I feel so bad about Brittany Murphy passing away. It hits home when these actors are the same age as me/you. I just can't even imagine the pain her family is feeling now. Sending sympathy & love their way.

2009 Recap

2009-12-19T17:23:08Z

Well 2009 is almost over...wow, time really does go by so fast. I have been reading some other artists doing a year end review of their art/business & I think it is a great idea not only for you, but also for myself. It gives me perspective on where I want to take my art & business in 2010.

2009 Recap

Total Shows = 6 (FYI: One of my shows is 7 weekends long, but I LOVE IT!)
Paintings/Drawings = 12
New Products = 3
Number of days at shows = 32
Number of Signings = 2
Number of weekends at shows = 15

I created a new website, from scratch on my own. That was a huge undertaking, but I am very happy with the results. I also opened up & created an Ebay & Zazzle Store. Created a Facebook Account & fan page. Succumbed to creating a Twitter account, which I did only a week or two ago. hehe.
I also started making Limited Edition Canvas Prints, ACEO cards & new jewelry. I have found that there are ACEO collectors on Ebay which has been a nice way to get my art out there.

I was also honored & blessed to partake in Larry Elmore's week long painting class in Kentucky. I met a bunch of cool people, laughed my butt off & learned some great painting techniques from master artist Larry Elmore. What more could I ask for?!

PLANS FOR 2010

* MAKE MORE ART!!! I always tell myself I need to paint/draw more & I did do better this year, than last year, but there is always a need to create more.
* Create & Send out flyers to retail businesses to promote my art/products wholesale.
* Create a new jewelry product.
* Consider adding other shows to my list....this all depends on distance. One of the negatives of living in Florida is my only way out of state is north so I do not have as many options within driving distance as I would like.

I am currently working on a portrait series of Urban Faeries called "Faerie Funk". You can see my WIP pictures on my Facebook Page. I should have these 2 paintings completed by the end of this weekend.

I want to thank each & everyone of you who has supported me....for visiting me at shows, sending me emails & for your stream of compliments & encouragement. You keep me going & I couldn't ask for anything more. THANK YOU!!
A huge thank you to all of my fellow artists/friends, both online & in person, for answering my gazillion art/business questions..... Especially fellow artists/friends carritravis & tigerpixieart. I love Carri/e's!!!!

I also need to thank thephoenixx for giving me the idea to do this....thank you Ash, you rock!

I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday.
I have high hopes for 2010! I think it is going to be a great year.

Love, Laughter & Fantasy

So, Im just browsing the home page of Facebook & I stumble upon a post that my 13 year old nephew did....He actually posted a message about me & told people to join my fan club. I almost started to cry. I couldn't believe it!!! what a sweet heart....all of my nieces & nephews rock!!! *I have 18 total by the way LOL*

Here is a screen shot of Facebooks Home page.... I hope you can see it

This is what he wrote if you can't see it:
