Wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving.

We are having a Memphis Premiere Screening on Tuesday, October 29 at the MALCO at Wolfchase Galleria Mall at 7 PM of CHRISTMAS RIDE. I wrote the screen play and my company Art Promotions produced it in cooperation with Yarbrough Media Productions.
This is a one time showing. Tickets are $6.00 -- Purchase in the lobby Oct. 29. Carousel entrance. Dramatic family feature film. Buy your tickets night of the showing in the lobby.

I signed up for the new offering from fineartamerica which is DesignerPrints.com. They enable designers who wish to order large quantities of prints to get a discount on the price of their purchase. Hopefully the higher numbers sold will make up for the lowered prices on the part of the artist and FAA.

Here is a new short video I filmed a couple of years ago and edited recently. It's called Perspective. I think other artists will have an appreciation of it especially.

Here is an editing experiment I hope you will enjoy.

Two new works, both poster options.

One of my paintings is in a new family feature movie called CHRISTMAS RIDE. Here is the one minute trailer for it uploaded from my YouTube channel blessings427. Hope you enjoy it and will find it playing at a theater near you this holiday season.

What will they think of next?!! Now FAA through their sister clone site, Pixels.com, has added the product offering of iPhone cases to fit 4/4s and 5 models featuring the art of the FAA artists. You can find a crop to size version at Pixels.com by searching on the artist name or by going to the print of your choice on Pixels.com.

And Happy Fourth of July!

This afternoon I added some painting digital images to two online FAA groups. One group is facebook based, set up as a fan page. The other is an art news publication, and both prefer paintings to digital based art images. Earlier today I was working on the film Christmas Ride, the "larger canvas" I'm exploring for a while, which amazingly enough can be projected on giant screens or downloaded to handheld devices the size of a playing card. The lead female character is an artist and her co-lead is a veteran. Would greatly appreciate more Likes on this page: http://www.facebook.com/ChristmasRide from other artists who read this. This film is due out last quarter of the year and is in post production now. Many people from around the Memphis area, especially in Covington, TN have given of their time and talent to make this movie. There is more detail at http://www.artprofilms.com and lots of pictures at the IMDb website: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3862096/resumephotos I'm genuinely inspired toward abstraction when I look at the editing screen images.

Abstracts, surreal, en plein air impressionistic landscapes, symbolic and even an apple were added today to the compilation of works by Karen Francis on Fine Art America. In the Gallery section these paintings are sorted by the decade they were first created, as well as by style. Many are available for the first time as prints. Image count now equals 124 though some have been removed and others left out. These are for sale, you know. . . .Prints come with a 30 day satisfaction or money back guarantee from FAA.
