More Awards and Publicity
 	 
   

   

 
 

 	 
As I mentioned in my last newsletter, I was very honored to win the
ARTISTS CHOICE Award at the Grand Canyon Celebration of Art in
September. 
 In October, I had a tent at the Sedona Arts Festival, where I was
awarded FIRST PLACE in the Painting category. That's me with the Mayor
of Sedona in the photo on the lower left.  
Then in November I did the Zion National Park Plein Air Invitational,
where I won TWO PURCHASE AWARDS! Three big awards in three months, it
must be my year.
In the top photo, I am featured in the current issue of Western Art
Collector where they ran a photo of one of my paintings, and a photo of
me painting, and mentioned my Artists Choice Award from the Grand
Canyon event. Thanks for the publicity WAC!
On to new business. It's officially the holiday season, and I just
wanted to remind you what a great gift idea my metal prints make. If
you are looking for something unique for that hard to buy for friend or
relative, this is it. Check them out here
 . And as always, let me know
if I can be of any assistance with special orders or questions you
might have. 928-300-4576
My annual 'new project' this year is to build a completely new website.
My hope is that the next time you hear from me, I'll be announcing the
new site, which will include a one-page shopping cart, where you can
buy prints and original painting right on my website. I'm also going to
be offering a much wider variety of print styles and sizes, frames and
mat options.
There will also be an awesome new preview tool, which will allow you to
visualize paintings and prints on a wall in your home. It's really
helpful when trying to determine how a certain size painting or print
will fit on your wall. You can even select your wall color to see how
the painting might actually look in your home. Unlike the phone app I
mentioned last month, this tool is really easy to use, and will simply
be another feature available to you on my site should you choose to use
it. I think you're going to love it.
The Cody Collectors   page is slowly
growing. If you own an original oil painting of mine, and wish to added
to this page, please email me a photo of yourself next to your
painting. Include your name/s and town and state.
This would be a great resource for Sara and I to put faces to names,
many of you I've met only once or twice, and often Sara never gets to
meet you in person.  Please email photos to [email protected] and
thank you for collecting!
