–>This painting was commissioned for the Donna Pepin collection in the late Summer of 2010.  Originally taking about 6 weeks to complete.  After hanging on Mz. Pepin’s walls for the next 6 or 7 odd months/the winter.  It was decided by the artist and patron that the w3rk was still actually incomplete in it’s current state at that time, and the artist Gar Bailey brought it back to his studio for another 2 weeks of intensive work detailing it out with the smallest paint brushes in his arsenal.  Brush strokes so minuet and touch sensitive the Gar had to hold his breath during many of them, as not to cause the brush to waiver even one millimeter.  This painting, along with 2008′s “Flesh”, is perhaps Gar’s most finely detailed w3rk.  And thankfully thru the patronage of Mz. Pepin, Gar was adequately compensated financially for the gargantuan 150 – 200 hours of surgical paint w3rk done upon this canvas.  Without her influence, love, and support.. this painting most likely would not have materialized.  So mad props, gratitude, and infinite love to Mz. Donna Pepin for her continued patronage of the art of Mr. Gar BaiLey.

By: Gar Bailey – April 2011 | Oil & Oil Enamel On Wood Composite | 16″ x 24.5″

Price: $125 obo + Shipping (Which will be calculated after bid is made.) That’s easily 50% or more off of what I’d normally charge for a piece this special.  In a gallery setting, you’d be hard pressed to get this puppy for less than 300 Dollars.

*Note: If you live in Orlando, Daytona or anywhere in between, I’ll hand deliver the painting to you via my Van for $12 – 15 / the price of petrol, or if local.. the art can often be picked up at my Osteen, FL home studio by appointment only.

Comes with durable, sturdy wire attached to the back of painting ie “wall ready”, as all purchased Gar Bailey original paintings, framed or not, come ready to hang = wire or bracket on rear and even including a small screw and nail. All you need once bought is a wall and a hammer or screwdriver.

**This painting comes from a set of gARTw3rks which can be viewed in FULL over on my FlickR Account. Go check’em out.. This particular group of paintings are priced to sell = mad low.  Still some prices are still negotiable even. Short a few bucks or think it’s still priced a lil high.. -Make me an offer. You’re also more than welcome to offer above advertised price if you believe the piece is worth more than advertised, are just a generous collector, and/or would like to definitely solidify a winning bid n’ future favor from the artist. Wink Wink.

To place bid: Comment or Message me here at Gar Lives dot calm or thru my email account via: algarhythm@gmail.com. Payment instructions will then be supplied and may be made through Paypal (which also accepts most major credit cards) or by mailing me a personal check or money order. Painting will be mailed the day of or after payment has cleared.

Thank you very much for your interest and support in my life’s w3rk!

Here’s the other fabulous news!… In an effort to get my gART on to the walls of more of my friends and fans, I am going to be selling atleast 90% of this collection of w3rks and they are all going to be priced to sell.  And I mean seriously priced to sell.  It’s just a guesstimate but I’m going to try and keep all prices $100 or less and some of the smaller paintings may be as low as $20!! So for those of you who’ve always wanted a killer piece of gARTw3rk but never thought you could afford it.  THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR LUCKY DAY.. in a 1 – 3 weeks that is.  I doubt that they’ll be a sale of gARTw3rks of this magnitude again anytime soon, if ever.  So just as soon as the entire series of 15 – 25 w3rks are all completed.  They’ll be going up onto a webpage with prices lower than sin.  Keep yer radars on, and I’ll let cha’s know just as soon as tis all ready.  First come first serve, and even though all the paintings prices will be low, it all will be negotiable even.  These paintings want/need to be on all of your walls.

Below are some photo’s to show you’s how things are looking so far, please keep in mind that none of these are 100% finished, but some are close enough to give you all the idea what the w3rk is looking like so far.  Also you can click on this link to view all 20 something images on my flickr account.  Note: All of these photos were taken in this morning’s Sunlight in my studio ala 1/27/2011.  After a very long night drafting, mixing, pontificating, and slinging’ some coloured pigment like skimboarder’s on mushrooms.

Classic and haunting. As is everything Mz. Andersson lays her hands on or puts her voice to. If you’re the artistically adventurous and eccentric type, check out anything you can by “Fever Ray”, and her and her brother’s experimental pop electronic group “The Knife”.
