on a roll!

I have been inspired to paint as much as possible this week after my 2 sales! I sell a lot of sewn treasures on my sight, but truly I love to paint and draw the most. Selling those 2 paintings rely gave me a kick to jump into what I truly enjoy.

I noticed I don’t have a style! I mean they all have a similar look because the drawn parts are the same hand, buuuuut I’ve got way too many ways I paint. (I get bored fast) I will do a series of like 2 or 3 ways to paint and then switch. My favorite is to draw on the painting first or last with a permanent marker then paint around it (or start with a solid color background) I love to draw and that way I get to do both!

Trying to draw cats without a picture is harder than trying to draw my 3 year old! At least Asher will hold still if I tell him to!!! I had to get out my camera and take pictures but even that was almost impossible to get them to do what I wanted! they would try and play instead.

OK
It took me way too long to sign on, so let me just say 'AAAAAAAAAAAA'
I’m better now;)

SO! I sold 2 paintings in the past 2 days! A personal first, and hopefully not a one time thing.

Inspired I got out my paints and canvases and unfinished paintings and set up Ash and me a painting center in our kitchen! It was a fun morning, even if paint tended to shoot across the table ever so often from Asher’s side of the table.

I painted the 2 paintings shown a couple years ago to decorate our master bedroom, but after many comments (I tend to put pictures up before they are finished, what can i say I like to see them up!) about the resemblance of the orchid flower painting and feminine parts, i decided to sell them on my etsy shop. Yeah for somebody;) I do think they are beautiful, but don’t like the conversation starter they cause.(I embarrass easily)
any thoughts?
