August has been a slow month but it usually is!  This is my third sale of the month.  I'm always happy when I sell a painting that has been around a little while.  This is going to a customer in Baltimore.  It seems like I sell a lot of my paintings on Etsy to semi-local customers.  I do hope he likes it.  You never know when you sell on-line and they haven't seen it in person but I've only had two returns out of 65 sales so I think that's a good record.  I'm heading off to return my daughter to college and spend the last week of summer at the beach.  Back to daily painting in September.

A great day today.  I sold this original of Carolina Sunset today on Etsy.  Isn't it funny since I sold a print of this same painting about a week ago.  People really like this one.  I was in my studio painting another French scene of Provence when this sold.  It made my day.  I had to run down to the Gallery Underground and pick it up as it was hanging there.  I quickly shipped it out.  It's always nice to spend my day in the art studio.  I'm hoping this means that people are shopping again as August has been pretty slow.  Keep watching for my French paintings.  I'll be posting again soon.

Back from my fabulous trip to France and armed with so many great photos I was ready to paint!  And then I ended up sick for the whole week with a terrible cold.  But I had already committed to work at the Gallery Underground on Friday so I dragged my paints and board there and one of my photos and put myself to work.  In only a few hours I had transformed this canvas into a beautiful French Garden.  This was one of the views at my hotel in Provence.  I could easily spend a year in Provence traveling around all of the tiny villages taking photos and painting.  There are so many gorgeous old buildings, gardens, gates, window boxes, etc. that capture my imagination.  I will be painting France for the next several months I'm sure.  You can truly understand why the Impressionist movement began in France.  I hope you enjoy what I create.

Sold my first print while away in France.  I'm so excited.  Hoping that this side of the business will take off.  It's so easy as I just order the print from Imagekind and they ship directly to the purchaser.  I had a wonderful time in France and took over 800 photos.  I have so much new material for painting.  I can't wait to get started.  I'll be working at the gallery friday so will definitely be painting then.  Remember a print makes a great inexpensive art gift for someone if you can't afford a painting.
