What I've Been Up To Lately

I know it's been a few days since I've posted...keeping up with this new found adventure (and blog) really takes time! The creating side has been a little slower this past month and my goal is to return back to creating art. On the more business side...I finally made things official and applied for a vendor license. All due to the fact that I've applied for my first juried Art Show! Waiting to hear by the first part of March if I'm accepted. This too is a goal of mine, entering shows & selling art. I'm taking it slow this first year and will start small...getting my feet wet and seeing how things go! If you have any suggestions for me...comment below! I can definitely use the advise!

I'm continuing my Dreamscapes for the Dream Center of Ohio and have added more pieces to my etsy shop. See the previous post and check out my etsy shop at lcloriginalart.etsy.com for more details. Here is a sample of a Dreamscape matted and framed. Just the perfect piece to add a splach of color to any area.

I've also joined a 100 Artworks Challenge...will you join me? Check out Kelle Wynne Conrad at www.artistwriterdreamer.com/ to join the challenge or just follow along. The challenge officially begins mid-March so you have plenty of time to get prepared! In January, I completed a 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. This was just the push I needed to get started. This new challenge is just what I need to keep going...there is NO deadline! So don't worry!! She also encourages you to work small and concentrate on possibly a 'theme'. I'm not sure what direction I'm going yet. I do know I'll continue with the Alcohol Inks...but haven't decided on any other particulars yet! Suggestions?? I tend to draw my inspiration from photos I've taken or photos from Paint My Photo website. I love things of nature: trees, animals, insects, and landscapes to name a few. Follow along in March to see what I'm painting!
