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.

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!

Lemon Wedged

This was day 42 of my 90 day painting challenge, listed here on Etsy. I like the texture I was able to achieve on the lemon half and wedges. These paintings aren't posted in any particular order other than the way they were listed on Etsy. With future 90 day painting challenges, I plan to post them all in order here.

Gold Mandala on Red

A little something different... I like to do pieces like this from time to time when I need to relax and realign. It's a gold mandala pattern on a red background, on a 12x12 acrylic canvas. Rather than list my larger canvases on Etsy, I usually take them to a local coffee shop/gallery for purchase there in order to keep my shipping costs down for my Etsy customers. But this piece is still available for purchase.
