Windows On The Square - Limited Time Offer

For a limited time I am offering a great discount on many of the images from my Windows On The Square series.   I will be retiring some of these images in the near future, so this is a good way to save money on your favorite prints before they go away.

Windows On The Square  is a series of photographs of downtown Paris, Tennessee which I started in the Summer of 2007.   I was inspired by all the beautiful, historic two story buildings with fancy brick work and windows that look down on court house square.  Thus the title Windows On The Square. The series has a unique ethereal “look” which was applied to each photograph, creating a cohesive series of images.   Since making these photographs,  several business have changed hands, changed names and building fronts.  

There are two ways you can take advantage of these discounts.

• You can order fine art prints for as little as $17 from my online gallery here. You can also order note cards, canvas prints and even tote bags or pillows.
• Or, you can purchase a digital download for $5 from my Etsy Shop located here and do your own prints, note cards, etc.  You can print as many as you like for the one time fee of $5.  You just can't sell the prints, cards, etc.  That would be violating my copyright.  

Happy Shopping!

New Stuff at Merison's That's All About Paris

I have some new things at Merison's that I wanted to share with you. 
There are all about Paris, Tennessee.

I've taken some of my most popular (and personal favorites) from my "Windows On The Square" series and created a 16" x 20" collage.  It is printed on archival paper with a matte finish.  Ready to frame, no matting necessary.  Just pop it into a standard 16x20 poster frame.

 

The one above is shown in color with a light sepia overlay but it can also be ordered in black and white or full color as shown below.

 

 

Also ....

 

 

An entire alphabet created from photographs taken in Paris and Henry County. 

A great conversation piece.  You and your friends will have fun guessing where the photos were taken.  It is 16" x 20" and ready to frame.  It may also be ordered with a

black background as shown below.

 

 

 

And the pièce de résistance ...

 

"Paris" on 12" x 30" gallery wrapped canvas.

 

I paint these signs myself in acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas (no frame necessary).

No two are alike.  The letters are even different on each one as you can see below.

 

 

You can order them in whatever colors you like and they don't have to say "Paris."  I can paint your last name or your favorite inspiration word like "dream" or "laugh" - whatever you like. 

 

They come in different sizes:  large 10" x 30", medium 8"x24", small 6" x 12".

 

Questions?  Check with me or the folks at Merison's. 

 

 

 

 

New Release

Sit A Bit

This is the newest addition to my series "Windows On The Square."  A series about the way I see downtown Paris, Tennessee.    The original photograph was taken in front of the new location for Jack's Java on  Courthouse Square.

This will be a limited edition of 30 prints.  Print size is 7"x 9" on 8"x10" archival paper with archival ink.  Each print will be signed and numbered.  Loose prints $20.00, prints matted in white for 11"x14" framing for $30.00.  

Prints will soon be available at Jack's Java, Merison's, and T.F. Rice and Co.  Or you may pre-order by emailing me. (See contact information toward the top right of this page.)

Prints may also be special ordered in sepia or black and white as shown below - though I much prefer the color in this one.

 

 I think this will become one of my favorite scenes of Paris. 

Elvis At The Paris City Auditorium

I know you ask sometimes, “Where does she get these ideas?”  Well, this is how “Elvis at the Paris City Auditorium” came about.

During the North Poplar Street Yard Sale last month, my Aunt Jane took me on a tour though some back yards. There was a sign she wanted me to see at the old Paris City Auditorium. The sign had something to do with Elvis.

We traveled down the driveway of Carol & Kenny Doster. We passed this Peace Sign.

Then we passed this really big paw print.

Did you know Bigfoot lived on North Poplar??

Then we came upon the old Paris City Auditorium.

It was a little sad to see it this way. According to Visit Downtown Paris - “This building was used for everything from basketball games to concerts. In its hey day of the 50’s and 60’s, everyone from Elvis to Jerry Lee Lewis to Flatt and Scruggs performed there. There are a million memories and songs permeating that building!”


We went inside.

 
There was a little old ....
 

And some new ...

 

And then,

I saw this.

 

 

And ... well, I became inspired.

So, I took this photo ....

And turned it into this.

Then I added the Elvis sign I had seen inside....

 

and put it on the front porch to get this.

And then I really got carried away. It just needed a little more Elvis. I won’t keep you in suspense anymore. This is the final product.

Hope you like it. I’m adding it to my “Windows On The Square” series. Please contact me if you would like a print.

Paris Twilight

Trying something a little different here in the latest addition to my "Windows On The Square" series.  Going for sort of an old world look.  Can't decide if I like the horizontal or vertical version best. 

Paris Twilight - Horizontal

Paris Twilight - Vertical

Horizontal - vertical - can't decide.  Either way it would look great on canvas as shown here.  Buy Print. 

"Windows on the Square" is a series I started several years ago showing off my very picturesque hometown - Paris, Tennessee.
