Virtual show 2020

It's A Virtual Exhibition!

Here you will find new work presented in large pictures. I have done my best to provide you with an online gallery experience of new work showcased here. Most of the work is for sale. (Some of it has already sold.) So grab yourself a beverage, perhaps a snack - maybe a friend or two - and peruse.

All of this work was created this year. Many of the pieces are the first of their kind. For example, this is the first time I have made what I call Froglets. I expect at some point I will have people helping me make my sculptures. I have had apprentices in the past. But right now, I do all the work myself. (My son, Julian, is learning how to make frog sculptures. Soon he will be contributing to the production of new work. That will be exciting.)

I point this out - that I have made these sculptures all myself - for the benefit of the collector, who is going to care about that and will deem it useful information. Because the work is made entirely by my hand, it is all that much more valuable. Further, it can be gotten for less than what similar sculptures will cost later, as is generally true for works of art. Just as with any investment, getting in early is advantageous.

If you find a sculpture that delights you and it is already sold, you can email me and ask me to make another one like that one. It won't be the exact same, of course. But you can tell me what you like about that sculpture, and I think I can come up with something that you will be pleased with.

Copyright protected: If you post them elsewhere, please include a link to my website. If you want to use them in artwork or for any application, please ask permission. (Hint, I pretty much always give permission; I just want to hear from you.) All the work is copyrighted, Beau Smith 2020.

How to View the Work

I provide large pictures. You can scroll down the page and look over the work. But, if you want to get a closer look, which I always do on any artist's site, you have this option:

I provide a link to a page with more pictures in large format. Under each section where I present a sculpture, the link is there. It says, "Click here for a closer look at...". These pages include zip files which contain larger format pictures.

When you click on the link to view the art, you will find underneath them that there is a file you can download. These pages include zip files which contain larger format pictures which you can view at your leisure and easily enlarge in your viewer.

As you peruse the pictures, when you see something you like, you have the option of downloading the zip file which contains large format pictures you can easily view on your computer. Simply download the file. (This site is secured with SiteLock and has an SSL certificate. These files are from my own computer, which is clean and has Webroot Antivirus Protection.). Open the file. Choose the pictures you want to see. In your picture viewer, to magnify the image, simply press CTRL, and scroll with your mouse.

Note: These image files are safe to download. For your satisfaction, you can also always scan them with your virus protection after downloading. If you have any difficulty scanning these files, or want technical help of any kind with downloading and viewing these files, simply contact me, and we will figure it out together. This website is secure through SiteLock. Also, I have scanned all files with Webroot prior to putting them up on the website.

How To Buy

Go to the page where you can get a closer view of the work.

Under each picture or set of pictures of a sculpture, there will be a link that says "Click here for a closer look...". On that page, under each picture or set of pictures of a sculpture will be the price and a PayPal button, which will lead you to PayPal's secure site where you can pay with a credit card or with PayPal.

Another way to buy is to go to the Frog 'N Froglet Shop, and from there, go to the section that has the type of Frog (or Froglet) you want. There will be a link to go to the product page, which is also the "Closer Look" page. Click on the link and click on the sculpture you want.

If someone else has already bought the sculpture, you will be unable to buy it, and PayPal will tell you this. I regularly update this information. But if a lot of people see the work at one time, it can easily happen that someone else buys what you want before you do, and there would be no SOLD sign because I had not gotten a chance to update the information. Nevertheless, you will not be able to buy a sculpture that has already been sold.

For your convenience, I also provide a PRICE LIST of these new sculptures. You can download this list here:

Froglets

At the beginning of Covid, I started making very small frog sculptures, which I call Froglets. These are the first of their kind and I have made them in this year of 2020.
