   After 19 years on King Street in Boone, North Carolina, we have moved into an exciting new venue eight miles up the road at 112 Aldridge Park in Foscoe, NC. Our fantastic art materials selection is now housed in the same location as our fine art publishing operation, and the best custom framing shop in the southeast...just ask me, I'll tell you all about it! My new location has everything the old location didn't: an incredible view of Grandfather Mountain, and LOTS OF FREE PARKING! Anyway, our grand re-opening kicks off on July 12 with my friend Clark's installation of an ART-O-MAT machine, and Golden "OPEN" Acrylic demo. Yes, GOLDEN acrylics have been allowed to join our family of fine art materials, and I'm really excited about it, this being the first line of artists' paint I have allowed on my property since my friend Art Graham developed his outstanding line about sixteen years ago. Frankly, there hasn't been another artists' paint product that I found worthy of my trust in all those years, but the "OPEN" product is truly unique and revolutionary. I think it will be a hit. When in the Foscoe area, be sure and stop in for one of our fantastic new workshops we will be hosting periodically, along with gallery receptions for our Wildflowers Fine Art Editions people.

 NEW Hot Item!

magnetic artists' manikins

 

 

...this is the coolest thing to happen to "Woody" since the invention of the art manikin!
We worked with our friends at Masters International to design this innovative new manikin, which has magnetized hands and feet to allow him to cling to any metal surface. Looks great on the fridge door or perhaps the dashboard of your classic hot rod! The 4 1/2" tall art manikin comes with his own metallic disk for use as a display stand. Item # MAN-4.5MAG $8.99 each.
 

NEW: Golden Artist Colors OPEN Acrylics

30% off MSRP for a limited time!


The relaxed working characteristics and versatility allow artists to explore a wider range of techniques such as portraiture and landscape painting that rely on softening, shading, glazing and creating fine detail. OPEN Acrylics resist skinning and remain wet on the palette for extended periods while exhibiting a remarkable versatility that allows them to be used directly from the tube for plein air painting, monoprinting and screenprinting. OPEN Acrylics may be blended with GOLDEN Acrylics, Mediums and Gels, with the open time of the resulting mixtures being proportionately reduced. To maintain the maximum working time of OPEN Acrylics, use OPEN Mediums and Thinner.
