Time Flies

Phew - July sped by and we're half way through August already! We've moved to a beautiful house overlooking the bay. The sea views are enhanced by an enchanting almost tropical landscaped garden and the unique house which was lovingly designed by the artist owner. All in all there is much to be inspired by which is good news as I have heaps to do in order to scrape together a living from this business of being an artist!

I sold a painting at The Original Art Sale in July which was very encouraging and now I'm experimenting with the best ways to sell my work. Artfind looks like a great option and although I'm not entirely convinced that TradeMe is a good way to go (due to the prolific art and hugely varying prices offered) lots of people seem to think it can be profitable. So, I've put a pair of small paintings on there to see what kind of response they receive.

Although I can often be found updating the format to make it as user friendly as possible, bAd digital art seems to be on hold for now as I concentrate on painting which can potentially bring in the much needed dollars to make this all viable! Other projects are in the pipeline and spring is on it's way, so all is good :)
