I have not forgotten about this site. In fact, i think of it often.
I still paint. Not as often as i should and i’ve had to give up on the idea of sales as well. As it turns out, the problem with sales, at least with the plug in i used to use, is that it would only do a transaction with Paypal. In and of itself, that wasn’t an issue but those funds were chewed up by a recurring donation to Soma.fm which would deplete my funds over time. I would have much preferred to have kept my funds separate so that i could have budgeted better.
But truth be told, i’m just not good at selling myself. I never have been. It’s not a confidence issue- it’s just that i’ve just never been good at using myself as a marketable commodity. And my reality being what it is, even when i do paint, i just never think to put anything here because if i’m not selling my work, even as prints, then why post it at all?
I’ll be working on changing that attitude as well as the frequency of my paintings and my posts.
Autumn will be here soon. There’s always a calmness that seeps into me when summer ends. The problem is winter. Even though my house is well insulated, my hands stay cold for months on end during the winter and spring- and believe me when i say that painting when my hands are cold is a non-starter.
I’ll work on finding a way to warm my hands and keep them warm when i paint. As a person, i HATE being too warm so the challenge is a way to heat my hands while the rest of me stays comfortable.
More to come, i promise.
