Original Art Sale Preview | May 20, 2026

I typically post my previews a few days ahead of an original art sale, but May has been so busy that this sale snuck up on me!

The next original art sale is tomorrow, Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 1:00 pm Eastern (New York) or noon for presale subscribers.  If you subscribe HERE, you can shop the sale before it opens to everyone else.  (This isn’t a blog subscription.  You will only receive emails with presale information for this and future original art sales.)

In this original art sale, I have pieces ranging from some Index Card Art Project landscapes ($65) to a 12 x 16 black lab portrait ($650).  This collection includes still life paintings featuring clementines, blueberries, and cherries.  There are landscapes from Maryland, South Carolina, and England.  And I have a few animal portraits available, including Cotswold cows, sheep, and a couple of dogs.

As usual, this post provides a preview of all available works, including sizes, substrates, and prices, so you can consider a potential purchase.  Please let me know if you have any questions about the paintings or the purchasing process. Here are details and tips for shopping the sale…

The sale will go live HERE.  Paintings will be accessible to presale subscribers with a password at noon and to everyone at 1:00.

• We’ll send out an email reminder to both presale subscribers and blog subscribers prior to the sale.
• The paintings are first-come, first-served.  There is only one of each, and they typically sell quickly.
• For faster, secure checkout, set up an account and sign in HERE before the sale starts.  (Select “sign in” or “create an account”)
• Shipping with tracking and insurance is free in the US.  I do ship internationally to Canada, Europe, and Australia.  ($0 – $399: $30, $400 – $450: $50, $500+: $100.)  Let me know if you would like to purchase from a country/continent not on that list!  If anything is amiss with the shipping, just continue to checkout, and I will refund overages.
• If you do miss out on a painting, you can send me an email, and I will give you early access before my next sale goes live.
• Presales are available to collectors (those who have already purchased original art from me) as well as those who have missed out on paintings in previous sales.  Please email me at marian@missmustardseed.com to let me know which painting you would like to purchase.  (This is why some paintings may be marked SOLD before the sale.)
• All paintings are finished with Gamvar Gloss and are meant to be framed without glass, except for the index card paintings and the seascape on archival oil paper.  All paintings are labeled, signed, and dated.
