Bubbles

Finally I'm feeling better that I can get back to making art again. Here is my sketch for today. I'm feeling kind of lost on what I want to focus on creating. Fooled around with the idea of maybe doing a kids series of all the things my daughter loves. I like animals, nature, cute girls, and just whatever. Thinking it's going to be a few month or more of painting continuously until I find my thing. Boy do I wish there were more hours in a day. My daughter goes to bed later and later. This week it's been 11:30 or 12! That give me no time but nap time to do any steady painting or a few hours on the weekdays. 

More Starting Less Finishing

I've been practically sitting here all day. It's been over a year that i have been wanting this artist/craft space or myself. I've had the desk or a long time and even the shelves were bought but just not installed for maybe over half a month. Finally I had enough and needed my space where all my art things were in reach.

All those note pads are my calculations on this art fair I am looking into doing in November. It would be my first art fair! Since I'm starting from scratch the price is a bit shocking. I'm a bit worried that I won't be able to do the fair because prints and having them matted is more costly than I thought. 

Nope I haven't finished the acrylic painting from earlier of the fox girl. Instead I started a small watercolor just to try to get more art faster. 

Here is my sketch or the watercolor above. Not really alike but hoping it comes out good. 

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.
