Float Plane



Due to lack of sales on Cafepress, I've closed my premium store and opened a free basic store. I've featured my "float plane" painting in this basic store: http://www.cafepress.com/halsartfloat

I will have to open a new shop for each of my paintings. I am setting up a number of shops featuring a number of my aircraft paintings. It's a lot more work to set up but it may be better for potential customers, and perhaps with more stores listed, more people will find my shops. I had a good percentage of sales of people who actually visited my shop. It's just that it was extermely rare to have a visitor to my shop. In fact in the six months the shop was open, I had a total of seven visitors. AAH, hope sprints eternal, maybe a shotgun approach will snare more visitors.

Everyone have a happy new year and may your favorite team win its bowl game. West Virginia Mountaineers won their bowl game, so I'm happy. I just hope the Patriots can get into the playoffs.

Flying Low


This an acrylic painting, 10 by 13 inches of the Beaver float plane. It is an aircraft used extensively on the lakes of Canada. It's one of the most reliable aircraft around and I think it's made in Canada. Good for our Canadian brothers.
I've always been partial to radial engines, they just exude power. The painting has been sold. Due to the non standard side, I have not had any prints made because I am unable to get precut mats for them.
