today...

finally, a day with out rain. ahhhhh. beautiful! the sun was bright and it wasn't as cold as it has been for the past week or so, so it was a great day to go hiking with the dog. inga is currently sleeping at my feet under the desk, worn out from our romp. :)

i did a little overhaul to the shop today. i figure it's definitely worth giving it the best possible shot at success i can, and making it look it's best is the best place to start. i'm currently re-curating it and will start scaling back on what i offer during the next few weeks. i'd rather present a small, sparkling collection of work than bombard people with paintings that don't necessarily fit with one another. besides, i'm not really a "something for everyone" kind of painter to begin with and i'd do well to remember that. all this to say, things will soon be disappearing from the shop. but not to worry! i'm working every single day and will build up a big, beautiful inventory of available artwork soon. keep an eye out.

between the galleries and the shop, i am one busy girl. but i like being a busy girl and feel lucky i've got so many venues to expose my work with. it's all about getting it out in to the world and giving your little babies the chance to find new homes of their own. that's where art really works its magic: touching the lives of others. and at the end of the day, that's exactly what i'm trying to do. i plan on staying up late again and losing myself in the oils. i've already put the coffee on.
