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!

Afternoon Tea

This piece is perfect for the weather here today. It's been rainy and cloudy here (again... it's becoming a trend), and it would be a great day for hot tea and a good book. It's now listed on Etsy here .

Avocados and Insects

It's been a lazy day. Not that I'm complaining. I did manage to list a bumblebee painting on Etsy though... And here's the avocado painting I listed on Etsy yesterday... They're both going to the McHenry Market at McDaniel's General Merchandise in McHenry on March 9th. I don't usually do markets and craft shows, but this one is right in the middle of my (tiny) community and I'm looking forward to checking it out. It's a farmer's market with homemade items as well. And it's from 12-4 on a Saturday so I don't even have to wake up early. Sweet!
