100 Little Houses Online Pre-Sale
This is the online presale of all 100 Little Houses by Dar James which will take place on Saturday, June 4 from 12:00 noon until 8:00 p.m. EST. All 100 original works will be exhibited together on June 5 at my Art At The Barn show and the remaining unsold pieces will be available there. They are all either 6x6" or 4x8" and are 150 USD each.
THIS IS THE LINK WHERE THE SALE WILL BE HELD: http://www.darsworld.com/100-little-houses
If you purchase at the presale, your work will be shipped to you on or before June 24. Unlike some of my presales, there are no reservations for any of the pieces-- there is a lot of interest in particular pieces and there are just too many to keep track of and I wanted to give everyone who is interested a fair shot at shopping the entire collection. There are also many that are similar to each other so I hope that everyone interested finds one they love.
“HOME” is the product of my participation in the 100 Day Project of 2022. It is a colorful and serene celebration of the sanctuaries we seek, create and call Home. For each day of the project, I created an original, mixed-media piece on cradled board, often beginning them in a series so that many of the groups are joined by color, motif and design. The layers are experiments in creating illusions of depth with acrylic gel. The titles of each piece come from the pages of Jon Kabat-Zinn’s ‘Wherever you Go There You Are.’
