Sure, why not?

Hey Tom, do you have any more paintingsbyDale Norton or any other artist who captures nautical scenes?

What size are the ones by Dale?

I like the pictures of your gallery. It looks like an upscale place.

Thanks cool. That sailboat painting is really nice. It's about 36" x 24" but I'd have to confirm that.Ithink it is $400. I don't believe he has had any prints made. He has a couple of lighthouse paintings. Hemade prints ofthe lighthouseon the website ($125 unframed, $325 matted and framed), but the original is not for sale right now (unless you can get his wife to give up ). Off the top of my head, I'd say that the print is 20" x 24".The original is larger.

The sailboats is an acrylic and the lighthouse is a watercolor. He also hasa small original lighthouse watercolor at the gallery (~ 8" x 10", $175). He is very reasonably priced as he is new to the gallery scene and wants to see how things go.

Being that the gallery is in Utah, the local artists don't tend to paint many seascapes or nautical scenes. Dale happens to spend a lot of time in Oregon.

Let me know if I can get you any more info.

Thanks!
Tom

Yeah, go ahead and confirm the size of the sailboat painting for me. Does the price include matting and framing?

Tom,

I am really impressed with the Quality of the artwork in your shop. I've painted 8 [oil] paintings. Each one seemed to get bigger than the last. Haven't touched it in 7 years, but hope to continue after I retire in 2 1/2 years, [If I can still see]. Went to Ogden last year TDY for one day. You know how the Govt. likes to save money on TDY time. Had time to eat Bar-B-Que at a place close to the base, can't remember the name, but had killer ribs.

Best of luck in your business.

Thanks nnuut! Keep painting! A fewof our artists are in the same boat, had the talent but didn't pursue it until after retirement. They really seem to enjoy it.

Coolhand, 24 x 36 was correct. The total framed piece measuresabout 27" x 39" and isincluded in the price.

I'm guessing shipping will be about $50 but I'll waive that as a TSP Talk discount.

Wow, that Linda Birt puts some emotion into her paintings! I'd be interested in some of her work.

Linda'soriginals are near $1000 as she takes many hours to paint each peice. She does have canvas giclee limited edition prints available for most of her pieces in the $140 -$175 range. That's unframed but I can also get you a framed price.

Thanks!

Would love more info. Are those on the website just a sampling or is that all of her work?
