Calendars, Tote Bags, Pillows - and a Discount, Too!

 Hope you all had wonderful Thanksgivings, filled with family and friends, love and warmth and an abundance of delicious food! I was lucky enough to celebrate with family in Connecticut and Rhode Island, and then come home and celebrate with Peter and the gang.

I HAVE SOME FUN items on Fine Art America, too, like shower curtains, pillows and tote bag you see here... there are also note cards, mugs, coasters and I don't remember what else - all emblazoned with your favorite paintings.

You can click here to reach my page, or go to fineartamerica.com and search for me! I'm adding paintings all the time - if there's one you particularly love and it's not there, drop me an email and if I can put the painting up for you, I'm happy to do so.

AND CONTINUING in the self-promotional vein, the 101 Dogs Project is a great idea for a present! For $375, you or your giftee will receive a 12-inch-by-12-inch oil painting of your dog, a book or poster starring said dog, and some other items, too, depending on your sponsorship and your choices. Part of the money you give me will go to one of four dog-related groups, or to a dog-related group of your choice. And for a bigger sponsorship, you will get two paintings, or a bigger one! Check it out by clicking here, or go to jacobson-arts.com and poke around a little.

Dog of the Day

I bet this German shepherd puppy is pretty much all grown up now! 

I took this photo in the summer, at the South Norwalk Art Festival.

After doing a lot of sitting around feeling sorry for myself, watching reruns on TV and, slowly, ever so slowly, starting to get well (yay!), I managed to haul my recovering butt up to the kitchen table and make two calendars for 2014. 

THE FIRST CALENDAR is a collection of paintings from 2013. They're paintings of the Eastern Shore, of beautiful stuff I saw the Tubac trip, and of various other gorgeous scenes near and far. Click here, and you'll be taken directly to my page on Lulu. You'll also find the click-through image at the top of this blog, in the right-hand column, and on my website, jacobson-arts.com.

THE SECOND CALENDAR is a collection of paintings of dogs, cats and one parrot, mostly done in 2013. Some of my favorite paintings are in here. Some of my favorite paintings are not in here, but I suppose that leaves room for 2015. Click here, and it should take you right to the preview area on Lulu, where you can see all the pages. You'll also find the click-through image at the top of this blog, in the right-hand column, and on my website, jacobson-arts.com.

Each calendar is $19.99, plus shipping and handling. They're really fun, and they'd make great holiday presents. 

YES! IT IS EARLY! But it's not that early. I bet some of you are already done with your holiday shopping, aren't you? The rest of you can be done today - Buy calendars for everyone!

Dog of the Day

This is Virginia, who spent her entire life with my friend Debbie Ingoglio. 

Virginia died in May. Debbie says she was the best dog, and she does look like a dear.
