It's Back and It's Better Than Ever! My 3rd Annual "Pay What You Can Sale"

 I'm a week late but better late than never!  My 'birthday' week was chock full of awesomeness, so much so that I didn't have time to get this event running as I should have.  
Thank you to all of you who messaged me to make sure I was still doing this special sale  for all of my cherished patrons and followers!  I appreciate all your enthusiasm and so glad you have grown to love this time of year as much as I do!

 This is my annual 'giftie' to my followers in the form of a Pay What You Can Sale.....Pay what you can...hmmmm...read on for all the details!  This is a long post with lots of items available along with some guidelines.  

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at jodiohl@hotmail.com .

HERE IS THE "FINE PRINT":

What is a Pay What You Can Sale?  Well,  a couple years ago I received an email from an inspirational speaker, author,  and artist that I admire  (Danielle Laporte) who offered a sale for one day only on one or two of her very popular (but pricey) book/programs and I thought now isn’t  that a coolio idea?!  I sat on the idea for a year and then THREE  years ago,  I decided to take a plunge and do my own version of the special for a LIMITED time, too!

If you stopped by last year, you may have got a SWEET deal, and hopefully this year you will find a deal or two as well. And this year is going to be another AMAZING Event!  You’ll see in just a moment! 

How This Works

“Pay What You Can”

• I will post suggested retail prices so you can gauge what those items typically sell at.
• Shipping is not included and pieces do not come matted or framed (for original art and prints) .
•  I will consider every offer submitted, but please only submit offers for items you intend on paying for if accepted.  It’s no fun trying to chase people down or decline someone else if someone staked a claim on an item and then disappears.
•  I do reserve the right to decline an offer that is well below cost or not truly a fair offer.
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

For example: I can not do a 3ox30 piece for you for 20.00... I’m sorry.  :)

I will also offer payment plans if you really want that 30x30 piece but would need to split payments up to make it happen!

In the event more than one person makes an offer, I will take the highest offer-but will notify the lower offer 1x  that they have been outbid so that person has a chance to  resubmit their initial offer.

Things to take into consideration:

Prints are made to order, please allow 10-14 days for delivery unless you want to upgrade to an expedited shipping. 

  I want YOU to get a deal and if you tell me you can only pay xyz as you are on a limited budget, it’s an honor system.  It’s not a good feeling if I see that same person the next day on Facebook talking about their trip around the world and total home renovation being on a limited budget. I know you get what I mean!! I’m just saying as that happened to me it almost made me reconsider doing this sale.

Most custom items will be worked on in January and into February and could take 2-4 weeks approximately  to complete, depending on how many orders and the complexity of the subjects.

  If you need your item sooner, please contact me before placing an order/offer.

For a limited time  I will post a variety of items in the following categories:  Supplies,  Prints, Originals,….and wait for it…. COMMISSION pieces during this “Pay What You Can” Event.

How do you make an offer?

I will post a link to a form you must fill out under each item offer in this event so I can have all the information in one place. 

 By the end of day Friday, December 23rd,  or sooner I will review all offers and let you know via email if your PWYC offer was accepted.

 Invoices will be sent out shortly thereafter.

Are you ready for the big reveal?  Here’s Jodi Ohl’s

Recap, Release, and a Giveaway!

Hello Everyone!  Happy Beginning of Summer to you!

I hope you are ready to launch into carefree days of BBQ-ing, swimming, vacationing, and family fun! In between those wonderful days filled with sunshine and sweet memories, I'm sure you'll be looking for  something creative to keep the muse flowing, right?  Well this month's big recap issue is full of possible events for you to attend as well as some a special pre-view of my new line of paintings that I'm so excited to share with you!

