I was so excited to be featured by @shepherdsfashions today! We collaborated and they are carrying three exclusive images to celebrate this 45 year of business! Check them out! I pick up what they put down! So can you!
I am taking my cue from @brianmillerart and @debbierosemiller who Are artists in @squarefootshow ! They have so much going on they made a poster of it all. I decided to show you how I embellish because my sale ends tonight at midnight! Tonight there are two things happening: @crownandpressgallery the “Smalls” show starts but goes until Christmas. I am hanging around all day today and evening and wrapping gifts for free! (Thus the fancy necklace.) @pwd_gallery there is another Square Foot Show that I have 5 pieces in. You can find that show online or in person! @squarefootshow continues to midnight on Saturday! Whew! Did you catch it all!? #Artcoach #artist #canadianartist #landscapeartist #painter #studiolife #artistofinstagram # artforchristmas #arttip #wallart #artdecor #design #gallery #artgallery #artforsale
It’s tonight! I promise I will put some makeup on to be really ready! Our final show of 2023, Julia Veenstra & friends, starts TONIGHT (November 30) at 5pm Pacific/ 8pm EST, and we thought we’d send over a few tips for a successful hunt! We’re sure that many of you have already checked out 48 hour preview (password: julia2023) and have your eyes on something special. In the first two hours of each show, we’ll see thousands of shoppers from around the world hit the store at exactly the same time to buy just about 300 one-of-a-kind pieces. Here are four things you can do to help you get the one you’ve had your eyes on in a show which has been called “the Black Friday of art”. 1. Shop on your fastest internet and filter by artist. Use whichever internet connection is fastest to shop, even if it’s your phone! If you have your eyes on a particular piece, use the filtering options on the left side to view only the pieces by that artist. 2. Prioritize your selections and buy one at a time. We recommend creating a priority list and making purchases one at a time. This will ensure that you don’t lose out on the piece you just have to have while you filled your cart. 3. (Optional) Sign up for an account at https://shop.app/ One way to speed up the checkout process would be to use the Shop App. You can sign up for an account on your desktop, iPhone or Android device. Once logged in, input and save your shipping and payment information and you’ll be able to make your purchases in one click! This could make all the difference when it comes to getting that crucial piece. 4. Visit SHOP.SQUAREFOOTSHOW.COM Visit our shop link rather than our website. The shop will ‘open’ right at 8pm Eastern sharp. Visiting the shop will save you a little time! The show runs through midnight on Saturday! So, come back Friday and Saturday if you can’t make it on time. Last but not least, don’t forget to join our headliner, founder/ co-owner, Julia Veenstra, and several of our artists live on the Square Foot Show instagram starting 30 minutes before the show! Happy collecting!
I am getting a lot of emails and messages asking about what does the embellished option mean. This makes sense as I am having a 30 percent off sale until December 1 at midnight! I hope this video helps. The sale ends Friday as I need time to paint your pieces to get them to you for Christmas! I love revisiting the images you order. It’s like getting back together with a friend. #embellishedprints #printsale #blackfridaysale #artprints
Years ago my Square Foot Show was in person. There was something special about that. People lined up in the cold of winter and grabbed paintings off the walls! My studio on James Street in Hamilton was where I hosted it and where I worked. Then Covid hit and I took it online with my team. It smashed the internet opening night! Now we have been able to lift emerging and established artists for the world to see! Literally the world! Artists from all across North America and even further participate, support and encourage and collect each others work even! I am super proud of the @squarefootshow team. This is special. This Thursday at 8 pm EST is the last show of 2023! Don’t miss it! Www.Squarefootshow.Com
Here’s a fun little East Coast painting! The original is long been sold but prints are available through my sale happening until December 1 only! Swipe over to see a door that I painted from a house in Boston, where my son went to school. It was beautiful and caught my breath when we walked by it! I have been so thrilled to see what you are ordering! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ #Artcoach #artist #canadianartist #landscapeartist #painter #studiolife #artistofinstagram #arttip #wallart #artdecor #design #gallery #artgallery #artforsale
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Doug, my husband, is driving me around delivering my new calendars here locally! Pick one up from @crownandpressgallery and grab a latte too or from my website. This Thursday is the Christmas Square Foot Show! Sign up for the preview at www.squarefootshow.com so you can see what these sell out artists have got in store for you! A live opening event is scheduled at 7:30 pm EST on Instagram at @squarefootshow ! @crownandpressgallery we launch our smalls show in person and online on Friday December 1!! I will be there all evening and Santa shows up on Saturday from 10 to 1. Free gift wrap in person. See you there! #Newgallery #crownandpressgallery #ajuliaveenstragalleryandcafe #supportartists #buyart #originalart #artprints
I always answer this question by talking about colour aesthetic and personal palette. A person actually has a preferred palette. They tend to gravitate to the same types of colours over and over again. Recognizing this is very helpful when buying art. Buying art to match a certain colour theme may result in not being satisfied with the piece in the long term. I always say that if you are collecting things because you love them, they will go together. Buy that pillow because you love it, that throw and that rug! Only because you love it! Begin to trust that inner palette and aesthetic and you will create a collection that you can live with. Buy art you cannot live without! #howtomatchcolours #buyingart #decoratingtip #collectingart #paintings #overthecouchart
I often get asked if I teach. I used to do it regularly but had to stop, but now with the @crownandpressgallery and its wonderful space I can offer a class again! You have to get your ticket through @crownandpressgallery at www.crownandpress.com under Events. I am teaching August 4, 11-4 pm. All supplies except for brushes will be provided and lunch and coffee at the cafe! We put the link up early so if you have someone this would be perfect for as a Christmas gift you could access it! Hope to see you there! #artclass #lesson #paintingclass
“Love Broke Through” It always does! Today I celebrate with my daughter and her family about the successful adoption of their new daughter! What a good day. LOVE BREAKS THRU
When I first went to Moraine Lake I was just amazed at the beauty! I have since painted from my reference photos so many times! This original is sold but prints are available! My Black Friday sale is happening! 20 percent off prints and 30 percent off embellished prints. For the embellished prints I like to think it is a reinterpretation somewhat. I paint 1/4 to 1/3 of the image again with acrylic paint. Making it a new and unique piece! I am enjoying seeing what you have been acquiring. Each painting brings back memories. I am glad to share them with you!
This was a fun collaboration with @shepherdsfashions in Ottawa! We ran a contest together! This piece is available in print only through @shepherdsfashions in celebration of their 45 anniversary! They are an amazing company of women who support women!
