Etsy Coupon + Pigeons of Anselmo Pastel Painting

Dear Art Lover,

      If you are like me at all, you may have been wondering how life will change with this shared-across-the-world threat.  Back in February, my friends at Atelier Marega in Venice (Venezia), Italy, encouraged me to start an Etsy shop. 

     I decided that it could be a great way for me to get my art into more people’s lives, while also helping a fabulous printer in Venezia recover from the flood damage of 12 Nov. 2019.

     As of this writing, there are 62 items in my shop, all in categories in a listing on the left edge of the page to help you find what interests you. 

     I have been focusing on DIGITAL DOWNLOADS.  That means that for less than $10, you may receive formatted files of different sizes from a variety of figure drawings and small painting studies and pastel works that are ready for you to print out for personal use, as you like.

      It is pretty cool that Etsy gives me a platform to make it easy to share my art with you… and I want to give you an extra enticement to help my shop along: 

      Here is a coupon for a 15% savings when you spend anything over $25 US.  Just a click away.

And let me know if you have any requests!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Something else new is an instructional video for a pastel painting.

     See the post on May 10 and watch the creation of “The Pigeons of Anselmo.”  Or watch it on youtube at:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibbgaGASees

The Pigeon of Anselmo - Castelvecchio

     That is it for now.  I hope that you are managing well and finding some joy and maybe even some balance in your new life now.

Take care and chin up,

Thank you for allowing my art in your life.  Stay tuned!

Patreon Post: Matilda New Horse Drawing Art Process

Hello ART lover!

   Despite working on my taxes, I still save part of the day to make art.  You may see my newest project started here.  

https://www.patreon.com/posts/matilda-charcoal-35984111

This post will become available to the public after 20 April, so no worries if you are not interested in investing.
I will share that all patrons support funds go towards any available Borsheim Art Works, should you ever choose to become a collector.  Also, all patrons receive a 10% savings on your purchase.  I truly appreciate your support, especially in this time of lockdown.  Patron support starts at 2 US dollars per month, and the levels go up in a Fibanacci sequence, because I am weird like that.
Start and stop at any point.

Thank you so much!
Saluti,

Kelly Borsheim

Manifest Gallery:  DRAWN

My charcoal drawing of Valentina, “Memories of Venice,” was chosen as one of the works in Manifest’s DRAWN exhibit, slated to happen this month.  As many businesses the world over, they persist and bring to you their event in virtual mold.  From the crew at Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio:

FOUR NEW EXHIBITIONS!

MANIFEST'S EARLY SPRING SET:

INCLUDING THE 7th ANNUAL DRAWN EXHIBITION

Featuring 61 works by 41 artists from 18 states and 3 countries.

Chime in for a Virtual Reception on Friday, April 17, 7-9pm, Cincinnati, Ohio Time:

This is the second time that my charcoal drawings will be included in DRAWN, a repeating exhibit at Manifest in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

 Etsy:  Art to enjoy NOW! Digital Downloads

     On my new Etsy shop, I began to create some DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for you to enjoy some art in the comfort of your home, without travel or having to wait to receive the image.  Choose the images you like and print what you like, but for personal use only.

Check out my new offerings: 

https://www.etsy.com/shop/BorsheimArtsStudio

     I am in the process of creating more digital downloads, including art PROJECTS for you to do at home, trying hard to balance with the creations of physical work since I still have a solo show coming up in Italy.  It was slated for a 9th of May opening, but may be delayed.  That just means that I may continue to create new pieces for it.

     Please note that many of the images on my Etsy shop have watermarks (text over the image to prevent downloads without purchasing.  A girl has to pay rent after all...). However, nothing but my usual signature will appear on the art you receive.

Aw, come on, be courageous and become my very first buyer here:

Vasily Fedorouk:  Dream

      I love the sweetness in the expressions that Vasily carved on his marble figures.  His cloud series is one of his most charming.  I love how his shapes make me FEEL the soft curves in the figure, so touchable.

Please see more of his work here and by all means, let any of the available artworks bring you joy by adding them to your own art collection.

Patreon ~ Become a Patron of the Arts

If you enjoy the behind the scenes experiences of the art life, and to get sneak peeks into the new art being created, you may find it feels good to become a patron at any level, starting at $1 US per month.  My neighbor quipped once that "It takes a village to raise a Kelly."  hahah... I think she may have a point sometimes, but I hope that I give something back with the way I live my life.

ANOTHER BENEFIT:

Patreon does a great job of making it easy for me to see the total contributions of a single patron. Thus, I offer you this: If at any time you wish to buy or commission a work of art from me, NOT ONLY will I allow each BorsheimArts supporter via Patreon to enjoy a 10% savings on my art, but I will also apply ALL of your Patreon balance paid to me, as listed in my patron account towards your chosen work of art. It is totally your choice as to whether or not you wish to take advantage of this offer, but I hope that you will.

My sweet nephew Levi has an Easter birthday this year.  He is four years old.  This newsletter is dedicated to him and I hope he flies like the Duet above.

Happy Birthday, Levi!
