black Friday art sale & giveaway

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I’m still taking some time off, but I wanted to share just one Black Friday sale for those who are interested.  If you missed the original art sale I had last week, I have added some of my new paintings to Society6 and they are having a Black Friday sale today!  This includes 50% off wall art!

Here are a few of the recent additions for the Black Friday art sale…

abstract landscape pear | black Friday art sale | Marian Parsons fine art | Miss mustard seed

abstract landscape pair 1/2 and 2/2

abstract seascape no. 5 | black Friday art sale | Marian Parsons fine art | Miss mustard seed

abstract seascape no. 5

nice view no 1 | black Friday art sale | Marian Parsons fine art | Miss mustard seed

nice view no. 1

nice view no. 3 | black Friday art sale | Marian Parsons fine art | Miss mustard seed

nice view no. 3

blue nose II schooner painting | black Friday art sale | Marian Parsons fine art | Miss mustard seed

…and Nice View no. 5, which is the Blue Nose II Schooner

I also added some of my older paintings for the Black Friday art sale, like the Pair of Pears and a couple of the barns.

I hope you find something you like if my paintings speak to you and you’re looking to fill up some blank walls.

At this point, I’m just selling art prints in Society6, but I’d like to expand to a few other products when I have the time to design specifically for those projects.  I’m thinking specifically of a color chart wrapping paper!  I would love to have that done in time for Christmas, but that’s not likely.  The list of things I would like to do this holiday season is pretty long…gingerbread houses, hand-painted ornaments, crocheted snowflakes, hand-painted papers.  I’m even smiling as I type this list knowing that I might not fit it all in and that’s okay.

I will be reserving some time for more painting, so I can have another original art sale soon (hopefully before Christmas.)  The support I have received from my followers when it comes to my art has been encouraged me to continue painting with intention and purpose.  I absolutely love doing, but you’re the ones who made it more than just a hobby and I am thankful to each of you for that.

Also, I have a pair of abstract landscape paintings that didn’t make it into the sale, so I thought I would offer them up as a giveaway!

The giveaway is for this pair of 5 x 7 original acrylic/mixed media landscapes…

 

If you’d like to enter to win, just leave a comment!  The giveaway is open to international readers and will close on Monday, November 30, 2020, at midnight PST.

Good luck!

      I am so thankful for you. Such a nice giveaway. I hope you holidays are filled with joy!

    2. Kari O'Connor

      Oh, I have the perfect place for these paintings! I’ve always been drawn to traditional, realistic art, but lately have really found myself interested in more abstract art. Realistic enough to tell what it is, but abstract enough to not be an exact image. I have no idea if that makes sense – ha! Anyway, so very lovely!!

    3. Kathy Capps

      I would love to own some of your artwork.

    4. Michelle T

      I try to collect only original artwork and these are beautiful! I had missed out on your other sales (by the time I checked, everything was sold out!!) so this would be a beautiful prize to win for the holiday season

    5. Barbara

      I’m just so glad that I found your blog all those years ago, Marian! Whatever you do is done with such high standards and I am motivated by your willingness to try something new, too!

      am a Missouri girl and am especially drawn to the paintings you do of fields and clouds, something that I love and that we have lots of here in my home state. Thank you for this opportunity. Blessings!

      • Laura

    27. Julia Butler

      Missed out on the oil sale but love these acrylics too. Think colour chart wrapping paper is an inspired choice – count me in. Looking forward to the next art sale – for me it goes live at 1.00am – boy was I tired the next day. Hoping you’ll find time soon to do some more art classes for us to paint along with. Enjoy this down time with the family, Christmas is coming and who knows what 2021 will bring.

    28. Carmen Duran

      I’ve always wanted to try oils, you’re such an inspiration sharing every step along the way, thank you so much!

    29. John D

      My wife loves your work. (Not like I don’t, but she found you before me) I haven’t been able to gift her one of your original paintings as I just can’t quite catch it soon enough. So I’m trying whatever I can for her Christmas gift. I would also love to have your art on our walls as your vibe is as soothing as aloe. Be well and thank you.

    30. Rebecca

      I love your style, your art, your home! Have been trying so long to get an original art piece from you!!

      I’m enjoying the abstract turn some of your paintings have taken. Just painted our dining room light green and white. I know one of your paintings would look amazing in here!

      • Glenn Suggs

        These are beautiful! Do you mind telling me what paint brand you use? Acrylic or oil? And the substrate? Thanks!

        • Marian Parsons

          Sure thing! I mostly paint with oils, but some of these are acrylics, like the pair I’m giving away. Acrylics don’t blend as well since they dry so quickly, so I get a different look with those. I use several different brands, but for oils, I use a lot of Windsor & Newton and Gamblin. I have a few colors that are Charvin and Vasari. For acrylics, I use Golden, Atelier, and Charvin.

    243. Erin

      Your art is so beautiful and it would be such an honor to win pieces to hang on my walls. Thank you for the opportunity!

      I was thinking about your commitment to learn how to paint just the other day. It really got me thinking how we’re so used to quick fixes, instant this and that, that making the time and commitment to learn or improve at something seems almost lost to us. I need to take a leaf out of your book and make the effort. Thank you.
