New Stuff…
Hello everyone! I know I’ve really been slacking off lately on the website and blog. Don’t worry, though… I haven’t stopped painting. I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things with my internet business. Lately I’ve been focusing on marketing locally a little more by doing the Little Rock Farmer’s Market to slowly begin creating a local buzz about my work. I figure, hell, I live here. I should be selling here too.
And it’s working.
Last week I was invited to join a fabulous showroom on Cantrell called “Elements of Design and today I’m really focusing on creating some new thingsĀ for that exhibit as well as some bigger gallery pieces for other hangings. I’m going BIG! I’ll be selling small stuff (24″x24″ and below) on Ebay and at small markets for cheap ($200 and below) and keeping the big stuff (from 24″x30″ to 60″+) for upscale showings.
I’m also teaching a class every other Tuesday at 2PM at a local retirement home http://goodshepherdcommunity.com. Since I committed to teach, I keepĀ hearing that teaching is the best way to learn, so we’ll see if my work improves dramatically over the next couple of months.
Last bit (I think) of news… Today I was accepted to hang at the Starving Artist Cafe in downtown Little Rock www.starvingartistcafe.net. I’ll be painting at the Starving Artist during dinner Thursday, October 12 and Wednesday, October 25. I think I’m bringing work for sale as well, so hopefully this will turn out to be a profitable venture. Hey, any exposure is good, no matter how small.
Oh, one more thing. The Artery opened Saturday night in Eureka Springs http://www.eurekaspringsartists.com/artery.shtml. I know they won’t have the new Artery posted anytime soon, but my panel is the third from the left, right next to the ‘Thanks to…” board. Actually, you know what? Here it is.
