Hello Beauteous Peopleous!
I wanted to touch upon my thoughts about honesty and integrity in this post because every time I browse eBay for art (my competition) I see things that I have seen somewhere else on the Inter-webs, and then I see these decent-looking pieces, but upon further inspection I see that they are from China...(I am not saying that China is bad, I am almost half-Chinese, but an American none-the-less, heck my dad doesn't even speak Chinese!) what I am getting at is that I think being Honest and having Integrity is what should MATTER MOST, sure some of my pieces aren't the greatest when held up to some other art pieces, but that's Fine with me, because I know that I actually spent the time to make something that I KNOW IS ORIGINAL, and that I took the time to achieve the end result, whatever it may be. With each piece I learn a lesson and I gain invaluable practice as well. Why should anyone pay outrageous shipping & handling fees for a dishonest piece of art? I dunno, it just doesn't make sense to me.
That all being stated: PLEASE TRY TO SUPPORT ARTISTS in your HOME COUNTRY or LOCALLY! (Saying this might deter my friends in Europe, but I hope not, because I truly appreciate my Collectors there as well.) I am not saying to never buy Internationally, but I am saying that it's a heck of a lot better to buy from those you know are close at hand, and not from some country that may have "pirated" some other Artist's work or possibly even just ran it off a "highfalutin" printer in who knows where? There are SO MANY "starving artists" or artist's just trying to make a decent living off of their God/Higher-Being-Given talents on our own soil, so we should all help those people out.
Okay, I got out my rant/philosophy and have made peace with it...ON TO MY ART:
Mediums: Pencil & Watercolors on Beautifully Textured Watercolor Paper, Protected with a few coats of protective medium to ensure longevity and prevent water-damage and other elemental damage.
Dated, Titled & Signed on back AS well as in the lower-right corner of the piece.
[ALWAYS PACKED SECURELY with Re-Purposed and Post-Consumer Content Packing Supplies]
When Available: Today (January 28th, 2011) by late-afternoon/early evening, for 3-day Auction
UPDATE 7:27 PST: The bidding on this Original Watercolor Painting will end on: Jan 31, 201119:23:40 PST

I proudly present another Small Watercolor Painting!
{FYI: I will be doing mostly-small pieces for the time-being, because my time will be invested in my last semester of art school...this way I can give my full-attention to these pieces, and still get a Good-Body of work available for you all to view and collect!}
I titled it "Young Odysseus" (After Homer's Odyssey)
(wood plate-holder not included)
Dimensions: 5" tall x 7" wide
Mediums: Pencil & Watercolors on Beautifully Textured Watercolor Paper, Protected with a few coats of protective medium to ensure longevity and prevent water-damage and other elemental damage.
Dated, Titled & Signed on back AS well as in the lower-right corner of the piece.
