Art Collectors Find Duane Cash and Phet Cash Paintings a Great Christmas Gift Idea as Holiday Season Nears - LDS Art Available

    /24-7PressRelease.com/ -- Albuquerque, NM - October 10, 2004 -- The Land of Enchantment has become of the "Land of Holiday Art Sales" for full-time American artists, Duane and Phet Cash, from their small studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The creative couple sells their own oil and acrylic paintings through their online eBay store presence and market their works of fine art through their website at http://www.cashartstudio.com.

Hits to the website has climbed to nearly 300,000 visitors since they opened their website in January 2004, and they have sold nearly 1000 original paintings to art collectors since they began selling their art through online auctions in the last quarter of 2003. "Through the grace of God," says Duane Cash, "we have received many great blessings from those who have purchased our art through online auctions. We know that through constant prayer and exceeding faith, we have been able to create fine art that reaches out and inspires our customers, even in these great and perilous days of wars and economic shifts."

The couple has attributed most of their success to God, and have recently been baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in May 22, 2004, as a couple in the Tijeras Ward in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The couples expresses a deep love for the art they create and also and unbounded love for God, Jesus Christ, the Book of Mormon, and the guidance of modern-day prophets, Joseph Smith through Gordon B. Hinckley.

"Our Heavenly Father loves us all as his children in his own special way," says Duane Cash. "We know that Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of our sins, has taught us all the way we should choose to live with love, and that Joseph Smith was surely a prophet of God when he was given the Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ. We find this to be the foundational cornerstone of our artist expression and inspiration. In our paintings, people have testified that they have found happiness, warmth, and a light of inspiration."

Popular among the couples works are the "glowing tree" paintings of Duane Cash and the abstract knife figure painting of Phet Cash. Of Duane Cash's trees, collectors have stated that they "are happy trees" and that they "seem to glow from within." And of Phet's abstract figures, customers have conveyed that "they joyous works" and that the paintings "have a beautiful flow of bright color."

With Christmas and the holiday season just around the corner, it is expected that paintings from Duane Cash and Phet Cash will have a great impact for those seeking to decorate their walls or purchase them as home brightening works for loved ones.

Duane and Phet Cash have one 3-year-old son, Brandon, who makes them realize the importance of family and the strengthening of youth in these modern times. "There's a great deal of disturbing materials that have proliferated throughout the media - both on television and on the internet. We find that we are blessed to be able to spend more time at home raising our son in right living. We strive to find good patterns of choosing the right in all we do, and we try to teach our son to do these things that will make him a better contributor to the world as he grows and learns more. Parenthood is one of the greatest gifts that God has given to the families of the earth. It is all our responsibility to give what is right for our youth."

Duane Cash is also the inventor and builder of the Duane Cash Cube Collection, a popular assortment of six puzzles that are now sold through the Rubik's website at http://www.rubiks.com under the "collectibles" section.
