Get quiet and the peace comes. Words don't do it sometimes, not the way the color can. Take the specific color of blue that adorns so many shuttered windows of southern France. Blue shutters smothered in sunshine and a crush of roses.....when I close my eyes, I am there....:)))
Lots of things to keep you up on....like.... I am pleased to announce that I am part of a new daily painting group called Daily Painter Originals. You can visit the new site here.
And
"Artists Helping Artists" blog radio show topic (that I am co-hosting with Leslie Saeta) for this Thursday is Top 10 Tips for Online Marketing That Every Artist Should Know--which leads me to...
I will be doing the broadcast on my lunch break during the first day of my 3 Day Oil Painting Workshop in Lexington, KY...:)) Never a dull moment I tell ya!
And for all you artists who are thinking about launching into marketing your art, my book, The Artist's Toolbox will be out in a few days. It is a simple, straight line book , geared for those of you wanting to get started. I have worked to keep the information narrowed down to what I feel is the most important and have deliberately not tried to cover everything--I didn't want it to be overwhelming. I have written it like I would to a friend (which you are) telling you what I have done and what I feel is most important. I want it to be a great service to those just getting started on this part of their artistic dream. And just because I like you so much....I will be holding a drawing (from those who comment on my blog) to give away the first copy. The contest starts today and ends when I get the first copy in my hands with which to mail out to you....This is gonna be so fun!!
And just remember--as my way of saying thanks to those who purchase my daily paintings--a gift with each painting (read on...)
And let me know, by way of words and/or photos--where's your Dreama original in your home? I have already had some nice responses that I will be sharing in upcoming posts and my newsletter and would love to hear from you..:)!
