Temple Images on Sale at BryCoxArt.com

Christmas is approaching!  In my own shopping looking for presents this year, I’ve had a hard time finding anything of quality that I want to spend money on.  Knowing that many people probably feel the same way, I’ve decided that since my portrait order queue is full and it’s too late to order anything in the way of portraits (unless it’s a smaller order from a past photo session and for a frame size that I already have in stock), I thought I’d add some value to some of my art pieces that are already my best sellers.

So through the holidays (up through December 31st), the following images will be on sale at BryCoxArt.com.  No promo code is needed, just go to the site, browse around, and see what you like.

These images can also be finished in a custom size for you, sometimes in a less expensive version that isn’t on canvas.  For those options, you need to call me.  But the most common options are in the online store.

My best selling image, ”Snowfall, Salt Lake City,” is an open edition print making it an incredible value and priced much lower than the custom prints.  Normally it’s only $49, but right now it’s $29!

Custom canvases of “The Widow’s Window” and “Direction” are $539 right now.

I have also introduced a new size to the image, “Balance,” making it very affordable at $98 which includes framing.

Finally, my art book, “Impressions of Italia” has been marked down from $130 to $89!

Merry Christmas everyone!  Until next time, America!

Family Portrait Paintings

I have been finishing some fantastic family portrait paintings for Christmas.  This is one below that I’m working on right now.  It is of my friend, Ryan Shupe’s family.  I start by creating a photograph that is lively and has the emotion that I want.  I then use that scene as a reference to paint from so that the perspectives are correct and realistic.

However, as you can see, I like these paintings to be abstract and surreal.  I want them to feel dream-like and portray even more emotion, so that the image connects with the family.  These are real works of art and look amazing when they are finished and hanging in your home as stretched canvases.

Another family portrait painting that I just finished is this one below.

While Ry’s family was created in the outdoor garden of my studio, this family family portrait was created in their own backyard.  You may recognize this cute little girl in red from the portraits in this earlier blog entry.  Both sets of images, the family portraits and the child portraits were created on the same night here in their backyard.

The net just doesn’t do these justice.  You really have to see these large and up close to appreciate the magnitude and impact of the images, as well as to see and appreciate the detail work.  So in order to show at least the detail work, I created this close-up view of the tops of the first set of trees on the left so that you can see the brush strokes and treatments at least somewhat.

There are many stages in creating pieces like this, and they take quite a bit of time, obviously.  But of all the products and pieces I offer, I LOVE seeing these paintings when they are finished and hanging in someone’s home.  They look absolutely stunning!

If you’d like something like this of your own family, please let me know quickly as Christmas is approaching fast! :-)

Until next time, America!

Eva & Saddie

Here’s one of the Christmas orders I’m working on today.  It’s of these two beautiful little sisters, Eva & Saddie.  I first designed up this treo below using the colors from the background and dresses.  It’s a cute series showing each girl individually and then together.

The design of that treo went quickly, and I had time to finish this composite too.  Looking at them now, I love both designs.  This composite really showcases these kids and shows off their happy personalities and inner sparkle.  I really like the flow of the design as well.

I have a lot of really cool orders I’m working on, and may put a few more up later tonight or maybe even tomorrow so that you all can see them.

Until next time, America.