Take a look at some of the pieces in my new series:  Zen Paintings-Journeys and Pathways

I could probably write a whole article on how much this new series means to me--and I probably will on my blog soon, but in the mean time-my new series of Zen Paintings are making me more happy than anything has in a long time.  It's hard to explain other than I feel like I'm breaking through to some uncharted territory and there is no end in site. I have a ton of ideas for new paintings, color combinations and themes.Can you tell I'm super psyched about this new series???

Seeds of Hope-Sold

This first set is largely reminiscent of pathways, rocks, and geological structures.  While there is a few black and white pieces, there are others that have striking color combinations along with a few that are more subtle in the featured hue.  With titles like Seeds of Hope, Connections, Crossing Your Own Bridge,  Break Through...you can see where my mind is going while creating these intriguing abstracts.

I needed the peace...rather I NEED the peace that I feel while immersing myself in this process.

I crave the quiet solitude while painting. This is a slow process. It's not a sling the paint, scrape, scratch and repeat type of work. Rather, it's methodical.  It's not always controllable but yet you learn how to control what happens.  The process and outcome is not literal, rather you see things in the composition that transform with each glance.

I'm exploring and going through some unique personal breakthroughs--and this is my first release of what will be a growing collection with three main arms in the series, (Black and white, touch of color, and full color).

As newsletter subscribers-you are the first to see the grouping in their initial stage and have a chance to own an original.  Art is an investment, and I hope you believe in what I do and love it enough to want to add on to your collection or start one of my work today. :)

To see all of the new Zen Paintings,  stop over to my Etsy shop and check them out! Let me know what you think!!!

Thank you for joining me in this journey. I'm beyond grateful!

 *************************************************************************

Tons of Creative fun over the next coming months!

Upcoming Classes and Events:

June:

Art Journal Live-Learn from 4 world class mixed media and journaling artists during this action packed one day only class, June 16th at the Arlington Convention Center in Arlington, Texas!

Myself along with Gina Rossi Armfield,  Mary Beth Shaw, and Nathalie Kalbach will guide you through dozens and dozens of techniques along with several pages of art journal play.

Here's a sneak peek at a sample for my class-Character Studies:

Also in June-I'l be returning to Art More Place for a special 3 day whimsical and mixed media extravaganza-from acrylics to watercolors, birds, fishes and faces--we are going to have a blast anyway you look at it!  Did I mention that Art More Place in Melbourne Florida is a HUGE facility!  No cramped quarters while creating, each student has plenty of elbow room, sitting areas, and tons of inspiration in each and every nook and cranny!

Single Peeps,  Funky Little Fish,  and Face painting and Sketching primer  registrations can all be found by clicking the class titles or images for each workshop. I can't wait to see you there!!

July-I'll be enjoying a couple of weeks with my boys and family time before heading out for the first time to Washington State for 2 workshops over 4 days in Whidbey Island at the Pacific Northwest Art School!!!   This is going to be a blast and a great way to immerse yourself into acrylic painting, journal, and abstract fun!

Jam Packed and Abstract-  July 25-26: This is a class I'm soooo looking forward to! It'll be one of my first of many 2 day abstract classes featuring techniques and projects that'll be included in my new book coming out in the latter part of 2016, "Abstracts in Acrylic and Ink", published by North Light Books!

Funky Little Neighborhoods and Journal Jam-July 27 -28:   Bring your journals so we can jam on some pages and create the funkiest neighborhoods around town!   Based on my popular city paintings, these neighborhoods are full of quirky characters, fun elements and loads of color. Learn how to layer, shade and work with acrylics like you've always wanted to!

Looking forward.....This October--forget what you think you know about retreats, this October our newest ReMe Retreat, Reme-The Sandhills will blow you away!  We are pulling out the stops by pampering our students in so many ways, you'll walk away feeling cared for, inspired, and part of a growing community of ReMe Sisters.   

Space is extremely limited-so register early!  We also offer 4 payment plan options for your convenience!

Dates: October 19-23.  

Read all about ReMe and our newest retreat offering here!

Here's a photo gallery of some of our last few retreats highlights!
