Santa Rosa Books for Sale

I just finished a series of 25 local Santa Rosa pen & inks a couple of weeks ago, and the entire series was at the printers getting printed when Santa Rosa Firestorm occurred. All of the original pen & inks were destroyed in my house, but the digital images live on and the books are in print. My thought with the book was that it could be a collection of pen & inks to enjoy, or it could even be colored in. That's why the front cover is designed that way--for the person who buys the books to color in the words "Santa Rosa, CA, Est. 1868." I am selling the books for $32 if you pick it up from me, giving a portion to Redwood Credit Union for the fire victims account. The cost is $5 more for shipping, so $37 if you would like the book mailed to you. It is printed on heavy cardstock and spiral bound. Since I am a victim of the fire and things are so crazy, please be patient with my getting them to you. The money I make will pay for the printing as well as help me rebuild my art supplies and studio, all of which were lost in the fire. Payment is to my PayPal account at rb1993@sbcglobal.net. Write a message to me there when you pay, and how you would like to receive the book/books (pick up or mail, and your address if you would like it mailed). My greatest hope is that these images would be enjoyed. Over 170 hours of my time went into them. The image list and what they look like are below. The second page is the Round Barn, which burned down. Special thanks to Roger, who started the whole thing. It was his idea, and he was engraving these images into tiles (he also lost his home). Feel free to pass this along to others.

Fire

In the recent fire in Santa Rosa, my house, studio, and countless original paintings, sketches, sculptures, all of my original paintings of my children as well as numerous other paintings (and recent acquisitions from my father, things he had painted, things I had painted for him) burned.  Some of my art has been catalogued here on my art blog.  If you look here, you can see it once more.  But so much is gone, including all my art supplies.  Please pray for me.

To the Harvest Fair

This is one that I kept working on after my initial plain air work.  It felt frustrating as the vineyard was fairly parched, and I couldn't get the colors right.  I finally ended up adding green in the foreground in order to make the red pop.  I painted on West Side Road in Dry Creek Valley.
