Hey y'all!
Wow, It's been awhile since I've updated you guys on whats happening in my life (August was your last update. And that was like...8 months ago)....ahahaha...wow time flies....
Honestly, everything is okay here. Seriously. Mom's treatments have finished, and the crazy hubbub of doctors appointments have dwindled down to whenever mom feels up to a blood test. Mom's white and red cell count still remains below normal, probably due to stress, so who knows when those numbers will improve. Otherwise, life is pretty good. <3
My pun skills have gotten better...or worse. Depending on my mood. I tend to spout more puns, the more tired I am. xD
ANYWAY! A brighter side to my 2018 year, I finally decided to try a new experiment back in March (because Artists are mini scientists). A very nice couple from my church have been wanting to sell my artwork in their gallery for a number of years (at least 3), but I wasn't really ready to do the kind of artwork they were asking for. Amish Paradise? No thank you.
After a lot of inner debate, weighing pros/cons etc... I worked on a couple "country" watercolor paintings and took them to their gallery, and they ecstatically accepted them into their gallery. They were also so gracious to give me feedback as to what kind of things sell the best in their store. Hopefully I will be able to use that information to my advantage with future works.
So art kids, if you try to get into a gallery to sell your artwork, pay attention to what the store owner says that sells. :3
So far now, I only have 4 postcard designs in their store. I need to get some larger prints made, but I keep getting preoccupied with other projects (like commissions, work, etc). Ugh, I really do need to make a better effort to get those prints made...
I can cross that off my bucket-list: Get into a gallery. Done. Hahahahah, and my art school was wrong! I didn't have to write an artist statement at alllll. (or not yet at least...)
But yeah, thats my good news for the year. Wow 2018 is so much better than 2017 so far. :3
I think I've updated all the important points of whats going on...otherwise I'm alive, kicking, and arting. Just not at the same time.
Anywho! I hope all of you are well, and are embracing whatever life brings your way~ Till next time guys and gals!

Name Change
Hey everyone! I've been thinking for a while that I need to update my DA name to my widely used username, DelightInArt. Probably doesn't mean much to you guys, but it's one less thing on my to-do list to address. ;D Plus my username from high school was kinda cringe, ngl. Hope y'all been well, and prosperous! Stay cool, deviants! ~DelightInArt
A Heads Up
I've been dithering about it for a while, but I decided today that I'm deleting my youtube channel. So if you find a link to a youtube video on one of my picture descriptions and it doesn't work...you know why. My reason for deleting it had more to do with people I didn't want to see my channel *coughRELATIVEScough*, and realizing I didn't have enough subscribers to remove them. I have enough stressors on my life, and want to break away...quietly. So, I'm starting over. Maybe if I feel comfortable to share my new channel, I will. But for now... I just want my space. :)
The hiatus continues, but with quirky news~
Hey all!
I'm sorry for being so inactive on DA. For some reason the last couple years I prefer posting WIPs on Instagram, and more recent digital works on Redbubble. I'll get at least some of the new ones up on DA too so everyone can enjoy them. <3 Haha, famous last words. >___<
So far I'm doing well, just busy as usual. Dealing with some extended family upheaval, and it doesn't bode well for long term. That has partially drained me energy and inspiration wise, but its gradually getting better. I'm better at accepting that this is the new normal, and still working on moving on. Conflict shows where the weaknesses are, and how to ge
Still Bored? Here's more Speed Paints!
Hey guys and gals!
So I've finally taken the time to upload some speed paints of recent drawings on youtube. So if you're needing some time to relax and just watch someone doodle, these links are for you:

I'm also open for critique on how to make my speed paint videos better. :) Hope everyone is doing well, and staying well~
