Welcome to my Gallery . In this you will find many outstanding paintings that are great to give to family, friends or someone close to you.

You will view a large variety or watercolors and oils. These gifts can be given for birthdays, Christmas, Valentine’s day or even just for any occasion. If you would like to put a smile on someone’s face, give them a gift that can be kept and admired for many days, months, years or even generations.  And you’ll see that the cost of many paintings on this site go directly to charity or a percentage does -- Parkinson’s Disease, Cancer, ALS, USO soldier holiday program, or your choice of charity.  To move to

any page on this site, go to the top of any page and click on the name of the page.  And come back regularly because I’ll be adding new

paintings.

As I have grown up, I have seen these blank white canvases go from a light shade of any color to an amazing picture that has a meaning and a place to it. In this gallery you will mostly see paintings by my favorite artist -- my mother, Kathleen Reardon .  Sometimes we’ll have guest artists and scenic views and area photography done by my father, Christopher Noblet who is also working with me on this site on the orders, financial, and mailing end.

When I first see a picture or photo like the ones you’ll see, the first thing that comes to my mind is “Boy do I want that in my room or what!”  So please take a look at what could be hanging in any part of your house or office or given as a gift to someone special.

This is my first entrepreneurial venture. I love having my mom’s paintings and know many others do.  Other artists call her a “lyrical painter,” which means people find stories in her paintings like her landscapes and water scenes. Sometimes you think you see someone in the doorway, a boat in the distance, wonder what’s in a little shed or who lives here. These paintings have special meaning to people who admire them. And owning them just makes a difference. Everyday you see something different in them.  And if you haven’t met her, this is her in the photo to the right.

YOUR FAVORITE PAINTINGS ON CARDS

Many people have requested cards of my mom’s paintings, but in the past  she didn’t have them. The ones on this site were just made this year and many more will be too. If you would like, you also have the option of picking a painting and having it made into cards.

They come in packages of three or more.  Just click on the page “Cards” at the top of this page.  They have the name of the painting handwritten on the front and on the back a description of it and the artist.  They’re lovely!  And they can be framed too!  So they’re gifts themselves!

PAINTINGS FOR CHARITY

A full page of this site is dedicated to paintings for charity (Click on Charity at top of this page). If you would like to pick a painting and make a donation to a charity of your choice , or the APDA, Parkinson Foundation or Michael J Fox Foundation, I will send you your painting for free.  My mom and dad did this two years ago and raised a lot of money for charity.  We’re continuing it this year.  There are paintings on other pages on the site that are also partially for charity. 

COMMISSION A PAINTING

You can also commission a painting.  You might choose one of the ones on this site which is already sold, or request one, by sending a photo of your favorite scene.  You can choose oil or watercolor.  An oil will take a while to dry, but is worth the wait.  Just e-mail me!=)

You can contact me at shan1745@hotmail.com. 

To contact Kathleen to tell her what you think of her art or arrange a painting, she’s a docreardon@aol.com.

I look forward to hearing from you.
