💚 THANK YOU MOM! 💚

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


THANK YOU MOM!  You are always with us no matter the distance.  You've shielded us from so many obstacles.  And you taught us what real love is.  Mother's Day is a small expression of infinite gratitude for a lifetime of affection.

Let's celebrate the beauty of mom by letting her know she's unique and special.  

Your Friend,

What An Exciting Summer!

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


YAY FOR SUMMER! 
I hope that you're spending sunny days by the water, grilling up delicious meals, and soaking in the rays.  

Summer is a time of appreciation.  A moment to slow down and remember where were last year.  To focus on how fortunate we are.  We are constantly receiving small gifts like a cool breeze on a warm day or sharing a vibrant sunset with someone we love.  What are you thankful for?

Savor the warm, radiant days of summer while they are here.  The inspiration can last a lifetime.

PS - What am I grateful for?  You and your kind support over the years.  Support that has allowed me to surpass selling over 1,000 pieces of art.  A milestone made possible by you.  THANKS!

Lavender In Provence Blank Greeting Card


Lavender In Provence, 2014 
Gouache on Strathmore on 140lb (36 kg) cold press blank card WITH ENVELOPE
NOT A PRINT OR REPRODUCTION
5" x 6 7/8" (12.7 cm x 17.4 cm)
© copyright Mike Kraus 

10% OFF with coupon code JOINTHEFUN

Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence. Everything has a distinct texture, the colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating. And every twisting road we turn down has countless rows of purple and blue lavender. The heat of the Mediterranean sun presses against our backs as we pedal back to the village of Sault. I'll never forget the fields of France.

This contemporary original gouache card is frameable, collectable, enjoyable and can be given for a special gift for a birthday, wedding, new baby, anniversary, thank you or other occasion.  This greeting card is a one-of-a-kind original work of art, NOT A PRINT OR REPRODUCTION. It is signed on the back and lends itself to framing in a standard frame.

Due to each artwork being original, art cards are sold individually.  FREE SHIPPING IN THE UNITED STATES

This painting would look best in a space that is yellow, orange, blue, white, or beige

Don't Trust Anyone Without Facial Hair. No... One...

First thing's first: THE TIGERS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! YEAH!!! I don't knew when or how they got good, but yeah!!!


Here's a billboard near my apartment. There's something to wake you up on your way to work...


The Wicker Park stop near my apartment. It's the new Wrigleyville and that is sad...


MOUSTACHE PARTY @ MURDER HOUSE! It's like getting your face painted at the art fair.


Myself and a moustached Megan!


Moustached Megan and a non-moustached Tennessee.


I stared at this thing all night. Muskegon kids are awesome!


Irresistable. If only you knew the history of that cup, Audrey...


The classy 'stache for the classy lady.


If we had a boxing ring, it would be my honor to fight this man.


Adam, I'm going to give you a choice of MySpace profile pics. You can have this one...


...or this one. My advice is to let the people decide your fate.


There's a lot of people in my kitchen.


This man knows about the TIGERS GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!


Double facial hair? If I liked you before, I love you now...


There's nothing like a bathroom line at a party.


Some girl who lost a cell phone we never found and Mr. Dustin Malmquist. Also, I found a driver's license for a Brian M. Kraus. 1) If you know him, have him contact me about getting it back. 2) Who are you and are we related?


This is why we went through two (2) kegs from 10pm - 1:30am. Good thing the Tip Top is just around the corner...


From the U.P. dar, eh?


There's always a hippie...


If you can't tell, this says "Grenola - I'm sorry." I wish I knew the story behind it.


This is for all of you who gave me cookies, candy, donuts, cash, hard lemonade, cake, dinner, and more for my birthday. You are all too good to me and I love you.

xoxo
GO TIGERS!

Mike
