Sunset and Artist's Block

I've been absent. I haven't wanted to be, but I've been struggling with a bout of artist's block that's left me down and frustrated. In an effort to try to break through this block, I decided to try something new that would hopefully get me excited and get me back to work. After checking out a few options, I settled on oil and cold wax. Cold wax is really just a medium that you mix with the oil paints to get different effects such as texture and it also helps with blending and drying time. I tried it yesterday for the first time, and after wiping my panel off once, I had something that I was somewhat pleased with. As usual, I uploaded a photo of it to Instagram and then my business page on Facebook. Once it was shared on my business page, it sold within moments. I think this just might be the kick in the pants I needed to get back to work!

McHenry Market March 9th

I don't usually do craft shows, fairs, etc., but I'm stepping outside of my comfort zone and taking part in a local market coming up in March. There will be fresh produce as well as handmade items such as soaps and candy. I'm actually looking forward to it! This will be the first one and it's about 4 minutes from my house. Of course, there's tons of work that needs to be done before then. I need to get a new canopy first. I'm hoping to do that towards the end of this month. I'm still researching which one would be best for shows in case I decide to do more in the near future. I need to order new business cards and figure out my display. I've started with inventory, and these are a few of the pieces that will be heading to market... Dirt Road South Paintings Some of these are currently listed on Etsy , and some of them (plus others) will likely be listed in the near future. I haven't listed anything new this week because I've been workin...
