Saint Patrick's Day marks the one year anniversary of my association with Fine Art America. I have now uploaded 76 images of my paintings, collages, photography and digital creations to this website, making the works available for purchase as prints, stretched prints on canvas, framed prints, and notecards. I plan to remove some of these works from the site and continue to add new ones in the coming year. Many of the works I painted and sold earlier are not shown here. I hope to add some of these in the future. I will continue to feature Time Limited Promotions on occassion and urge you to sign up for the Artwork feed ( free service that updates you via your email, when something new is uploaded for this artist.) or Blog Feed.

I recently added a new Gallery on Fine Art America called Original Paintings under $1250. U.S. These originals are now on sale at the price listed. Of course, authorized prints may still be purchased of all of these through fineartamerica.com I am happy and thankful to also announce that this week one of my prints also sold through this online website from the Florida 2011 series:" Sarasota, Lido Key." When a work sells or a new one is added, I try to move it and feature it at the top of my Artworks page. My newest work added yesterday is called "Drink It In". http://fineartamerica.com/featured/drink-it-in-karen-francis.html
