New. Fleece Blankets in two sizes. Fine Art America just introduced FLEECE BLANKETS featuring my designs. So please select some images you love and order. I created a Collection with suggested images for the Blankets or Duvets. Featured image is a landscape painting called Belmont.

Lucky us. Fine Art America just introduced SPIRAL NOTESBOOKS featuring all our art images on the cover. So please select some images you love and order as school supplies, memo pads, city journals, and for stocking stuffers at Christmas. In my artwork, 184 images here, you can find images for the construction worker, and the painter, the gardner, the lyricist, the architect, the poet, and much more. Abstracts or representational selections are offered via the Collections or Gallery tab.

Our spiral notebooks are 6" wide x 8" tall and include 120 pages of lined paper. Artwork is printed on the front cover, and the back cover is medium gray in color. As always, custom printed art products come with a 30 day money back satisfaction guarantee.

I also uploaded a new painting recently called "Everlasting Vine." Your comments below the art image and purchases are greatly appreciated.

Finally, just the gift for the man who has everything, . . . Industrial strength, Strong as Steel Coffee Mugs. At this link you will find all the coffee mug images of my art: https://fineartamerica.com/artists/karen+francis/coffee+mugs I'm suggesting a set of four or six on a theme. Cups come in 11 oz and 15 oz size. Or just collect them all. . .

One new painting also added today called "Everlasting Vine."

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween. I've uploaded a new ID photo here today on fineartamerica.com in my pirate costume this year.
Have you noticed the NEW product offering of Yoga Mats here on FAA? I just created a collection (or gallery) of 15 artworks from the 185 I offer online. I feel these may be suited to this new product: YOGA MATS. Each custom printed art product includes the customary 30 day money back satisfaction guarantee.

The Yoga Mats materials are ECO friendly PVC with the art image on the front and a black textured dimpled back, the size is 24" x 72" and .25" thick.
Price for the Yoga Mat includes a black carrying case with shoulder strap. FAA accepts credit cards. You may need to click on another item such as a Throw Pillow in the design you are interested in, and then scroll down, in order to click through to the Yoga Mat (Additional Products) order page.

Some of the artworks in the Collection include Fusion Fun, Dixon Gardens, Lido Palm, Life Overflowing, Light in the Darkness White,
Memphis Street Scene, Planting a Dream, Place of Light, Seascape Abstracted, and Sweet Williams. Click the picture next to this blog post, or the link from the title https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/karen-francis.html?tab=artworkgalleries&artworkgalleryid=758043 to check out the collection.

P.S. I'm still adding short videos to my youtube channel at www.youtube.com/blessings427 which focuses on ART, film, travel and inspiration. I need a lot more subscriptions (they are FREE) in order to open up various producer bennies from YouTube. Subscribers receive notifications of new uploads, and occasionally access to videos otherwise not made public. Thanks.

(Memphis, TN) People often ask (sure they do:)), how can I be supportive of artists without spending any money? On fineartamerica.com there are many opportunities, such as writing a comment below images you like. Or, if an artist has the social media Share buttons Enabled on the page of an artwork that you have enlarged, you can Share the work to Facebook, Pinterest, Stumbled Upon, Twitter. This brings the work to the eyes of others who may be in a collecting mood.
In my case you can also Like these pages: http://www.facebook.com/ArtPromotions and http://www.facebook.com/ChristmasRide
Liking a page on Facebook gives you a notification of new posts from those pages, I believe.
Sometimes (for Friends) you need to have clicked on the drop down menu for the friend, and clicked on Notifications, in order to receive updates. Occasionally, perhaps during a software update by Facebook, some of those drop away, and you have to reset them.
You can also be supportive of me by subscribing to my youtube channel blessings427. Subscribing is free and then you are sent email notifications of new uploads to that page, if you have clicked the notification "bell" suymbol. My channel focuses on art, film, travel with videos I've made. It also includes clips and trailers for the PG rated feature film CHRISTMAS RIDE and Playlists on a variety of subjects, including ART by other video/film producers.
You can also attend and tell your friends about the art openings of artists you know. For example, I just learned that FAA photography artist Jon Woodham is having an art opening at the Library in Collierville, TN tomorrow, Saturday, July 11. http://fineartamerica.com/events/artist-reception-jon-woodhams-photography-exhibit.html
Thanks for your interest and support.

Memphis honors Elvis Presley during this week each year at the anniversary of his death. Since many artists have painted this singer, today I added a PLAYLIST of Elvis Paintings on my youtube channel blessings427. There are many speed painting demonstrations among the 11 videos there.

I recently traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico and Las Vegas, Nevada. The terrain is so different there than in the South. I found it very beautiful and inspiring. I also learned there is a Prague, Oklahoma as I drove the many miles from Memphis and back.
Naturally, I hope to paint from the photos I made and edit additional short videos for the youtube.com/blessings427 website where I upload them.
I added an Arizona artist to the ones I follow here on FAA because his paintings seem to capture the West quite beautifully.
This is an additional website for my company, Art Promotions: http://artpromotions.business.site/

Anyone who has had a good experience with my company is invited to write a review of it on Yelp. I understand they limit the information I can publish there until they have five verifying reviews from other Yelp members. Art Promotions is on Manta.com, Local.com and facebook.com/ArtPromotions too.

New art uploaded recently to fineartamerica.com Also I added additional videos to my you tube channel blessings 427 at https://www.youtube.com/user/blessings427. Hope you will subscribe to receive notifications of new uploads. Wishing you all a pleasant summer.
Speaking of Summer, my painting by that name has custom products offered through fineartamerica.com and pixels.com You can have Summer on a coffee mug, a tee shirt, TOWELS, and shower curtains to name a few.

Wishing everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day! Here's a link to the Spotlight: Happy St. Patrick's Day with Green Screen video on the Art Promotions youtube channel called blessings427. Here's the address or URL for it: https://youtu.be/pY95o3KzATk
I've moved some of my greener paintings and digital art up to the top of the art selection for the occasion.

Hope the New Year is starting up great for everyone. I've travelled through ice and snow and had huge car repair bills and my cell phones aren't working so well right now. Whine, whine. I'm delighted with all the new products offered through Fine Art America and Pixels.com for each piece of art.
I ordered a few as samples and gifts and now I've seen the little printed Onesies, for baby gifts; and the portable Battery Chargers which work with cell phones; as well as the Mugs in two sizes, Throw Pillows in various sizes, Duvet Covers (where you unzip it to fill it with a blanket); Shower Curtains; Towels, Zippered Pouches (like for pencils or makeup), and Multiple types of Tote Bags and T-Shirts. These two websites are all about offering CUSTOMIZED products in addition to Fine Art Prints. I hope you will discover a product to try, and hopefully select one of my artworks to go on it.
I'm sure you will be delighted, or you can return it for your money refunded within 30 days.
For those of you on Facebook, please check out www.facebook.com/ArtPromotions I also have a Shop Now page that synchronizes with my fineartamerica.com product listings at https://www.facebook.com/ArtPromotions/app_309028460694 linked from Art Promotions.
This page required adding a Fan page, so that is at https://www.facebook.com/artworksbyKarenFrancis/ which also has a link to the Shop Now.
I wish I could say all this has resulted in mind bending numerous art sales, but not so far. My main Facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/karen.e.francis1 and the public is also invited to Follow me there. Thanks.
