This image was painted in March of 2021, deep in the Covid Pandemic isolation. I’d just finished another painting of beach pebbles, the first I’d ever attempted, and I’d so enjoyed the process. In fact, my process and techniques in painting these stones was such that I plan on using it as a teaching tool for my students from this point on.
Aside from being a good teaching tool though, painting these pebbles was pure fun. Each rock was a miniature painting of its own. The colour, the texture, the light, they all played a part in the individual personality of each pebble. Even the composition of random beach pebbles was an amusing challenge.
I must admit to this particular image having been “staged”. Well, one rock at least. My wife Joy collects rocks in heart shapes. She has hundreds of them. I merely borrowed one of her rocks and went to the beach, probably the same beach she’d found it at, and placed it into my composition.
The title just had to be of course. We’re both of the age to be able to remember the song by the Rolling Stones, and this image just had to steal the title “Heart of Stone”.
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.
