Inspiration drought

 I have been going through a pretty major drought...
it's one of inspiration and creativity..
here are the last paintings I managed to do during this drought
and now I'm not sure what else to do.

I've thought about just grabbing some paint and brushes
and slapping some paint on canvas to see where it takes me...but
we'll see if I'm brave enough to do that.

For one thing...I've pretty much run out of storage room...so I'm
not sure where I'd put any new paintings anyway.

I may need to 'paint' in PhotoShop instead...that will depend on how much space
I have to store what I come up with.

New Stuff at Society6

These are examples of my
Wizard of Oz
tee shirts
now online at Society6
The garments are American Apparel in a wide variety of colors.

I have just started adding the shirts and I don't have
many online yet...but I'm trying to add a few more
each week.
A little different from what I am offering on Zazzle.

I hope you like them.

It's been a while




It's been a while since I've written anything on my blog...
I've been taking some time away from art in order to
rejuvenate myself.
Here are a few 6" x 6" Fairytale paintings that I
managed to paint since last I posted.

New pieces at Society 6

 
I've got a number of new pieces in my Society 6 Shop.
Of course the pieces I've added there are available elsewhere
but not in the pillow and tote offerings.

January is first creation of 2014

I have completed and listed my first creation of 2014...a digital painting I have titled...'January'.
One of my 'Steampunk Goth Girl' regulars is out in the snow during the month of January...
complete with a little redbird to add that little dash of color to brighten this otherwise grey offering.
 
It is one of the few digital pieces that I've done using the landscape format...
in the hopes of doing a series dedicated to each month...which will become the art for a 2015 calendar.

Society 6



I recently "set up shop" on Society 6.
I am gradually adding my pieces...and loving the black pillows and totes that I've only
found available here.

It's a bit different than Zazzle...there isn't quite as much merchandise
available here...and everything that is available needs pictures in different sizes...so it's a bit
more time consuming...as well as more images to store on my computer.

I am planning on adding one image a day throughout the month of January...so I will have a bit more end there by the end of the month.

Good-bye 2013


While I won't be sorry to see 2013 go...I learned a great deal this past year...
I have always 'failed to plan'...and there are those that say...
'fail to plan' and you 'plan to fail'....
there actually is some credence to this little saying....
so I've taken some steps to make 2014 a better year for me...
at the very least, I should know more about what's going on and why.
Here are a couple of the more 'notable' things that happened in my 2013...
1.  My 'Gothic Beauty' interview
2.  Started my series of  'Notorious' characters
3.  I learned "the hard way" to stay on top of my Etsy Shop....hoping that will be improved in 2014.

A couple of things I have planned for 2014...
1. Another two panel 'Alice in Wonderland' themed painting.
2. My first two panel 'Wizard of Oz' themed painting.
3. Some new 'Notorious characters'
4. Keeping my Etsy Shop 'relevant' to Etsy search....and new pieces coming shortly after the New Year.

I will do a better job of blogging and posting on FB as well!!
