Hello!

Here's your latest edition of Easy Oils Blast! A blast of new information, paintings and demonstrations in oil painting.

Flower Art Prints

Hi folks, it's been a while. Caring for an elderly parent, prepping my house and studio for the Virginia Artisans Trail, and trying to fit some studio time in between has kept me from writing to you.

I'll keep future mailing short and try to show more of what I'm up to in the studio.

In the meantime, I've gathered years of archived photographs of past paintings, and put a few up on a new page.

My old website was actually named "Delmus flower art prints". Funny how things change with time.

That particular site still gets traffic and it is forwarded to a page I had named the same. I was using primarily for other art sites to exchange links with me. Crazy right? Well, now it's a bona-fide "to quote a famous actor in "Neighbor where art thou" flower art print page. It however, goes into a little more detail on the color and flower meaning within each print.

Head over there and tell me what you think. There's a great sale involved too, so don't miss out! You know ol' HO HO HO is just around the corner. Delmus Flower Art Prints

I've also tried something that I've seen done on YouTube with a fellow artist. Here's the link to his channel. Trent Gudmundsen You Tube Channel just in case you would like to check him out. It's an awesome art channel.

Anyway, here's an 8 minute video that I did using my phone as he does. It shows the laying in of paint, blending and soft mop brush blending live! Hope you enjoy. Let me know if this is something you'd like to see more of. As this painting develops I'll put it on the website with the finishing video's.

This video is shot in HD, so select the gear at the bottom of the video box and then select the HD mode of playback!

Follow me on INSTAGRAM "@delmus_phelps_fine_art" to see some of those pictures as I work.

Sorry for all the underscores. I'm a baby boomer, and once I set up the account, my kids reminded me of what a pain it is to add those underscores to find me. I then reminded them they hey, follow me, and you won't have to keep typing that mess in. I'll just appear in your feed.

They were impressed.

Who said you can't teach an ol dog new tricks?

What are they all about? This is a social media site similar to facebook, or tweeter, but it's based on images only. This is an artist's dream! Soooo many pictures, but not enough time to see them all.

Also, in the upper right hand corner of most pages, you can find my Facebook page, and follow along activities that I post in-between ezine issues.

I'm now on Twitter! I find that if you reply to me rather then direct message (DM), I'll be able to find you easier. I get so much spam these days, I rarely check my direct messages in twitter any longer.

You can follow me, and I'll follow you back, but do reply to me that you are following so's I can follow you back! just tweet an "@delmus" in your tweet box!
