My art is for sale at BigCartel and soon Etsy. Each month paintings will be swapped out and new ones will appear for you to shop. Currently my art is abstract but soon will change to landscapes.

SPACE:

I have an entire room now to paint and make a mess!!!! It's a dream to have. Rob made my desk with sawhorses and a great piece of wood on top. I love it. Simple and large enough for me to paint on several pieces at once. The best part is I can leave my mess.
*make a space even if it's in a closet or a small corner to paint. It's important to have a designated place for you to create.
GET INSPIRED:
Use your imagination and get inspired. Thankfully we have google. Personally, I enjoy looking at books so I went to the library and checked out artists who inspire me. Rob bought me Cy Twombly book and I love flipping though it often.
GOALS:
I need goals. Otherwise I put it off. I also need lists because I am so visual. My goal is still in the works... I am creating a muse or theme. Ask yourself, who inspires me? Or think of a vacation you would like to go on. This patio is what inspires me always...
SUPPLIES:
Make sure you have all the supplies you need. Especially when you live in the country like me... I don't like to have to make several trips.

My husband is my support. I also like to look to family and friends. But I have also learned it's important to believe in your work. Be confident in you.
*One last tip I like, put quotes up from other artists or designers. I also like printing photo's from other artists work and putting them up in my space.
This first post was a bit long, but I wanted to share my 5 tips. Most posts won't be this long. Thanks for visiting and hopefully you can visit my art at big cartel too.
