Starting My Art Career

 An artist has to start somewhere. It's been a very slow start with lots of researching and inspiration. I'm an obsessive researcher. I've spent days looking up artist mothers, selling your art, and starting an art business. While I've had moments of feeling overwhelmed this time I am really motivated to just do it. Every year I go down the road of wanting to make my talent and my dream of being an artist a reality. Now I have gotten to the point where it has hit me that if I never start and then keep on painting I'll never be an artist. Instead of making excuses for why I haven't made any painting I'll just be doing them. 

I've got a sketch down of a fox girl to paint in acrylic. Hoping there will be a Wildlife Girls series if this Fox Girl comes out nicely. My acrylic painting abilities are very very rusty. 

It's important that I have a start to this journey.Today I even made the base for my artist website. I can't make cards without a website to direct everyone to! Even blasted my blog on my personal facebook page. There is still lots to set up and perfect. Facebook page, twitter, tumblr, whatever other social media, etc. First the most import part needs to happen..and that is the paintings.
