New video

9/16/2009 • • 0 comments

I've pieced together a new video presentation of, specifically, my landscape paintings from the last year or two. The running time is about 4 minutes and the video features my song, "Schnee Variation," which appeared on an album I created back in 2006 (has it been 4 years already!?). If you're interested, the album has been available on iTunes and at other select music services for a few years.

I hope you enjoy it!


New website and web store!

8/19/2009 • • 4 comments

I've recently updated my homepage (http://www.chadwys.com) with a new look and lots of new information.


The most notable addition is a larger selection of image galleries, including some of my photography and graphic design work.


 

Last, but not least, I've also added a new Online Shop, in which I have already included several paintings for sale exclusively through my personal website. (Of course, my Etsy shop is still very much active: cwysart.etsy.com.) Be sure to check my new shop out often as I plan on adding lots of new stuff in the future.


Everything is fresh off the presses, so please let me know if you encounter any broken links, dead ends, horribly misspelled words, or mangled design. I've tried hard to avoid any of that, but it's bound to show up somewhere.

In celebration of my 300 sales on Etsy.com (and nearly 600 artwork sales since 2005), I thought I might give something back for a change.

The artwork is offered without matting or frame - that part is left up to the winner. I've shown it here in a frame so that you can see what it might look like.
