Wedding Blog

I have been reading posts on Facebook and blogs relating to weddings. A lot of couples are busy planning their wedding. There are lot's of great tips and ideas. One great blog I came across is "Style Me Pretty"  Vendor guides, DIY wedding projects,weddings,galleries,fashion and much more.  If you are planning your wedding I would definetely recommed you take a look!

One other idea to make your day special, whether you are planning your wedding or celebrating that wonderful day that has already passed, is an oil portrait.  An oil portrait is a wonderful addition to make the wedding day even more special!  I have worked with brides and grooms to make lovely additions for their home and family, creating a wonderful family heirloom for generations to come.

 If you would like to discuss an original oil painting commission, feel free to contact me at: pattitrostle@aol.com    You can also go to my main web site at: http://www.pattitrostle.com to see other portraits and paintings.  I would love to hear from you!

New Portrait Commission for OneAmerica

I will be starting on a new portrait for OneAmerica.
I was honored to be asked to visit and tour the corporate
office. Here are three portraits that I have done for them
in the past. They are displayed beautifully! I was also
humbled to learn my work is a  part of the extensive and
very impressive art collection they have in the corporate
offices. The work in the collection is amazing! They keep
the collection under lock and key it is so valuable!
They also gave me a great lunch!

Using Technology To Keep In Touch With Clients

I have to admit, I love technology.  With the invention of the internet
we can reach so many more people,places and information. I am very
 fortunate to have clients all over the U.S. and a few abroad.  I have
met many wonderful people online. The internet has turned this into
a very small world! In the past I have communicated with my clients
via phone, texting and e-mail.  Now that it is possible to communicate
withmy clients with programs such as Skype, connecting with clients
make the experience a little more personable!

I can show a client how a portrait commission is
coming along.  They can easily make changes
or suggestions.

A client can show me a space they would
like to fill with art and I can make suggestions
of my work that might fit the needs they are
looking for, right from a home or office!










I do have to admit, when at all possible, I prefer to meet my clients
face to face but in this fast paced and internet driven world we live \
in, it is not always possible!

I would love to hear from you.  How has technology helped your business?

Christmas Gift Idea

This year is going so fast.  It is hard to believe Christmas will be here in just three short months!  It is a great time to think about that special gift for a friend or loved one.  I have been getting commissions already for portraits and landscape paintings,etc. I had a call the other day asking me if I could do a portrait from a photo that was taken long ago of their grandparent.  I told him, "Yes I can".  I actually did portraits for someone last Christmas of wedding portraits and then had prints made for him printed on canvas that he could keep.  He gave the original portraits to his children for their Christmas presents. Maybe you would like to have someone in your family made into an oil portrait.  Please feel free to contact me if you would like information.  You can contact me at:  pattitrostle@aol.com   Below is an example of a portrait I completed from a vintage photograph.

Stairway To The Sky

Original Oil on Canvas Fall Landscape Painting

Oil on Canvas
16 inches x 12 inches


To purchase this painting CLICK ON THIS LINK

I am fortunate where I live to have access to beautiful landscape
subjects year round.  Here in Indiana the seasons provide artists
with changing colors and a new picture almost every time you
visit the same area.  I came across this painting in
my studio I did in the fall.  I remember I was very moved by the light.
Light striking the leaves in a such a way that made the landscape
seem to be providing a Stairway to the sky!

Figure Drawing - Original Brown Graphite Sketch Female Model

Figure drawing with  brown toned pencil on heavy archival paper.

Often I do a pencil sketch, a value study in preparation for larger and more complicated painting. I find that these more spontaneous pieces have a personality and elements not always found in the final painting.  I am now going to be offering sketches for sale.  I will be posting new sketches often.  As always, I use only archival materials. 
This original drawing is on 10in (w) x 12in (h) paper, but the image will beautifully fit in a standard size 8in x 10in mat opening.  Mat or frame not included.

To purchase this original drawing

You might as well say spring is here!  The days are getting longer and the weather is getting a little warmer.  I have buds coming out on my trees and my irises are coming up nicely.  I love to wake up to the birds singing again!  This has inspired me to do more floral paintings soon.  I am finding a big interest in pink flowers lately from my clients.  I just might do some pink roses etc.  I hope you will "Follow" and check back to see what I am working on.

Pet Portrait

Pet Portrait

Here is a portrait of a little guy (Scout) that my client purchased today.  I was very happy with the fact she was thrilled with the outcome!  (the original looks much better than this photo) This little guy is very young and was so sweet and very patient with me as I took his photo's.  By the time I was finished, he was so sleepy he couldn't keep his eyes open!  It was a real pleasure painting this precious pup!

Article For Artists

Reasons 2012 Is The Year
To Think Seriously About Putting
Your Art Online

...even if you think a brick and mortar
gallery is the best option, think about
selling online!










This "Coffee" original oil painting is available.
                   CLICK HERE
 to see this and several other paintings
 and prints and notecards to purchase!

___________________________________________________________________

1.  Numbers Don't Lie - 3 out of 4 people are not only using the internet daily, they are increasingly using the internet for shopping.  People turn to the internet for options they simply cannot find in their local areas.

75% of the U.S. population alone are using the internet and the numbers are increasing daily.

2.  Our 2012 Lifestyle - We’re a culture of instant gratification. Ideas pop in our head and we want to execute them immediately.  If we are to compete in the climate, we need to have our work "out there" for people to see and purchase. Make sure your audience can feed their “on demand” appetite with your art!

3.  Mobile Friendly - Make sure your art is mobile friendly.  An ever increasing number of people are using Smart phones, and use them to check updates such as Twitter and Facebook throughout their day. 

4.  2012 is the year of Commerce - A increasing number of brick and mortar businesses have realized this and not only have physical doors open to the public, but are utilizing the internet for increased sales. 

Many people I spoke with did all their Holiday Shopping online and with great results.  These people and many more will be following the same route.  One person can tell another person of a great deal or wonderful item they saw and purchased online, and this person purchases the item also.  She/he passes on the good news and...well you get the picture! I myself have a studio where the public can come in and purchase prints,paintings, notecards, etc., but I realize how important the internet is to get someone to actually come to my studio to see the phyical thing!

5.  Control Your Presence Online -  Whether you realize it or not, people will research your history.  Be careful how you come across to people in the social network situations.  Let them know you can be trusted with purchases.  Do you have a return policy.  How is your artwork shipped?  Is the item safely shipped in secure packing?  People want to know when they get your art, you did all you could to get it to them without damage.  People do not want to take the time to repack and return.  I know shipping companies and postal services sometimes do not treat things with care.  Pack as if your art will be thrown off a bridge!

What are you waiting for?!  Now go out there..be seen..and most of all..have fun!!
