Market Day Thanks!

My first Market Day was a big success! Thanks so much to everyone who came out to shop. It was great to see everyone, and it was fun to talk to the other crafters and artists.

Here's a shot of my setup at Market Day. Next to me were Sarah and Leslie of Urban Posture. You should check them out, they have cool stuff!

What Prints should I make?

Hi everyone! I've got a request for you all!

I know that there are a decent amount of people who drop in on  this blog from time to time (Hi Mom, Hi Grandma!) and plenty of people who have been interested in prints of my work (Hi Sarah!) And so, I am making plans to offer prints of some of my paintings.  I'm looking at producing quality Giclee prints of 3-7 paintings. I'm not going to make prints of the smaller paintings, anything less than 7 inches square. I may make prints of some of  my older work, like things I painted back in high school. Prints will almost inevitably be smaller than the original work, but they will be much more inexpensive.

So, my lovely blog viewers, if you get some time and you are so inclined, take a look at this blog/my Etsy and let me know which paintings you would most like to see as prints. If you know of a painting that I don't have posted here anywhere, go ahead and suggest it- Just don't say something like 'that one painting of the deer- I have a LOT  of those!  You can leave your thoughts as a comment, email me, or let me know on Facebook (I know that at least some of you follow in from there :)  )

Just for you, here are 2 more paintings, both of which debuted at the Artwalk. The daisy is 8" X 8", the landscape is 12" X 24".

Hi Everyone!

So I was at the art store the other day and started looking at the canvas options, and I decided to try picking up some smaller than usual canvases. These are all much less thick than the ones I usually paint- about 3/4 inch deep. They could stand on their own, as the sides are wrapped, or they could be framed... you know, if  you've got a very tiny frame around or something. 

Anyway, I'll be posting these to Etsy in a little while here if anyone is interested.

Oh, update on my own flowers- I've been over- watering them for the past few days to try getting some of the fertilizer out of the soil. I think they're doing better- I might lose one nemesia plant, but that's small compared to losing all of them. I'm happy they're doing better.

Got some more paintings done yesterday, I really like these two, especially the orchid. They will both be up on Etsy later tonight.

In other flower news, I'm sad to say that the flower boxes on my deck have taken quite a hit. Between strong storms, blazing heat, and the fact that I may have over fertilized them, they're looking really tough these days. I really hope that they can make it, it's still so early in the summer, I'd hate to lose them all now. We'll see what happens.

I Finally Made It To Etsy!!!

I finally got some time today and went for it!

Not everything is up there yet, I'll be uploading  more over the coming days. But here's the start of things! Please, people who actually know Etsy, give me feedback, I'm very new to this and would like advice!
