My art swap arrived in save conditions in USA. Jason Barre is the happy owner of my drawing with those 2 lovers. Jason Barre is a great painter artist. Coincidently I was watching his work, on Twitter. He plays nice with the colours, knowing how to reduce a gamma of a painting to only 2 or 3 colors.

Go on his website and see more of his works ;)

He wrote on his blog about how excited was to receive my drawing.

Here is what he said:

David Pringle (@dpringle on Twitter) had a brilliant idea one day that when shared, soon spanned scross the globe: Art Swap 2010. Artists from all over the world trading their work with one another on the honor system.  The honest, tight creative community online honored David’s inspiring idea and committed to it. I was one of the fortunate participants!

So it was upon my awaking to a knock on the door this afternoon, that I received my art swap piece. A very well packed artwork from Hodoroaba Ancuta Iuliana ( @julliaH on Twitter & Facebook Fan page ) comes all the way from Romania.

Upon opening the package I was immediately awestruck at the beautiful art that sat before me.

Included was a very kind hand written letter sealed with wax. The seal had been imprinted with the letter “j”. I was very careful and manged to open the letter without breaking the seal.

The humidity here is very high today so after I shot these photos the piece was wrapped back up to protect it from curling. I’ll pick up a approprate frame this week to put the drawing in so I can display it in the main foyer for all visitors to see and enjoy.

I am still waiting for the piece of art that should have to arrive to me. When I’ll have news about this, I’ll update this post :)

U P D A T E:

Yupyy :D I have finally received my art swap :D A very interesting little painting. It’s from Allison Martínez from Puerto Rico. I didn’t knew her, but now I do, and more than that, I am able to see live one of her works.. and own it. Of course that the first think that I did was to enter her website and see more of her works. She has an interesting style of painting. Every painting is small (as a dimension) but it has a message, it has always something to say, to communicate. And that’s a think I always appreciate to an artist.

Here are some of her works (go on Allison Martínez web page to see more):

And here is the painting she sent me:

Thank you Allison very very much! I really like it! Be sure that I’ll keep it save ;)
