the price is more than reasonable, but I just don't have a spot left in my house for something that size. :(

Have you tried ordering larger prints from Shutterfly or something? That might be another option ...

Yeah, the size is always an issue! I've heard there are places that do prints (and only if someone orders them), but I've yet to check any of them out.
