Art for Sale, Day 1 (2020 Volcano Village Artist's Hui)

WELCOME TO 2020! Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my art at this weekend's Volcano Village Artists Hui Art Sale! As expected, 2020 has been full of challenges and changes that none of us expected. In that vein of unexpected changes, I'd like to share with you my original artcards that I've done recently (and not so recently). These capture scenes from around the islands, including native Hawaiian bird and plant species. Artcards are tiny pieces of art that are only 2.5" x 3.5" ... the size of a baseball card. They are shipped using a thick protective plastic sleeve, or, if you wish, I can mat and frame them as well for an additional cost of $30. See pricing at the bottom of each image. Check out an example of a framed piece, below. While the art is small, when framed, it is a piece that definitely stands out.

FOR MORE ART, SCROLL BELOW ... I also have oil paintings, larger watercolors, and colored pencil drawings available as well down below. I hope you're not too disappointed that I do not have as many oil paintings that I would usually have available at the Art Hui sale but please know that there will be many opportunities to buy original Hawaiʻi and Volcano-themed oil paintings throughout the year (so sign up to receive notifications)! 

HOW TO BUY ... All pieces are available on a first come, first served basis. Send me an email at joanyoshioka[at]gmail[dot]com and let me know which painting or drawing you'd like, indicating the ID number and title of the work and provide a phone number. I will notify you via email if the work is still available (I'll mark the image as "pending" if someone has requested it). After we decide how you'd like to receive the piece, I will send you a PayPal invoice via email. Once the work is paid for, I'll ship it to you within 5 days. For oil paintings, expect delivery within 2-3 weeks to allow for dry time.

HOW TO BUY OTHER ART PIECES ... Send me your email address at joanyoshioka[at]gmail[dot]com and I will add you to my "Special Clients" mail list and will inform you when I've posted a new painting for sale. Throughout the year, I'll be giving away note cards and prints so it would be worth signing up!

2020 Volcano Village Artist's Hui Art Sale ... a new kind of sale

Aloha! Thanks for visiting my blog. This year's 2020 Volcano Village Artist's Hui Art Sale will be a little different as the Hui artists are showing their works in various ways, by appointment or via online stores or websites. I'll be a guest artist again and am so grateful to the Hui for the invitation. They are an amazing group of artists and I hope you'll consider supporting them. Please check them out on Instagram (@volcanoarthui) and consider following them. I'm on Instagram too (@joanyoshioka)! I'd be stoked if you follow me too!

This year, you'll be able to purchase my artwork via this blog. I will be posting my artwork on Friday, 11/27/2020 at 10:00 am and they will be available on a first come, first served basis. Please send me an email at joanyoshioka@gmail.com if you'd like to buy a piece. I will email you an invoice via PayPal (with or without shipping) and once it's paid, I will make arrangements for you to pick it up or send it to you via snail mail.

I will have original oil and watercolor paintings for sale, some will be small works (2.5" x 3.5", the size of a baseball card) and others a bit larger. I won't have as many works available this year so if you would like, please email me and request to be put on my email list and throughout the year, I will let you know when I post new artwork for sale on my blog. Or, feel free to subscribe to my blog posts by entering your email address (in the right side column) and FeedBlitz will notify you whenever I post something new. That way, you'll have the first chance to buy any new artwork!

If you're interested in pet commissions, please check out my earlier post, linked here. Lucky for you, the prices haven't changed! :D

Please stay safe out there. Yes, these are strange and uncertain times, for sure, but I hope you find true blessings every day. I am so grateful for your support of my lifelong love of art as a guest artist with the annual Volcano Village Artist's Hui Studio Tour and Art Sale the last few years. I came to art rather late in life, lacking the confidence when I was younger. But, I always loved looking at art, dreamed about art, loved creating art, and always wished to be good enough someday that someone would want to buy my art. Thank you all for allowing me to live my dream and I hope that my art gives you as much joy as you've all given me! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

With love and appreciation,

Joan :)

Art ... hot off the easel

Queen Cat, oil on gessobord, 6"x6"


`Ōhi`a (Metrosideros polymorpha), oil on gessobord, 6"x6" (SOLD)

I'm liking these little quick "sketches". It makes the creative side of my brain tingle a bit ... never tight, quick, colorful, and very freeing. I think these alla prima paintings are just what my soul is seeking. 

I'll be doing 30-minute demonstrations on these 6"x6" Ampersand gessobords at the Volcano Village Artists Hui Studio Tour and Art Sale this coming weekend, Nov 29, 30, and Dec 1, 10 am - 4 pm. I'll be there as a guest artist at Emily Herb's home and studio. 

Enjoy the `apapane singing in the `ōhi`a and koa trees as you walk or drive to each of the 6 studios that will be open to visitors. You can pick up a map of the studios at any of the businesses in Volcano.
