I finally finished this painting. I am very happy to have it off my board because now I get to focus on my Thailand paintings. It did not turn out how I expected, the great thing about the unexpected though is that you learn a few new things. For instance, did you know hair makes an interesting resist? I did not until this week. Joe loves this painting and keeps giving me the puppy dog eyes in hopes that I will cave and give it to him.
I am now offering 5 and 10 pks of postcards on my Etsy shop. I uploaded this painting as well as one new abstract that I did not add on Monday.
In very exciting news: I found out that I am going to be featured next week at Empty Easel. I am thrilled that they picked my work. This week has been a little rough. Work was tough for me and left me with very little energy the last couple of days and that in turn allowed doubts and other things to creep in. The week started off very well though and I did get quite a bit accomplished. I mean, I did finally finish this painting. The email I received from Lisa at Empty Easel was a perfect book end to this week.
Next week is going to be a bit hectic due to the holiday and my work schedule.

Elisha! this turned out amazing!! (lol my first words when i saw it were “freaking coool!”)
Very happy for you too with the feature. Congrats!
Thank you! I think I need a few weeks w/o looking at it before I decide anything. LOL. But I know if you like it then it’s not as bad as I feel it is right now. It’s just one of those times where I have been looking at a painting way too long.
I will post a link to the feature as soon as it’s up!
