Ballet Shoes and Burnout

So after my bout of artist block, I immediately jumped into Christmas commissions... portraits and artwork that I had to keep secret until after Christmas so I couldn't share them here. I quickly burnt out on detailed pieces, and after Christmas, it took me awhile to get back into the swing of my regular schedule. I've been painting again, but I haven't really picked back up on portrait commissions just yet. The burnout is real, yall. I'm slowly coming back around.

Today I went to Southern Turnings to drop off new artwork to sell there, and pick up some pieces that haven't sold. I'm going to be listing them on Etsy as I can, and the first piece is listed here.

Pointe Shoes

While I was there I got a Who Dat latte and it was delicious. Try this out... Bourbon Caramel, Salted Caramel, & Dark Chocolate. It was dreary and rainy here today so it was a great day for a latte.

Petite Peacock Painting

I picked up this proud little peacock from the coffee shop yesterday to list in my Etsy shop. I like to offer these 4x4 minis as an affordable alternative to larger pieces. Plus they're just fun to do.You can find this one here .

Ice Cream and Oysters

No, I'm not pregnant. They're just my most recent listings on Etsy. The ice cream cone I picked up from the coffee shop on Monday, but the oyster is new. I think it would look good in a set, so I've been kicking around some ideas of sets of 3 in 4x4 or 6x6 groupings. Any ideas of good themes for groupings of 2 or 3? I'm feeling a coastal vibe lately, so maybe I'll go with that. I also agreed to do a market today! It doesn't start until March 9th, but I'm already getting excited about it. I don't do many shows or markets. In the past, they just haven't been very beneficial for business. But this... this is at the local mom & pop store about 3 minutes away from my house. I can't resist something that will bring exposure as well as benefit my community. So on Saturday, March 9th (and every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the months following), I'll be hanging out at McDaniel's General Merchandise for McHenry Market! I'm looking forward to

Green Apple

This was the result of day 49 of my daily painting challenge. I really like the texture on the canvas. It helped give a pleasantly unexpected result. It's listed on Etsy here .
