Greetings!

Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there! In honor of you, a few quotes to make you smile...

"Small boy's definition of Father's Day: It's just like Mother's Day only you don't spend so much." -- Unknown

"A father is a guy who has snapshots in his wallet where his money used to be." -- Unknown

"By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong." -- Charles Wadsworth

"A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma." -- Marlene Dietrich

Upsize Your Image!

Enlarge Your Peonies!

Increase Your Size!

Okay, we're not selling gray market pharmaceuticals here...but for the next two weeks we ARE giving you a great incentive to try an image in the next size up.

Here's how it works:
 
Order five Lumira prints of the same image in any size and get one print (same image) in the next larger size for the same price.

For example:
 
Order 5-8x10 Lumira prints of any one image at $7.05 each, and get one 11x14 of that same image for the same price! That's a savings of $4.95 over the single 11x14 price!
 
Want to save more?

Buy 5-16x20 Lumira prints of any one image for $17 each, and get one 20x24 for the same price! That's a savings of $13 off the single 20x24 price! Or buy 5-20x30's and get one 27x40 at the same price. The choice is yours!
 
Need help?

Just give Greg or Mike a call in Customer Service and they will assist you in figuring out the next proportional size up.
 
Offer good June 16-30. Lumira digital photographic prints only.

 
Fast talk at end of commercial: Due to the incredible popularity of our specials, the turn around time for your order may be a little longer than our normal time frame. Rush orders and orders with deadlines are not eligible for our specials. Please call if you have any questions.

Women + Art: A Juggling Act

Kate Dardine
Kate Dardine
Adopt the motto, "no excuses!"


Last fall I successfully juried into a 40 year old artist's organization called Women Artist's of the West. And then this spring I was juried into the WAOW all-member show with my painting, "Vision Quest." These two accomplishments have done a lot to "prove" to myself that I have finally reached a point in my artistic journey where my work is considered to be on a par with artists I have admired for many years. It's been a long time coming...

Although I graduated from college with a degree in Illustration (many years ago!), life - and the choices I made - have kept me from pursuing art full-time. The path I chose took me on a meandering course, and I already was married with two children before I decided to finish college and get my degree. So although art was my passion, I had to fit it in around the needs of my family. When we left Connecticut 22 years ago for the plains of Colorado, I had to find a part time job to help make ends meet. Luckily, I found a job which utilized my art skills as a "spotter" at Fine Print Imaging. Twenty-one years later, I am still at Fine Print - although now I am in the Marketing Department and working 32 hours a week.

What does it mean to juggle a full-time job, family responsibilities AND try to build an art career?
