This fall I have been creating lots of small affordable original watercolors. The first offering was at the Handmade Holiday Festival in Dalton last weekend. These are the pieces that remain. They are all original, no prints will be made, matted to standard size 11 x 14. There are 5 that are already framed (they are at the bottom of the page).

Matted, unframed are $150 plus tax and shipping. Framed are $200 (or unframed at $150). Contact me if you would like to purchase one. I can mail out right away, or if local, come to my studio. 

Contact me to make sure your choice is available, because once gone, it is gone. I will try to mark as sold.

Credit cards accepted via paypal.

The following 5 are framed but can be sold unframed if desired.

Handmade Holiday Festival
December 7 – 8, 2019

(click here for details)

On December 7-8, I will be exhibiting at the Handmade Holiday Festival at the Stationery Factory in Dalton, Mass. I have been paintings lots of small affordable originals, matted to 11″ x 14″ and ready for your standard size frame. I’m not making prints of these, so they are truly unique and one of a kind. Most are $150 or less. First come, first serve. 

Here is a collage of the new works you will see…….

This happens just once a year…..prices are mostly half the web price, some even more than half….time to reduce inventory!!!!

     Marguerite Bride will be one of the artists exhibiting in the Becket Arts Center’s first group exhibit of the season which runs June 22 – July 7. Gallery hours are Thursday – Sunday, 12 noon – 4 PM.  In addition to Bride’s watercolors, see works by Ben Mancino, Patricia Hogan, Joseph Tracy, and Sean McCusker. Come to the opening reception on June 22, at 2 PM.  The Becket Arts Center is located at 7 Brooker Hill Road in Becket, Mass.

     Also, a new assortment of Marguerite Bride’s watercolors – small matted originals (spring/summer village scenes), were just delivered to Hancock Shaker Village.

     Now is a great time to commission a house portrait or favorite scene you would like captured in a watercolor. Paintings (or even a personalized gift certificate, then I work directly with the recipient) make a cherished and personal gift for weddings, retirement, new home, old home, anniversaries…..any occasion is special. Commission work is always welcome. Be in touch directly with the artist…it is guaranteed to be a fun adventure!

     Bride’s solo exhibit, “Jazz Visions”, 22 original watercolors, mostly on canvas, are on “long-term” exhibit at 51 Park Tavern in Lee, Massachusetts.

     Fine art reproductions and note cards of Berkshire images and others by the artist are also available at the Red Lion Inn Gift Shop (Stockbridge), Lenox Print & Mercantile (Lenox), Good Purpose Gallery (Lee); and a variety of other fine gift shops, and also directly from the artist.

Each week  until December 14, I will post “specials” and they will be available for the week posted only. I hope you find something you love! Just contact me to take advantage of these deals. I’ll ship them right out to you.
