What a day! After my pilates class this morning, I headed straight for Parkville - and have been painting there ever since! I couldn't get my panels stamped until 10:00, so I couldn't start as early as I would have otherwise. I knocked out three paintings today - one in midday sun, another done at sunset - and the final was a nocturne which I couldn't start until it was completely dark since I had no idea of where the good lighting would be. It was a gorgeous day to be out painting - in the 70's, and warm even at night. I can work like a machine when I need to - and this event is over in two days - which means I need to! It was my intention to post one of those tonight, but alas - I didn't get images and have actually left them in the trunk for the night. I am too tired to fight the giant puppy to get them in safely! He is very nosy and would likely lick paint right off the surface of them - which he has done before! So, I am posting this poppy painting that I did a couple of days ago. It is kind of crazy with it's dreamlike brushwork and the way the batik process worked (which is always a surprise because it is so unpredictable). At first, I didn't like it at all - but it is now growing on me. Well, this crazy painting is 655 in as many days and now I am ready to fall into bed :)
Hello, Tammie, nice to see you agin in my blog!

I note also, that you sell your works in dailypaintworks, as I know it is not free,
do you gain more than pay? how it works?
have a nice day,
Natalie
Thanks, Natalie! Yes - I have been on Daily Paintworks since August, and it is $12.99 a month. It is just a tiny fee compared with the sales, so for me it is worth it. It is also nice to have a spot that I can direct people to go pay for the artwork - and I don't have to physically take care of the transaction. I also like seeing the stats and traffic associated with each painting that the site provides - it helps me see what the public is looking at most. Very informative :)
DeleteGlad to know, that you've found such a good service, and that your painting put color and happines in the life of your customers, I hope to do as you one day...
