Abstract Painting Sale

Hi Folks,

Just thought I get the message out there that I'm currently offering some of my older abstract paintings at massively reduced prices as I need to make way for newer pieces in production. I've recently taken on some large corporate commissions which pretty much filled the studio making it difficult to paint so I need to let go of some of my stock giving myself more space to work. Not only are prices heavily reduced but greater savings are available with a buy 2 get a further 10% off , buy 3 or more get 15% off. As standard I offer free global shipping so no additional costs at checkout.

Full details of which abstract paintings are included in the sale are available on my website .http://simonkenny.artweb.com/abstract-art-gallery .

Here's a few of the pieces currently on offer:

Herald, mixed media on canvas 48 x 36" SOLD

Solar, mixed media on canvas 40 x 40" SOLD

To the Light, oil on canvas, 40 x 30" SOLD

The Force of One, mixed media on canvas 36 x 36" SOLD

Where Dreams May Lie, oil on canvas, 50 x 40" SOLD

The Valley of Kings, oil on canvas, 40 x 40" SOLD

Elements, mixed media on canvas, 48 x 36" SOLD


The Pillars of Dawn, mixed media on canvas, 36 x 36" SOLD

Escaping Orion, mixed media on canvas, 39 x 39", SOLD

Where the Wind Blows, oil on canvas, 36 x 36" SOLD

Cygnus, oil on canvas, 36 x 24"SOLD

Other heavily reduced paintings are also available on website. Purchases can be made direct through the site, paintings will be dispatched with in 48 hours and using a next day delivery service in the UK and a priority shipping service for international deliveries. So if you're looking for original paintings at affordable prices hopefully this is a good opportunity to start building a collection without breaking the bank.

Commissions are welcome, lead times are currently 2-3 weeks dependent on requirements so a quick turnaround. A 50% advanced deposit required and discounts are available for large orders.  Ordering a commission is a very simple process. We discuss the specification of the work required, then I send a quote. If the quote is agreed an invoice will be raised and where the deposit will need to be paid. Within the quote is an estimated time frame and once the work has been completed I send a few hi res photos. If the client is satisfied with the painting the final invoice is raised requesting the outstanding balance to be cleared and once paid the delivery is booked. 

I spend a small fortune on shipping artwork safely and this entails about 45 mins work alone per painting. I start with wrapping the work in thick brown paper, then adding a few inches of bubble or polystyrene wrap, then a 3mm layer of hardboard taped over the face and back, then the art is sealed in a double walled cardboard box and shrink wrapped. Although this may add considerable weight to the parcel it ensures safe transit so any knocks or bumps along the way wont damage the artwork. I use either UPS or Fed-Ex for the majority of my shipping as they offer a very reliable courier service which can be tracked upon collection. For extra large canvases I ship using TNT as they take paintings up to 90" x 90" without any problems and for even larger paintings or very large orders I use a man plus van service.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me at simonkenny@eskayfineart.co.uk

Large Abstract Paintings

Hi Folks,

Following an incredibly busy week painting I have two new works for you to take a look at below. Both are textured oil paintings on large canvases measuring 48" x 48" square so plenty of wall space required to hang them.

The first is a commission piece titled "Destiny", the second , titled "Of What Remains"  is available via my website http://simonkenny.artweb.com/abstract-art-gallery .

Details of the two as follows:

" Destiny" oil on canvas. 48 x 48"
Sold, similar available by commission.

" Of What Remains" oil on canvas. 48 x 48"
Available via my website by clicking the link above.

I'm currently available for commission work, should you be interested lead times are currently 2-3 weeks dependent on requirements. Further information available upon request by contacting me at simonkenny@eskayfineart.co.uk

On another note have any of you had contact from scammers?

Frustratingly over the past few weeks there seems to have been increase in emails received from scammers which results in nothing but a waste of time. There's always been a trend with these types to target people  offering higher value items for sale but the annoying and sometimes highly amusing thing is there seems to be just a hand of formatted emails they use. Recently its been the age old " I work on an oil rig" or some type of "deep seas vessel" and "I want to use my own shipping agent, please contact yourcourier@fastshipping.com" which is just a front. 

It still amazes me that this is supposedly highly organized crime yet globally there seems to be only handful standard formatted emails that are used. Over the past few weeks I been contacted a couple of times, both from " Deep sea workers" , and although they want to purchase "4 or 5 paintings" each, they have no idea of the prices, sizes or any other relevant details about the work. Although I'm no language professor the use of grammar in their emails is virtually none existent and spelling doesn't seem a priority. What's probably the most amusing part, which has happened to me a few times now is one these guys had one name for his gmail address, he opened the message introducing himself with a different name, and signed off using another, so three different names in total, probably all of his aliases. I ignored this guys first email, then just a week later received another email from him with yet again a new name for his email account. Well thought out " Mohd, Blessing Nelson, Jo-Jo and Jonas7434. This time not only is he going to purchase 5 paintings with no idea of size, colour, composition or price but he's also passed my details on to his friend, lucky me, who's going to purchase a number of pieces himself. 

You'd assume they would read over these emails at least once to check there's no glaring errors but it appears to have little importance to these scammers. Personally I would have thought their success would be measured by the ability they have of being convincingly deceptive so I can only wonder how using the same email over and over again can produce much more than a laugh or an insulting response. Sadly I'm sure they must have success somewhere in the world or they wouldn't continuously keep trying to find a way to empty my bank account so I guess we'll all just have to endure more of the same.

Thanks for stopping by.
