Signing


Hi Y'all,
Well I promised to get back to work. Greg's last signing event in Ogden, Utah brought out even the younger crowd. This young lady wanted her pink shoe signed. Greg was still working on his new piece featuring a grandfather passing his trade down to his grandson. Because of the detail work it doesn't look like it has changed much, but it has. An interesting point is that this painting, so far, has been totally done during road shows at various places. Everyone has loved it - the colors, the theme, and the anticipation of having a print.

Greg uses paintings like this to unwind. The inspirational pieces are a daunting task especially when they feature the Savior.

Back in the saddle


Hi y'all,
Boy, you get side tracked for a little bit and pretty soon summer is gone. Hopefully there are still some interested Greg Olsen fans. A lot has happened and I'll try to catch you up. Several of the pieces that we have talked about are now in print and up on the gregolsenart website. It is easier than ever to find Greg's website now because they have so many domain names now that transfer you right to the official website. gregolsen.com now takes you directly to the official website.

Hope On The Horizon was unveiled a month or so ago and is now in print. If I do say so myself, I think that this painting will rival O'Jerusalem - It is awesome!

"Hope On The Horizon" unveiling


Hi Y'all,
Sorry for the long delays. Between traveling and injuries it has been tough to get going again. Great News! Greg's painting about hope and looking to the future will be unveiled at BYU's Education Week (next week) on campus at the BYU Bookstore. The unveiling will be between 12:00p and 1:00p. Greg Olsen Art Publishing will be there with a large display on the 3rd floor. They are taking a lot of discounted and on sale prints, framed and unframed. Greg will be there much of the time signing and personalizing art. This is exciting because it means that the image will soon go to print and be available.

New Prints


Hi Y'all,
Apparently Greg has developed a Face Book page that he addresses daily with pictures, quotes and etc. I'll get more details for you shortly. There are many things in the works right now and I'll start addressing them. Greg Olsen Art Publishing will be coming out with a series of black and white images that will enhance anyones decor. Plus, more on the Christmas "santa/nativity" picture that many of you watched Greg paint. the working title is all we have at the moment "Oh Come Let Us adore him". It should be available the middle of Aug. It is a 16 X 20 matted to a 20 X 24. You'll be able to purchase it framed or as a matted print.

Signing Away


It is harder than I thought keeping this up while on the road, sorry for the inconvenience. I heard some flack about not getting Greg's schedule posted like I said that I would - once again sorry! But, it may have been a good thing because Greg had so many things going on that last week in Utah at the Sam's Club Murray store, that he wasn't able to keep much of his schedule. He said that he would try to do better. I have posted a picture of Greg personalizing some of the art that was available at his last event.

More Detail


Hi Y'all,
This road show is really slow moving so Greg is getting a lot of work done on his painting. It is fun watching the detail emerge. No fantastic stories from this trip as of yet. I think you'll enjoy the dtail starting to appear. As before the image will open up large because the hotel computer doesn't have photoshop.

Hi Y'all,
Here is a photo of Greg working on the "apprentice"?? - that he had worked on in Idaho Falls. The show in Murray at the Sam's club is extremely slow so he is getting more work done on this. Sorry, I haven't been able to size this pic so it is pretty big.
