SOLD!

Yes, it is true. I sold a painting yesterday! I love to sell paintings - not for the money, but for the validation. Everytime I sell a piece, I feel a little less silly for buying wax. paint, and boards. My show at the art center will be up one more week, so I will cross my fingers that I will sell a bit more.

Also on the art front, I have a piece in our local Oil, Pastel, and Acrylic Group show, Inside Out. Thankfully that group includes mixed media and encaustics. The show is fabulous, so I am honored to be there. The winning painting is a wonder in technique and concept.

On Monday I will teach two students who want to learn encaustics. I love to share, so I am looking forward to my time with them.

Meanwhile, I am so bogged down in art center related projects, I am having to delay starting a new painting.

Happy

I am happy to say that I sold this little painting today. The buyer is the same one who bought another small painting of mine last week. I am very flattered and pleased. I hope everyone is impressed that I actually photographed the painting before I took it to the art center.

I am also very pleased and excited that our art association is nearing the end of a face lift process. Soon the paint and new signs will go up and on May 2 we will have a celebration for the new look and our change from just an association to an art center. I am very proud.
