      Typically I don't make prints available from my work until after the original piece sells. But these new "Play Ball" series of paintings are different - they are generating a lot of interest and inquiries about reproductions.   So, as always, I will continue to offer the "Play Ball" original artworks for sale. First come, first served - this part hasn't changed.   What HAS changed is that, for the first week after the original is completed, reproductions can be ordered. I will include an order link with the email blast, blog link, and on Facebook.   After that first week, if the original has sold, prints will continue to be available. The same links will be active.   If the original has NOT sold, I will discontinue the prints option and offer only notecards until the original has a new home.   Think of it like a limited time offer. If you see an image you love and want a repro of, jump on i...
