The first eleven images are of "Secret Alameda" landscapes, mostly in and around my home on our island here in the San Francisco Bay. The second ten cards are of all kinds of dogs and cats, mostly, but also the occasional chicken and horse, in landscapes and interiors both real and imagined.
Over the years I have created several different small sets of greeting cards from my paintings, but this year I decided to create a true "line" of note cards for retail sale from a selection of my gouache landscapes and pet portraits, with blank interiors for your personal message. They are handsome note cards, printed on 100% recycled stock, folding to 4.25" x 6", include white envelopes, and are individually wrapped in a protective clear sleeve. The suggested retail price at local stores is $3.00 per card, but for mail orders through me the cost is $4.00 per single card including handling and postage. Please inquire for costs of multiple card orders.
Here are eleven images for my Secret Alameda series of note cards:
Sunset, Crab Cove Lagoons
The Seawall, Crab Cove
Early Morning Back Gardens
From the Alameda Ferry
The Garden Gate
The USS Hornet
Night Scene, Santa Clara Avenue
The Oak at the End of the Road
The Ready Reserve Ships, Alameda Navy Piers
The Last Livery Stable
The Palms
And here are ten images of pets, in real and symbolic landscapes, also available as greeting cards:
Nell Gwynn, the Marmalade Cat
Pandora on the Turkish Sofa
Slater in Landscape
Study in Black and Fawn: The Artist's Pug
Teddy's Afternoon
Belinda, the Red Hen
Bernie on the Blue Armchair
