Artisans' Alley

We had a highly successful experience at St. Paul Pioneer Days, marking our inaugural vendor engagement. We gained valuable insights and look forward to expanding our inventory and returning next year. St. Paul Pioneer Days

Busy weekend here at Artisans' Alley as we prepare for the St. Paul Pioneer Days next weekend. Getting canvases ready for resin, adding backing to our finished paintings, and building frames.
Stop by and see us on Sept. 13 and 14!

Life got a little busy the last couple months, but the frames are finally finished for "Liberty" and "Vermillion".

Another busy day in the studio!
Worked some acrylic pour magnets, other pour paintings and hand painted magnets.

Been busy in the studio tonight. Used multiple techniques to come up with these really neat acrylic pours. Look at that beautiful lacing!!

Oh Mickey you're so fine!! :)
Mini Mickey Mouse for a friend's desk at the office.
Acrylic on canvas with gloss finish

This cute little guy was painted for a friend to put on his desk in the office.

Oldies but goodies. These are a couple of my first acrylic on canvas.

W.I.P. Wednesday! Let's see those works in progress:)

We got our first official banner for when we start going to craft fairs!!

Sometimes things happen when you work with resin.. like flies or dust particles.... I forgot to cover Sunflower after I applied the resin.. Easy fix though. As Bob Ross said, no mistakes, just happy accidents. Just sand the top layer and clean off, then apply a new layer.

AVAIL "Blue Blossom" 8x10 acrylic on canvas with matte finish. Will come with handcrafted frame and covered back

Picking out the wood to use for framing Liberty. Decisions, decisions... Think I like the rough rustic looking wood in the middle.

We have been busy today! Two new pours. Same colors but different styles
Sunflower is on an 11x14 wood panel and used a blow technique.
The round one is on an approximate 12 inch board. Makes me think of a topographic map! :) I'm thinking about turning it into a clock.
Once the paints have set, both will be finished with resin.

Rick's current WIP. An outdoor kitchen countertop. Turning out pretty neat!

SOLD - WIP (work in progress) monochromatic mini paintings. Foggy pink forest and greyscale lighthouse. Still need to add a few details and finish with a matte varnish. Pretty happy with how they are turning out though!

New mini painting. Acrylic on canvas with matte finish. SOLD

Work in progress. "Liberty"
3 in 1 piece. Each triangle is 16 inches on each side. Acrylic pour. Will finish with resin and build a custom frame. Very happy with how this piece is coming along!

My newest painting, Vermillion Moon. It is an 11×14 acrylic on canvas with a gloss varnish. Just need to add the custom frame. Really loving how it turned out!!

Summer's Last Kiss is completely finished and framed in a beautiful cherry with white pine accent. She is shipping to her new owner this week!

This piece was inspired by a photo my sweet friend took of her front yard at sunset.

Started a new piece tonight!
'When Magic Happens'
It will take a couple months before it will be completed but I know it will be worth the wait!

When inspiration hits!!!
Have a pretty neat idea I want to try! It will be a 2 part pour so it will take a few weeks in between colors to dry! Very excited for this new piece!

We have our logo!!! Expanding out to Instagram also. You can follow us there at artisansalley_art!! So excited at the upcoming ideas and projects!

Almost finished setting up the new art studio! New projects coming soon!!
Put up some paintings from my grandson and daughter as inspiration ❤️
