Time for my annual Spring sale in my Etsy.com shop, this year at 35% off. Offerings include my Roman fresco-style bird paintings, some mock early-American wall stencil designs, and facsimile Paleolithic cave art drawings. All feature textured backgrounds and aged appearances, which are sort of my trademark. To check it out, please visit www.etsy.com/shop/GregoryLeFeverStudio.

Detail of a fresco-style painting I'm working on. It's on wood panel with a plaster-textured ground, aged to resemble wall paintings from the Roman era.

I'm pleased with the sale last week of this painting, one of my favorites inspired by prehistoric cave art. I'm considering the sale a fine omen as I'm finally getting my studio back in shape after months of chaos. The big water/sewer project in our old Victorian house began in March, starting off with jackhammering the basement concrete floor of my studio/workshop ~ meaning I had to dismantle my creative workspace, and just this week have been able to put things back in order. Yay!

Meanwhile, my little Etsy shop is pretty depleted and only yesterday was I able to once again start actually painting again. (I must admit that the "time off" gave me a fine opportunity to contemplate and focus my creative direction, which is a good thing.)

I derived this particular painting from the famous "Panel of Horses" in France's Chauvet Cave. My cave-inspired paintings are based on prehistoric images found in caves in France and Spain, many dating back 37,000 years. I've studied these remarkable images for years, fascinated by the way shaman artists captured the spirit of Paleolithic beasts who shared their world.

Here's "Lions" from my Cave Art series, derived from the famous 37,000-year-old Lions Panel in the Chauvet Cave in France. The simple yet fierce Chauvet images are among the oldest artwork painted by humans. My 16x30-inch rendition's heavily textured background replicates the stone walls of the Chauvet Cave. "Lions" sold recently.

One of my 9x12-inch artworks inspired by early American wall stenciling, this one from an early 1800s design uncovered in a New England historic home.

From the product description in my Etsy shop: "I use authentic period stencil designs from early artists known and unknown. Surfaces are textured using plaster and acrylic gel onto ¼-inch wood panels for the look and feel of early plaster walls where stenciled decorations have been revealed."

"Vulture" is one of my series of bird paintings with heavily textured backgrounds and mildly aged main images. It's 11x14 inches on a 1/4-inch wood panel. It recently sold.

"Yellow Bird" is an 11x14-inch fresco-inspired painting where I've used plaster and acrylic gel to create a textured surface on 1/4-inch wood panel. The effect resembles frescoes recovered from ancient sites. This bird is taken from a portion of fresco from the Roman city of Pompeii, dating back to the 79 AD eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.

Introduced a new series of "Bird" paintings in my Gregory LeFever Studio shop on etsy earlier today. Here's "Pigeon." I love old frescos, where the plaster has aged and taken a toll on the images. That's the effect I want for my bird paintings. The first of the series is at www.etsy.com/shop/GregoryLeFeverStudio.
