Maybe you’ve heard about the “painting a day” frenzy which is sweeping the artists and art buyer’s market of late – in case you haven’t, artists are putting up a work of art  for auction every day or two or three., and collectors can often land a real gem at a very affordable price…..(supposedly each and every little painting is being done fresh for the venue, though I do have my doubts about that…..)

What I don’t have my doubts about is the benefits it can provide to artists and buyers alike.  A small but steady income in these financially receeding times for the artist, and an opportunity for a collector to assemble a very nice collection at an affordable price.

So…we at A Burning Light are going to add our voice to the growing parade of  ‘daily’ painters and start the tradition here. Each week ( or ten days, or eleven…) you will see a new work of art here for sale  below it’s “market value’.  Artists trial proofs of  published editions; small drawings, watercolors, studies for more elaborate finished pieces...even larger finished works…  these are some of Bill Murphy’s works you will find ‘up for auction’ on the 'buy it now' page.

 

HOW IT WORKS           

First, start by checking out the current piece on the Buy It Now page by clicking this link (or cutting and paste into your browser):

http://aburninglight.com/blog

If you decide you want to buy the piece, simply send me an email (billmurphy77@aol.com)

THE FIRST PERSON WHO EMAILS ME WILL WIN THE PIECE ……and it’s yours upon receipt of payment. Smaller works will SHIP FREE! Larger works will carry  a $15.00 shipping charge in the US.

In case of a print that is being offered, only one print will be sold at that price - no multiples available.

 

HERE’S THE IMPORTANT PART:

If you don’t want to purchase this week’s offering, but would like to be informed when each new work is offered, either click on ‘subscribe to this blog’, or,  join the Burning Light newsletter list ( on homepage), ....or send me an email (billmurphy77@aol.com) , and I will make sure you receive an email when each new work is being offered. Or, for the paranoid out there, you can do all three.

 

Good luck, and I hope you will stay tuned!
