Augustus Saint-Gaudens was a wonderful sculptor, especially of bas-relief. He also contributed designs for U.S. coins at the beginning of the 20th century, including the infamous double eagle. Modern U.S. bullion for gold and silver use a Saint-Gaudens design. The Silver Eagle is 1 troy ounce of 99.9% silver.

Awhile back I read an article about 'daily painters', and in it there was a mention of Duane Keiser, and how he had this idea for selling some small works that he had done; "...he threw a party in his studio and invited all his friends to "100 Paintings for $100." I liked the idea enough that I thought it'd be a good thing for me to shoot for as I make the transition from a great full time job to the life of a full time painter. Of course life, as it often does, intrudes. I don't yet have 100 paintings done (I'm at +38 as of this writing), and I don't have a party scheduled.

I do however, have an image for the invitations!

Yikes!
