New Painting

So I've been working on a new painting and taking pictures as I go to track my progress. The first photo shows a very roughed in picture.  I've placed the window and the tree reflection as well as the broken board and I've just started to suggest the tree shadows on the house.
I like to get a sense of what the whole painting will be like when it's finished. By only roughing the main features in I can easily make changes in placement.

Web Site Management

I’ve been busy doing those behind the scene things that are so important but boring. I’ve updated my keywords and submitted my site to lots of search engines. No much fun but necessary. tomorrow I promise I start a new painting and will post up dates as it progresses.

Starting Over

I feel like I’m starting over again as an artist; reinventing myself. After I graduated from art school I had a 5 year plan to be a self-supporting artist. I was halfway there when life happened. I got married, had a baby, got divorced. Pretty much that quickly.
When my daughter was little I had a few shows because she took naps. However after she started in school I found out she had a learning disability. I spent a lot of time transporting her to and from school and attending countless parent teacher meeting, plus a lot of homework help.
Now she’s finally out of school and it’s time for ME! Unfortunately earning a living keeps getting in the way. So here I am plunging into the world of Blogging and Facebook and online galleries when other people are planning their retirement.
I was never much of a diary keeper but I promise to keep you apprised of my journey towards being a self-supporting artist.

First steps

I’m working on getting my work out there. This the first step in  what will be a multimedia campaign. I’ve got some work at the Dogfish Cafe in Portland and will have a show at the Frost Farm Gallery in Norway in June. there’s  a lot of work to do so goodbye for now.
