2/1: Local Artist Giving Away Her Paintings
January 30th, 2009
Local artist Irina Beffa is giving away 40 of her paintings on February 1. Here’s the email she sent to Around the Sun:
Hello Portland. I’m giving away all my art for FREE.
I’m Irina Beffa, an artist here in Portland who has big plans this year.
To kickstart my 2009, I’m getting rid of tons of paintings I’ve created in the last few years, mostly pop/modern acrylics and oils, that I have sitting around. While I love these pieces and am deeply attached to them, they’re taking up precious space and I would love to send them out into the world to enjoy their own 2009 adventure.
Instead of using my energy trying to sell my excess art, I’ve decided to share it with you, local Portland dynamos.
So, I’ve created a blog that features pictures of all 40 pieces of art that I’m getting rid of. Please visit this blog, browse and mentally claim a piece for yourself. Then, return THIS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST at NOON … and comment on the piece that you want. At that time I will enable blog comments and the first to comment on each piece will be the new owner. Upon claiming your piece, we will make arrangements so you can pick up your newly acquired art.
Please share this with others, post on your own blogs, or send to your mailing lists.
Drop me a line if you have questions or comments.
Thanks! I hope you have a fantastic 2009.

Just in case anyone else would like to know ahead of time, many of these images are definitely NOT G-rated! I was looking at the cute little balloon trees with my daughter when, um, well… I was NOT happy.

I’d loved to own the two paintings of rising action and happy ending. They both generate a warmth inside me that I can’t explain. It leaves me with a feeling of calm. My name is Trish. Please email trish.tv@gmail.com if I get these paintings
