Artist's Comments

Monthly birthstone print. I didn't offer the smaller sizes because at 9x12 you get pretty close to the size of the originals, which is nice, and they also look good printed larger.

See the original submissions here: [link]

I didn't paint them in the right order and hadn't planned to do all of them when I started. Most of the months have multiple stones but I tried to pick what was used most commonly or would make a better painting. (For example Diamond and Zircon for Dec would both be clear/white). Yes for Dec there's Blue Topaz, Zircon, Turquoise, and Tanzanite. I picked one.

...Oh dear. I seem to be in the wrong site. Is there someplace incompetent artists are supposed to go?

They're all lovely, but thank you so much for using the opal for October. That's my birth month, and I get so tired of pink sapphires being the common birthstone used for it. Pink's not my best color, so I always love it when somebody remembers that opals are also used for October. I love opals the best of all the precious and semi-precious gemstones.

Very beautifully done as always.

Oh no, those are much prettier than pink. Mine is December but I've never really liked Blue Topaz anyway.
