I completed this painting on Wednesday, April 7, 2021. I completed it only hours after my wife Joy and I were vaccinated. If nothing else, I’ll always remember it for that.
The painting was one of many, and my final painting, in my “rock series”. I’ve been painting these for weeks for a few reasons. First, I’ve found them fun and entertaining. The process is very incremental, and as such has given me a great diversion from the humdrum regularity of social isolation that is dictated by covid.
And when the painting is done, I find the image one of compelling interest to my eye. I find myself examining the colour, texture and positioning of each individual beach pebble. I suppose, in some fashion, these images are almost “abstract. And just like an abstract painting, they allow one’s mind to wander.
And so, the second reason for painting “Covid Rocks” is just that. It has allowed me to escape the mental jail cell we’ve all experienced for over a year now. The mere exercise of painting these images has been soothing to the spirit.
And so, I speak of the title. Please, read the title knowing that the word “Covid” is being used as an adjective, not as a noun. I’ll leave it to you to figure that out.
Pricing
My images predominantly sell as limited edition prints (either serigraph or giclée). As such, there is a wide range of pricing, too wide to list within this website. I’ll explain.
My original paintings, those that are still available for sale, range in price from $4,000.00 and up. In most cases though I have limited edition prints available of my images. Needless to say, they are far less expensive than the original paintings. If you are interested in a particular original painting, please contact me at your earliest convenience at info@edhillart.com
If it’s a limited edition print you’re interested in, let me explain. Because of modern day technologies, the image you are interested in can be giclée printed on either paper or canvas. The canvas images can be rolled up and shipped in a simple tube, or they can be stretched on a frame and shipped that way. So too, these images can be reproduced custom made to your wishes. In other words I can create a print in the size you desire, either to fill a small space, or to fill an entire wall. I’ve included below a photograph of a client’s dining room with two of my prints reproduced in a larger format.
You will see that some of my pieces shown on this web site, those lithograph reproductions and art cards, do have fixed prices. The rest of my images, however, can be priced only when I know specifically what you, the client, want. As such, if you are interested in a particular image, please contact me, Ed Hill, directly at info@edhillart.com
Once your order has been determined, you’ll be able to make payment through PayPal provided herein.
