Another day of packaging art! I had framed about six of the 18″ x 24″ watercolors several years ago. Two are hanging up in my home. I sold one to a friend from high school and the others are stored in the teeny closet in my second bedroom. To get to them, you have to open a little munchkin door. It’s very cute and one of the reasons I fell in love with my little bungalow.
The rest of the paintings are here – I finally packaged them, labelled and titled them, and they are ready to be sold. If I don’t sell them at the Craft & Craft event, I might put them on my Shopify.com site. I love that people will finally get to see them/buy them/enjoy them!
In addition to these pieces, I readied a gazillion more paintings in sizes 14″ x 20″, 12″ x 16″ and 9″ x 12″. I will add them into this blog soon. I am just so tired right now! Sorta kinda giddy-tired, like I’ve fallen into a magical world and don’t want to escape giddy-tired.
I went on a bunch of errands this morning – to school to borrow my favorite yardstick and the table mat, to the vet for Pablo’s “wellness visit”, to do my walk-about at Green Lakes, to Empire Vision to get my sunglasses fixed, and a bunch of other things. I’ve been working on this art business since…I want to say 2:00 pm and now it is after 11:00 and I’m not finished.
I really need to wrap this all up and put everything away. Am having guests over this weekend and the dining room table looks like the aftermath of a tornado at the moment.
Aside from the mess though, I am in love with life right now. Things seem to be happening in the way I have always wanted them to happen. I’m grateful to my old self for having a giant prolific period because I have all of this work to share now in a time where a blog post is possible. I’m grateful that I have a reason to prepare this work and it isn’t going to sit inside a veritable tomb any longer.
These are happy paintings. They make me so happy and I love being surrounded by this much positive energy. See, yeah. Really giddy.
Kare, I enjoyed reading the blog. Your work is colorful and dynamic and it reflects the positive energy of your life. I wish you great sales at the Craft & Craft. I will try to stop by at The Everson’s event. Best, Domenic Gigante Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2015 03:22:16 +0000 To: dgigan@msn.com
Thanks, Domenico. Am praying for nice weather and a good turn out. Would love to leave with a lot less paintings! And it will be great to see you; great to see familiar friendly faces!
I really enjoyed your work Karen. I find it very inspirational. It is so full of life and joy.
I have just returned to art studies after many years working…… too many.
I look forward to revisiting your site.
