What does all that mean? Life, if you look for the miracles that exist in life. Guess what, you see them. Creating ART to me is a miracle. Where do I get the energy, time and inspiration to take this, that, and the other and make something of beauty, that gives me joy! That is a miracle! Desert Surprise! I live in the desert. We have highways that go on and on, flat, with mountains so far, far away you can barely see them. When the highway runs close to a group of mountains it is a wonderful surprise! How does all this relate to art and Business? You can be running flat...same old, same old, and then out of the blue! Surprise!!! All of your hard work comes to fruition. Hang in there! Your time is coming! This image below is called "Desert Surprise" it was created in the Oil Pastel Smudge technique I invented. I recently checked my Oil Pastel Smudge FaceBook page and see I have 2.4K followers. To you it might not be a lot, to me it is amazing! It has been a long time coming. I post on the page every so often and WOW! I'm reaching that many people. Technology is wonderful! Embrace it! Don't ever give up on your Dreams!

These are a few of the images I came up with to market a Calligraphy Class taking place on November 2nd. I ran with the Halloween theme since the timing was so close to Halloween. I posted them on several of my social media pages. You have to think ahead! Give it a try! Make your campaign fun, for you and everyone! Happy Halloween! Stay Safe!     So what I have been doing with my time is developing a new line of imagery, one of those that has been on the back burner for a long time. I have always enjoyed working with mandalas, sacred geometry and color. Drawing by had relaxes me. I can take my supplies into any room in the house and work on a clip board. Then I transfer it to the computer and make the magic happen. I am hoping you find your relaxation and release during these challenging times, plus create something new! Stay Safe, Stay Home, Stay Creative!  I will be sharing my new line of images soon! The body of work is happening, and I am pleased with how things are developing. Stay positive! Stay tuned! CREATE!
I recently have been playing! In the process researching too on how to sell an alphabet and found this site: CreativeMarket.com. They focus on selling your work to business'. Take a look at what they do. It might be a good fit for you! Good Luck!  I enjoy TEACHING, getting paid for what I LOVE to share. TEACHING is the "Service" side of my business! Michaels Crafts put out a notice to offer classes in my community, I jumped in on the opportunity. My suggestion...TEACH everywhere you can! Get out there and show everyone what you love & can do! It's both fun and rewarding!  Creating these cute colorful Owls and teaching how to do so, has really paid off well. I have linked to the Michael's site "Community Classroom" for you to find out more information on possibly teaching yourself and to register for class . Many thanks to Michaels Craft Store!  |
