How about Sending This One?
Time Running Out? Try My FREE Online Greeting Cards 

It's getting closer to Christmas; time to send one of my free Online Greeting Cards. Most cards are $.99 at Hallmark.com, and even for the cheapest Walmart card, you've got postage and a trip to the Post Office.

Why not send something with some local flavor to the art and animal lovers on our list?

It's REALLY easy. No logins, no annoying music, no payment. You can add font effects, and even get a message when the card is picked up. You've got nine images to choose from, including "Mewwhy Quasmus" featured here. The original 30"x40" "Neon Duck" painting was based on an actual duck I fed at Country Park near the Natural Science Center in Greensboro. She was the very mild-mannered (unlike the boisterous geese surrounding him), so she was my favorite. The original sold shortly before Christmas last year, but it is still available in cards and prints.


Other Notes: 
  • Don't miss the Cosmic Cow Society exhibit at the Community Arts Cafe in Winston-Salem. The show has been extended until the middle of January. At the show you will see my "Collection of Flies" and more...
  • I've completed a handful of other website upgrades, including a "jump" menu on the navigation bar with links to the most popular pages. I've also refined the look somewhat to make all of the pages more consistent. You'll also notice a new effect in the masthead with the picture rotation!

O, the Weather Outside is Frightful...

O, the Weather Outside is Frightful....

So, we got our snow (ice), with more to come..... What a great time to kick back and send some FREE online greeting cards. 

The site is very easy to use. It even features a "fancy editor" that lets you style your words with finesse. Nine festive images are available, with variety for every flavor, even one with a little snow. The original "Tazewell Mountain" didn't have any snow, of course, but I bet it will starting tonight and this weekend.

Christmas is Getting Closer....A Card for Everybody

FREE Online Greeting Cards and Other News
It's getting closer to Christmas; time to send one of my free Online Greeting Cards. Most cards are $.99 at Hallmark.com, and even for the cheapest Walmart card, you've got postage and a trip to the Post Office.

Why not send something with some local flavor to the art and animal lovers on our list?

It's REALLY easy. No logins, no annoying music, no payment. You can add font effects, and even get a message when the card is picked up. You've got nine images to choose from, including "Wooly Christmas" featured here. The original 30"x40" "Shaggy Sheep" painting was based on a sheep at the petting zoo at the Natural Science Center in Greensboro. People have often commented on the texture and color. I like to think I captured this animal's gentle personality. The original sold shortly before Christmas last year, but it is still available in cards and prints.

I've been hard at work on MY WEBSITE. If you haven't taken a look lately, please do! I have it decorated for the holidays, but I've also added some visual effects, totally rebuilt the site to make pages easier to find, and also added a contact page. My site has an image gallery, but also has separate pages to showcase my cards and prints. There's even an interactive page where you can play with the animals from my paintings!

If you'd like to know more about my work, I was just featured in a newspaper article available online below:

Scott Plaster featured in the Mountain Times...

I've been featured in an article in the Mountain Times in Watauga County, and the article appears online!

"Scott Plaster started painting as a very young boy, using tempura paints and cheap ox-hair brushes to color in the Picasso-esque figures his dad drew on manilla drawing paper. It wasn't long until by age 10 he was oil painting on his own easel in his parent's basement, using the recipes in an adult-level book to mix his own painting mediums.


Nearly 30 years later, Plaster is now exhibiting and selling his work in galleries across North Carolina. "There was a time when I had no idea how to get a gallery to even look at my work, and now it has been difficult keeping galleries and shops stocked with my paintings and prints," Plaster said...  READ MORE...."

 I hope you take the time to READ the ARTICLE.

Follow Your Own Star....

Follow Your Own Star ...

It's even closer to Christmas -- time to think about holiday wishes for the ones you know and care about. With times being tight, online greeting cards are a great way to share with your family and friends. The site is very easy to use. It even features a "fancy editor" that lets you style your words with finesse. Nine festive images are available, with variety for every flavor, even including a few of my landscapes like the modified "Moonrise Sunset" featured here. This painting was inspired by my annual fishing trip to Topsail Beach with my father, Wayne. We didn't have much luck fishing but really enjoyed the hospitality of some other Davidson County natives who happened to be there, who even gave us some of the bluefish they caught. On one of my trips back to the room, I snapped a photo of the moon rising over the ocean just after the sun went down. I couldn't wait to get home to paint it! I quickly sold the original but offer this image in high-quality matted and framed prints. They're even available for sale online and I will deliver them free to anywhere in the Triad! Check my website and see they Buy it Now button; you get a beautifully framed 16" x 20" for only $58. See the original image and buy it at My Website.

What a cool greeting card! I hope you'll take advantage of this offering and send them to your friends and family!
