I just got over a cold that seems to be quite, uh, "popular" these days -- seems like EVERYone's got it!
But before I contracted the pestilence, I did manage to produce and deliver a set of 5" x 3" / 12.5cm x 7.5cm note cards to the Joshua Tree National Park Association that are now being offered in at least one of the Park's visitor centers. The cards feature an image of one of my paintings, Sentinels, include an envelope and are currently selling for $3.95 each. One of the park rangers informed me the cards are selling well!
The image features a painting I made in the early 1990s. This is a typical iconic view of what the Mojave desert portion of the Park looks like...I figured this might go over well with visitors to the park.
This is the display rack that holds my note cards in the Visitor Center in Twentynine Palms. For now, it's nestled among jars of scented candles!
I think -- but I'm not sure -- that all of the visitors centers will have the note cards available. That would be nice -- Park visitation has been increasing over the years, and the peak have just arrived with the profusion of desert wildflowers thanks to the generous rainfall we've received over the last few months!
GREAT news!!

I want a sented candle! No, just kidding. I would buy the card immediately. It is so lovely and painted by my favorite desert artist .

Hi, Spinning Tales and Weaving Dreams! I'm afraid my scented candles smell like essence of stink bug (no, just kidding -- no candles). The Visitor Centers in the Park may still have have some; unfortunately, the cards didn't sell that well. Too small? "Wrong" style of art? Don't know.
But I sure appreciate your positive comments!
