Here's a cheery one!
Blancmange
Blancmange, oil on canvas, 8"x10". Sold.
I've never tasted a blancmange. Although, I do find wiggly food rather interesting. I mean, what is a blancmange? Is it a custard, is it jello, is it aspic? And wasn't there an 80's band called Blancmange? It truly is a unique dessert.
The Upside Of A Breakdown
I truly feel that one of the upsides of a breakdown is pretty flowers. On Friday my husband's response to my high pitched shrieking phone call was to run home with some much needed pretty flowers. I must say, I'm feeling a whole lot better thanks to everyone's wonderful comments, emails, and great advice. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I've worked out some new polices that I should have figured out a long time ago, but I feel I was always scrambling to keep on top of things and I never had the opportunity to figure out how to make things work better. I've pretty much outlined it on my etsy store front page but I will be posting originals three days a week- Mon, Tues, and Wednesday at 7pm eastern standard time. Usually, there will be more than one painting listed on those days, with exception of this week, as I have to do some catch-up work. I will only have one shipping day a week which will be Thursday. In addition, because I receive many emails throughout the week asking me how to get an original, I will be dusting off my old ebay account to list some of my larger work, and hopefully, that will satisfy some of my buyers who are getting frustrated at never getting the opportunity to buy an original. I'll post the ebay painting on my blog- just like I do with my etsy ones, and link it to my ebay shop (Thanks Lara and Jennifer for reminding me about the glories of ebay). Hopefully that works for everyone! And again, thank you so much for your wonderful thoughts, words, suggestions, and support.
Original Oil Paintings
I just thought I should mention that lately my oil paintings have been taking a little longer than usual to dry thanks to humidity- especially my paintings with green paint. For some reason, the green paint has slower dryers in it. So if you have purchased a painting in the past few weeks and are wondering where it is- it is either on it's way, or it's stuck in my studio slowly drying. It is a nuisance, I know. I just would rather hold them a little longer and ship them out when I don't run the risk of smearing paint around on the packing tissue. Thank you for your patience!
