Well, I have been working on posting my artwork on Esty and I think it is going to work out.  I have had quite a few looks at my art, which is good.  Tomorrow I am adding a volcano painting.  The little blue abstract is still drying, but should be ready by the end of the week.  I am trying to work on the replication of the class painting (green plant with pink center).  This morning I stepped out and saw that my garden had yielded beautiful blue crocuses.  I am planning on painting them.

It has been raining a lot and I have not been feeling very creative these past couple of days, but I am sure tomorrow will be a better day. This is one of my first paintings, a troubled sky like today. I have found it is hard to say good bye to some of my paintings.  It is almost like posting close friends for sale.

Simple Blue Abstract

Today it was rainy and cold and I think it influenced my painting a bit.  I do like this abstract, it is calming and cool like today.  I was thinking of making a series of simple abstracts like this one in different colors.  One of the hardest things is trying to make the photo capture the painting best.  As in this photo, the painting is 100 times better in person.

The Start of something Great!

I have started this blog so fans out there will be able to see all the new paintings in the works before they go on sale in Etsy.  I love painting so much, and I am so happy that my husband and family are so supportive of my hobby.  Why have I decided to start selling my paintings? Well, honestly, they are starting to pile-up in the laundry room and if I make some room I can add new ones :) In addition, knowing that my paintings are being enjoyed by others makes me want to paint more.  I am planning on painting as much as I can.  A hour or two a day is my goal.  Starting tomorrow with a replication of the painting of Bromiliades completed in painting class last week.  It was a huge hit at the class, hopefully it will sell well. Fingers crossed!
