Tea Tree Bay Noosa Heads Australia painting by Chris Hobel My First Print Sale on Fine Art America

I was requested to sell a print of this painting, luckily I had a high res photo taken as it was a special commission painting of an iconic location. I listed it with fineartamerica and it the print is on its way to a new owner. A great way to view and buy art from greeting cards to framed art, Im gradually adding my work to it. Australian buyers may find redbubble better as the freight is much less

I took a trip to Kenilworth today to deliver some new paintings to Affordable on Elizabeth that I had framed for the shop. Toni  the owner is a very friendly person and she has fantastic quirky shop full of Australiana and supports local artisans and art. The famous Kenilworth  art show was also on so I took a look at it and wasnt disappointed as it is always full of top art and well displayed. I did notice that the number displayed was well down on recent years but not the quality. Well done Kenilworth and thank you to the generous volunteer workers who put it on. My classes start again on Monday and Im looking forward to giving a step by step demo of a palette knife tree
