Our new show hung at The Gallery Underground on August 25th and 4 days later this painting sold!  I'm so happy.  That's 3 paintings at Cassatt's and one at the gallery for the month of August.  It's been so slow on sales for my Etsy store this month but this perks it all up.  The rent is paid for the next 6 months.  I've been at the beach for 10 days and not painting so back into the studio tomorrow.

Recycle - Renew - Rebirth - those are the words I'm using for art I'm creating lately.  Old paintings are being painted over with a whole new outlook.  If it hasn't sold in over a year it's fair play to be recycled into a new beauty!  This one has a lot of texture as I used a palette knife.  It's vibrant and lively.  I love painting landscapes.  Available in my Etsy store.  

View of Georgetown from Roosevelt Island

I was recently contacted by a potential customer via my Etsy Store that was looking for a painting of D.C. or Georgetown.  I referred her to the few that I had left in my store.  That got me thinking that I hadn't painted anything of my hometown in awhile so I was inspired to paint this scene of Georgetown from Roosevelt Island.  I love color as you can tell from all of my other paintings so I decided to choose the view at sunset.  I think it turned out pretty well.  Hoping she will like it and purchase it but if not it will be in my store for sale. 

Commission - Savannah Marsh Landscape

Hmmm.  Commissions can sometimes be tricky.... and a bit daunting.  Usually, I'm contacted by someone through my Etsy store asking if I can either paint something I've already done in another size (that's the easy case) or they have a photo or an idea of what they want.  Sometimes there is a bit back and forth before we decide how and what to paint.  This commission was really fun.  The customer knew exactly what she wanted and sent me some photos as well as photos of the room she was going to hang it in which was very helpful.  I had a lot of fun painting it because of the looseness of the brush strokes and the vivid color choices.  I plan to use some of these colors in future landscapes as I find them very fresh.  Let me know what you think by leaving a comment.  She was very happy with the results!  You never know with a commission - just have to hold your breath until they see the photos and get back to you.

This has been a good week for me on Etsy!  I had this painting commissioned by a customer on Monday.  It's finished and I'll ship it on Monday.  I had painted one very similar in a much smaller size and she wanted it larger.  She was very happy with the results.  I also got another 24 x 30 landscape commission today of a South Carolina Marsh View that I'm almost finished painting.  It should be dry by the end of next week and ready for shipping!  I'll post photo's when it's done.
