Apparently, in spite of not having pop-up ads, here is my own ad on my blog. Self-promotion and marketing are the most difficult parts of being a self-employed artist. However, if you are a reader of my blog, I am assuming you like my art. Therefore, telling you where to find it is simply providing you with a service, yes? (I refuse to end my sentences with “right?” as so many people do these days, a nervous vocal tick that sticks up my nose).
- Kaweah Arts in Three Rivers has been selling very steadily for me. This is an art consignment shop located along the main road through town, on the river side of the highway, AKA Sierra Drive. Great variety of local original art, open Thursday – Tuesday. No website, but on Instagram and probably Fakebook. They have my paintings (mostly Sequoia and Three Rivers subjects) and notecards.
- Farmer Bob’s World is a new adventure in agri-tourism in Ivanhoe, which is a citrus growing area north of Visalia. They offer tours and have a venue for events. It is new, and I am honored to be part of this, since citrus growing is my heritage. They have paintings (mostly citrus) and notecards. Their website is Farmer Bob’s World.
- The Mural Gallery, a store for Exeter, A Festival of Arts on E Street in Exeter just reopened. They have a good variety of mural related merchandise and the muralists are invited to show and sell their work. They carry my Exeter coloring books and paintings (citrus, Sequoia, foothill scenery). No website, but here is a youtube video discussing the murals. Exeter, A Festival of Arts. (The first 2 murals shown in the video are mine!)
- Silver City Resort, 4 miles below Mineral King (or 21 miles up the MK Road) has been selling my paintings for over 10 years. Now they also carry Mineral King Wildflowers: Common Names. Their website is Silver City Mountain Resort. (P.S. This is an old photo – the store is fancier these days.)
- A bonus place to buy my art is from me directly, either off the website (yikes, hope the piece didn’t already sell somewhere else before I learned about it!) or from me in person.
And remember, I make custom art.
Using pencils, oil paint and murals, I make art you can understand about places and things you love for prices that won’t scare you.
We now resume our normal broadcast schedule.

At least, like, we’ve stopped placing a certain, like, word in the middle of a, like, sentence, you know. Right?
Yes, Kaweah Arts does have a F*c*b**k page! https://www.facebook.com/KaweahArts3R. I don’t know about Instagram since I don’t have (and never will) have an account there.
But it looks like you have Kaweah Kountry well covered with the locations that carry your beautiful art. But I prefer to work with the direct source!
Sharon, I always prefer dealing directly with my customers. However, those locations are terrific for finding new customers. Thank you for the update about Kaweah Arts and Fakebook. I do have an Instagram account but never will have a FB account. So together, we make a complete set of social media info sources.
