Franz Bader Bookstore Closing--final days 40% sale

"Two Pears", Oil on Panel, 6x6 inches
Jerry Lebo, 2007

I went over to the Franz Bader Bookstore today. I hadn't been there is a while, since I have been traveling. If you recall I posted about its pending closure some time back. See my August blog list or the link below.


Anyway, for the month of September all books were marked 30% off--but I missed this sale due to my travel. In October, the sale has been increase to 40%. I can tell you, the books are going fast out the door at these prices, so I urge you to go over there and see if there is something you want before it is too late. I spent around 1/2 hour over there today and got 5 books for $60. There are still a few worth looking at, but they won't last long. Sabine told me the store will close forever in around 2 weeks, if the books last that long.


That's all for now. Just wanted to alert you to the sale and urgency to get a few art books before they are all gone. Hope you enjoyed the painting as well.


Here is a link to my previous post where there is a map and more info on the Franz Bader Bookstore.


All the best, sixtyminuteartist.

  3. Glad I landed on your blog today :-) Loved seeing your work. Art is much like writing. Can't be done in 60 minutes, but consistent effort pays off eventually.

  7. Your paintings are great! I used to paint when I was younger, but now just don't have the time...My husband, an illustrator does not have the time to do them as well, so my kids are the only ones left to do it =)

    Btw, you might wanna filter your comments so this nuts wont bombard you with useless stuff! Keep up your work! Hope someday you'll have more than the 60 minutes!

  8. Very nice. I remember in college (I went to school in Russia) our painting instructor made us do exactly that - paint 45 -60 min sketches. He always believed that the "finished" look of the painting comes not from painting one painting for years, but painting all the time, quick sketches much like what you are doing. Great work.

    also can't image you not finding a market, keep working on that as well.. so hard to find balance isn't it!?

  10. Your works are truly eye-candy. It's delightful that I came to pass by your blog! (AND you made me wish that I could paint... but I weren't cultivated towards that, perhaps when the right time comes... ;D)

    Take care!


    xxoo

  12. Thanks to all for the supportive comments. I was starting to feel a bit lonely, now I see there are many kindered souls out there. I will be posting a new landscape painting soon, so check back.

  13. I admire your great talent and perseverance. To maintain your devotion to arts while still fulfilling everyday commitments is not an easy task.

  14. I'm glad I stumbled across your blog. I've just started a new one myself and need the encouragement and enthusiasm of other artists. 60 mins a day is a great idea and I suppose my new blog is my attempt at making me focus on my art work more. Your blog is a great inspiration. Thank you.

  19. Love your blog, you said something that really spoke to me (where I am with my own art, a disillusioned, what's the point kind of place) you said :
    The world needs artists, and if you are an artist, you need art.
    THANK YOU
    and also
    I really love your painting ' two pears'
    I think your blog is going to help a lot of artists like me, who sort of lost the plot for a while, what you said, says it all. happy painting.
