New Works on Ebay Soon!

Hello everyone!

Please be watching my Ebay page, as I will very soon be listing new small works!  The exciting thing is that these will be my professional quality works on linen, framed and ready to hang.

These are small works using high quality, archival materials that will last for generations.  I'm using my professional Williamsburg oils on the best durable Belgian linen canvas made by Claessens Artist Canvas out of Waregem, Belgium.  And of course, on top of that, I will be framing them and preparing them for hanging with simple yet quality black square frames that will go with any surroundings wherever you choose to hang them.

I am only offering small works from 6x6" to 8x10", which will allow for ease of shipping through USPS, and will in turn also allow me to ship them FREE.  The prices will likely range from $165 - $450 depending on canvas size and subject.  And again, FREE SHIPPING!

Here is one example of a simple 8x10" figurative painting that I will be offering:


I am currently working on several 6x6 nature pieces that will look great anywhere.  I just began work on a 6x6 today with the red umber sketch:


Such small works as these I have entered and been accepted into national shows across the country through the National Oil and Acrylic Painters' Society, and now I am offering them at fair and affordable prices through Ebay.  My hope as always is to get my work in front of eyes, and to make them available for everyone to acquire for their own collections.  And with coronavirus sadly still an issue, getting into shows has been a bigger challenge than usual for me.  So I want to offer these paintings directly to you from me.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me as a fine artist both through your appreciation and through your patronage.  Please keep following this blog and my Ebay page https://www.ebay.com/usr/ryandart as new paintings become available!

More to come soon!

Small Paintings Galore!

The new year is well underway, and I have some thoughts and plans for 2021 that will hopefully start coming to fruition soon.  

As it stands now, I don't have any upcoming shows to announce.  Normally, I'd be announcing the Blue Springs Fine Art Show right about now, but it doesn't seem as though it's happening this year (at least I haven't heard anything).  So until we can finally get back to normal after coronavirus has stopped ruining our lives, the task continues of figuring out creative ways of getting my work in front of your eyes.

Lately, I've been working on a bunch of new small pieces, mainly 6x6 linen panels.  But I've compiled some other small works from the past year or two that I will be selling on Ebay.  These will not be the same $30-50 paintings I was selling last summer.  These are crafted from my professional, archival  materials and will be sold framed and ready to hang.  I am keeping them small for ease of shipping, and so that I can offer FREE shipping as well.  

Here's a peek at some of the small pieces I have so far:


It is possible that not all of these will be offered on Ebay, as I might submit them for shows.  Here is one that I am particularly fond of that I will likely enter for NOAPS BOA Small Paintings Exhibition:

Still #2
oil on linen
8x6"

"Stillness" is a series that I am getting into that simply has to do with tranquility and silence.  I did a small painting in 2017 called "Still" which remains one of my favorite small portrait pieces, and I want to continue with a small series of images that are similar in nature.  No matter how many times I enjoy creating bold, provocative images in my work, I always seem to feel God directing me back to stillness and simplicity, and His words "Be still, and know I am God" speaking to me.  And if ever there was a need for stillness, it is in our current time.

As always, I have more to come, and you can rest assured as I spend less time on Facebook I will be updating this blog more often with new work, announcements, and all kinds of other great things.

Important Studio Update 1/13/21

Hello friends,

I wanted to give an important update regarding the future of my Ryan Delgado Art page on Facebook.

I have been spending less and less time every day on Facebook because I have reached the point where I can no longer stand to keep logging on to my account.  It seems that Facebook has doubled down, and managed to reach new lows each and every day on the censorship of speech and expression by deleting pages and silencing ideas.  In addition, I don't think I even have to mention the fact that many artists have had their work censored over the years, myself included.  I am appalled at the behavior and direction that Mark Zuckerberg has taken this platform, not to mention the extreme division in the country that has made Facebook a completely toxic place to be.  I want no part of it anymore.

However, it isn't so easy to just delete my Facebook page and be done with it.  I wish somehow I could take my friends, supporters, and clients that appreciate and follow my work with me.  But I haven't figured out how to do that.  That is, to direct each of you to another platform where you are readily able to see my work, updates, show announcements, etc. and stay connected as you have been through Facebook.  I would direct you to join Parler and follow my account again, however, Parler has been completely shut down to EVERYONE in another coordinated attempt by Apple, Google, and Amazon to shut down speech.

So I am left uncertain of what to do.  But I can tell you that my days on Facebook are indeed numbered.  Once I have determined what my next step will be, I will be letting all of my Facebook followers know.  In the meantime, please consider the following alternatives to stay in the loop and to continue following my work:

*I will be making many more frequent updates here on my blog.  Please bookmark my home page and stay connected here!

*Please join and follow me on Instagram @ryandelgadoart

*If and when Parler is back in business, please join and follow me @RyanDArt

*As always, please message me at ryandelgadoart@gmail.com for inquires on my work, shows, etc.

Thank you, everyone.  Please stay tuned for more!

-Ryan
