Newest Paintings and Why I will Never Be Rich

I've been busy painting and, finally, selling on a regular basis. Of course, I price my pictures "competitively", as they say - another term for saying I do it mostly for love. A lot of people aren't even able to do that. Doing what you love is meant to be priceless, yes? And I would do it (almost) for nothing anyway, but I can still dream. And so I begin a new painting, believing this is the one that will prove I'm worth just a little bit more.

Below are some of my favorites done over the last few weeks. Funny how the ones I love the most turn out to be the hardest to sell. I paint for myself (as I write my fiction for myself) and what makes me smile or giggle I assume will do the same for others. Not so. But when someone does get me, it fills me with satisfaction.

I also sold a couple of paintings finished ages ago. This was a delightful surprise because the buyer found me by surfing online. I love that kind of sale.

I apologize for waiting so long to blog, but I really have been busy.

Hope you all had a delightful New Year. By now it's all a distant memory. Back to work.
