December 1 is here! Ahhhh… the white days & nights, skiing, sweaters and scarves!

“It’s a Chilly Hot Snowflake” from artist Robin Maria Pedrero – so awesome, right?

I wanted to share this cool art piece selling on an Etsy shop called RobinMariaPedrero.  This piece is selling for $20.00.

The image is centered and printed on 8.5 inch by 11 inch 74lb Ultra Premium Photo Paper with Vivera HP Inks with a white border on the top and bottom and on the sides.

One of my favorite things about picking a favorite item from Etsy.com each day is learning about each seller.  Here’s a bit about Robin Maria Pedrero:

“Robin Maria Pedrero sat under the trees for several summers drawing on a huge chalkboard as a child and began fine art studies at the age of thirteen. She rode her bike where Foxwoods casino now sits near her hometown of Norwich, CT. Her early exhibitions began in a seaport town at The Mystic Art Association. Acknowledged for her luminous landscapes and captivating portraits Pedrero has since become an established award winning artist; published in magazines, newspapers, documentaries, and news broadcasts. Jeffrey Spalding judged her work best of show with a “magical use of color” as Director of the Appleton Museum in Ocala Florida. Pedrero is an elected signature member of the Pastel Society of America. Her art is a visual journey. Collected worldwide her works are in private and corporate collections. Pedrero is represented by several galleries in America. Pedrero works from her home studio in Longwood Florida, enjoying the company of her dog Max.”

Robin says she responds to what catches her eyes and heart, drawing and painting with colors, shapes and lines.

“Charcoal, pastel, graphite, colored pencil, ink, acrylic or oil paint are utilized on various papers, wood, or canvas. I capture life and simple pleasures applying rhythmic patterns and geometrics in translucent layers. I personify nature through color and movement evoking moods of transition, strength, joy and serenity. I use a symbolic visual language exploring the visible and invisible creating a commentary on relationships and thoughts. As I work the images can be unexpected flowing from gathered memories. Within the placed pigment I enhance my perceptions of faces, animals, cities or fauna to share them with the viewer. As an artist sometimes I am caught in the beauty of the moment, I stare at the world moving me to create a piece of art that is emotive and will stand through time.”

Lovely seller and awesome art!
