Starting at 8am on Thursday, November 9, I’ll be opening my “Holiday Sale” to the public - 100 works, made available in time for the Holidays, priced to sell.  The vast majority of this work is in the $200 to $500 range, as you will find in the catalog.

Because you are a subscriber to my updates… you can purchase any work in the catalog before it becomes available to the public on 11/9, effective immediately.  Email David@DavidOSmithArtist.com to coordinate a sale - it becomes official once full payment is processed.

Preview and download the catalog here of the work that will be available, along with prices, dimensions, media and year.  The work will ship unframed, or for local clients, be available for pickup in my studio in Ballard.

The work is across five categories:

Plein Air Watercolor Paintings,

Plein Air Drawings,

Gestural Figure Work,

Animal and Plant Sketches, and

Mastercopies,

Many of which have never been exhibited or seen before (aside from me, while making them).

Please feel free to share this with anyone you’d like!

Cheers,

David

A brief rundown of the categories of work:

Plein Air Watercolor Paintings

“Plein Air” means made outside, from life, in the natural light.  All of these pieces were made in this way, using no other reference.

Price Range: $ 200 to $ 2900

Plein Air Drawings

These “plein air” drawings were made from life, onsite, directly observing the natural light.  They were made using combinations of media and often on colored paper.
