Art, business, and the inner babe--

Color and light on ordinary stuff- Watercolor 5x7inches

You will probably see a few more of these. I am painting a series with ordinary, simple house 'stuff' on my studio table. I am usually so cautious and exact when I put a brush on paper, that I felt really stiffled. In these I am trying to take advantage of my 'failures', turn my 'mistakes' into 'opportunities'... (yes, it works in painting too!)

I haven't got my Facebook figured out yet. I am afraid my computer is messing up with my passwords.

I got one of these 'free computer cleansing what-evers', a few months ago, and I have bitterly regretted it.

It has totally confused up my darling baby laptop. 

It's either that, or the universe telling me that's not the way.(how do you know when it's really the up-there-universe, or the down-there-subconscious self-sabotaging?

Nah, it's the sick computer...

Also, on the matter of business and art and marketing, did you catch Tara Gentile and Megan Auman's talk on pricing and profit at Etsy labs? If you haven't yet, gogogo watch it! Tell me what you think. 

 I was struck by a few lighting bolts.. while watching. I realized I had not been using my brain while pricing, but the emotional intelligence of my insecure inner babe...(sad). I let it sink in for a few hours and made some changes in my shop that felt much better. Not that I have in any sense grasped the business side of things yet, but I have started and I plan to enjoy every minute of my self directed business course. I do have some book titles to share with you soon as well. Do you enjoy audio books?

Hugs-
