EXCITING NEWS!
You may not know this about me, but a few years ago when I picked up my paintbrush, I hadn't touched it for over 36 years. In fact, I had been so out of touch with myself that I quite literally forgot that I even knew how to draw. With this newfound rediscovery, and a follow my heart attitude, I wanted to see If I could paint and sell my art. A dream of mine since I was a young girl. I had always dreamt of being an author and Illustrator. I started out using a free watercolour kit that I had leftover from one of my kids' supply stash and some index cards. I started painting a little farmer boy with braces, a row of pumpkins in the background with a Jack Russell Terrier at the farmer's side. To my amazement It sold. { Maybe it was more pity she took on me than my skills, but still. It made my heart beat like a kettle drum!} I then opened a little Etsy shop and began selling pieces I would paint. I was shocked and also ecstatic because people were actually buying them. It created within me a small spark of self-confidence. I then decided to create one day of the week that I would offer to paint little custom pieces for folks that may want to memorialize a moment in their life. It really took off and each Thursday I have been painting Little Women and Mermaidlings ever sense.
