I like Liquin......

There I said it. I use Liquin for many of my little oil paintings.  I love, Gamblin oils, & and also use Gamsol, Gamblin Refined linseed oil, but I just love how easy Liquin is to use.  I pour a bit out of the bottle and there's no mixing, it's easy to find at art supply stores and it does the job for me.  Many of you have asked me about some of my solvents and painting mediums,...so there's one of my favs.

Holiday shipping....

I was at the post office today shipping out a painting and the line wasn't bad at all...at least where I live.  Could be we're not at crunch time yet.  Always ask if you need something sent faster than my usual first class postage.  Especially this time of year.

Where has the year gone???

We were talking this week and it will only be a few weeks before we head to Florida for the winter!  What!!!???  Where has the time gone???  Though I am down to the last of my beach paintings from earlier this year.  Can't wait to do more.

Missing the warm beach...

Cold front just came thru there and I'm COLD!!! Ok, I should quit complaining, I hear there's snow up north. I'm just missing the beach.

I had an interview at one of the arts organizations here locally and I would really love to get the job. Those jobs are pretty competitive though. Feel free to send some prayers and good luck my way!!!

Paying attention to business...

Well, I got a good lesson yesterday from a friend of mine regarding my business records. I guess my "animal, vegetable, mineral" system isn't really the best way to run things. At least I keep all of my receipts in one shoebox! LOL! Ok, so what am I trying to say? If you need help with something, it's best to just ask and get it! I had no idea what kind of records I needed to keep and I've probably been losing tax money over the last several years. Needless to say, I'll be doing things a bit different now. Ironically, none of it's that hard, I just had no idea where to start.

It's Saturday!!!!

What beautiful weather we've had here. I've started my figure drawing class so I've been doing more drawing than painting this week. I need to get back in practice. I'll post some later.

Larger painting for ebay...

I'm listing this week and next week a couple of larger paintings for ebay. Mostly as an experiment to see if it will be worth my time to right now. These are 8 x 10 inches on stretched canvas and I'm starting them at $49 each. My gallery works which are larger and take much longer to complete, can be very expensive. I love doing this smaller line for ebay starting at $0.99 and I think they've done so well! (Thank you to all my patrons!!!) If these do ok, I'll offer these more detailed works on stretched canvas in addition to my regular small works. Let me know what you think, good or bad. (In the nicest way possible!! LOL!)
