afternoon at Moraine State Park

Away for a while and

Watercolor of Yellow Grass Spider and Dry Queen Annes lace from the field behind the house.
Done in my 'hand journal book".

I have been trying to focus on getting some extra chores done around the house here before the kids get out of school. Which tends to lead me to put 'art' aside. With Easter and soccer starting up as well, the first thing to go/suffer is doing any kind of art or creative thing.

Now I am feeling the 'loss'. It does feel like a loss. Like the loss of a friend and you know you should pick up that phone and call them but again you put it off. I miss my friend, part of me that would allow me escape my 'to do' list and focus my attention on something else.

"lucky "ATC March done

"LUCKY" -theme of CMP ATC swap. Woriking in a couple of horseshoes,3 shamrocks,Lucky stars and of corse a rabbits foot. I used ink and watercolor.

A Marketing Monday

Spend most of my DAY(and into the evening) working on some Marketing on Monday As you might of seen in my earlier post, I have been invited to collaborate in a presentation with the author of a book I illustrated. So I am starting to put the word out. Though this is not an event to specifically generate money from sales of art for me or anything,I think it will be fun. I am trying my hand at using some of the on line marketing tools.
I am new to Face Book and started there today by creating an event. It is easy to share this with other face book friends. I only tested on a few friends to see what it looked like on the receiving end. I plan researching some other groups or people in my area to invite as well. I am thinking genealogy groups, writers and writers groups. Maybe some graphic design firms. anybody in the area who might need art for a project. I will let you know how this research goes. I am a little lost at how to start...

ATC 'RED' recieved

This is the lovely ATC card I received. It is made of fabric. I never would of thought to use another medium such as fabric.Another great piece to add to my collection.
