“Blue Ridge Parkway Tunnel” is a 4 inch round oil painting on copper, painted on location from life last year on a section of the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville, NC. Copper is a unique and very special substrate, because you can paint directly on it with oil paint and it is perfectly archival. The copper adds luminosity to the paint, and where tiny bits of it are exposed here and there, it glints and shifts in the light when the painting is viewed. It’s truly a magical effect! The painting is varnished to protect the paint and preserve the shine of the copper.
The painting is signed and dated on the back and archivally mounted and float matted in an 8×8 inch wood frame. There is no glass, because oil paintings are known to naturally off-gas and will cloud any glass placed over them over time. The piece is ready to hang, or sit on shelf or table.

Raised without faith and long fascinated by why humans need it, Rob Rey found his answer in science. And in painting it. Stardust, cellular biology, electromagnetic energy: the universe as spiritual practice. Carl Sagan would approve.
Scratching beyond the surface, Akada uses a self-made technique to create truly unique images.
EDO opened up the studio for the first time! Artists Mark Sarmel, Dianita, and So MK joined founder Marc Scheff to talk through their process, their decisions, and what it actually takes to make art every day.
In 2014, I had been going to art conventions for years, and I noticed a consistent puzzle. Artists were all talking about the struggle to sell, and everyone else was talking about the struggle to buy. Artists wanted to sell more work and experiment more outside their comfort zone. And the people buying wanted to buy more than they did. But the artists had to be consistent at these shows, and their art was often (deservedly) out of a starting collector’s price range.
I created Every Day Original to solve this puzzle. And it’s become much more.
At “EDO,” as it was soon called, we created a platform for artists to experiment with small work and for everyone to be able to start their art collection. Over the years, the success of EDO has allowed us to showcase new voices and voices that might otherwise not be “big” enough. Because we feature new work every single day, everyone has an opportunity to start their collection and support this vision.
By joining our mailing list, you join a community of people who believe that art isn’t just a commodity. It’s a passion and way of life that deserves to be seen and celebrated every day.
