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. :P (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. :P

Anywho! I hope all of you are well, and are embracing whatever life brings your way~ Till next time guys and gals!

I'm happy to hear/read that things are going well for you :3 and I'm glad to hear that your mother is doing well! 

...I'm not opposed to being called a gambler...artists try new products with no way to guarantee the value or success of it we put a lot of money into what we like.... ;)
