Limited Edition Prints Have Arrived

After much too-ing and fro-ing the first of the limited edition prints have arrived and will be available at the Fair Trade Cafe from this week onwards. We hadn't appreciated quite how long or how expensive it was to ship a few prints to Nicaragua and back. Ultimately, they arrived back in the USA, having been signed by artist Luis Varela, via a relative living in Miami! All's well that ends well and they did arrive safely on Friday.

These, we hope, will be the first of many sets of limited edition prints by a variety of artists from around the world. It is a great way for collectors to acquire some very fine works of art at a price far below that of the originals. The first in our series, as I said, is by a Nicaraguan artist, Luis Varela Aguirre and is entitled 'Cascada'. I have to say that Luis' work is among some of my favorite - the detail and the vibrancy of his works are truly remarkable. There is a great 'vibe' to his paintings.

Luis, originally from Grenada, has exhibited both in Europe, Israel and the USA, as well as Nicaragua. We hope soon to have our limited edition prints available online through this blog. The blog is currently being redesigned, so watch this space. The print run is limited to 500 copies; each 28" X 20" in size, are all signed and numbered by the artist, and cost $250 unframed.

Progress with Limited Edition Prints

After several months of organising I finally picked up the first batch of limited edition prints yesterday. We are hoping to expand this range in the future and are currently working with three artists from Nicaragua. The first print is of a painting called "Cascada" by artist Luis Varela. His works are stunning in their colour and detail and have been exhibited as far away as Israel and Spain, as well as in the U.S. and have won numerous competitions. We shall be offering a limited edition of 500 prints, each signed and numbered by the artist, and selling unframed for $250.

Our newly designed blog will be up very soon, courtesy of Dave Kellett of Dude Blog Your Business, and we are planning to have these prints available online through the blog as well as through the Fair Trade Cafe.
