New Camera And Reawakened Interest In Painting

There is a store locally that is selling strictly hand crafted items by local artists. I've been asked to sell my wares there. It works much like a show, we pay $35 a month plus 10% of sales and the store owner does all the work. I really don't have much to sell yet so I've started working on painting things to sell.

Now that I have a camera I can take pictures of my work and share them on the blog. Which makes my artwork more fun.

On the last post I shared a piece that I had done some time ago and after looking at it, I decided it needed something so, I got out the paints and this is what I came up with.


I definitely like it better. I added 2 roses and did a transparent green effect around the entire arrangement which made the white edges of the flowers pop out and become more visible against the background color.

Yesterday I did this one.


 I'm looking forward to creating many more and with my new camera, now I can share them.

      I don't think the store has enough traffic yet, maybe my pieces will bring them in? LOL

    That is really nice; you are talented. Did you ever consider selling on eBay?
    good luck

      I have never considered selling online at all. I got burned doing retail sales through a gift shop in Old Forge, NY. Haven't been interested in selling since. I stopped in this store and suddenly the desire to paint and sell again was there.

      I have more control of it this way so I should be safe.
