I’m late, so late. For a very important date! The Art on 45 online Auction is up and running. Bids are coming in fast. Christiane would love for you to stop by and check it out. Who knows, you might just find a piece of art you love, to bid on. All the details are on the card above. (Yes, slightly blurry, sorry.)

You will have to sign in on the site if you want to vote for favorites, but you do not have to give your information to do so. Show your support for all of the amazing artists. 🙂

It’s awesome that the show is taking place live this year. A very good sign.
Here’s to an awesome, successful event for Christiane,
and the Louisiana Center for the Blind!

Thanks for clicking through. Have a super weekend everyone!

I had the urge to paint. Already March 15. First painting of the month. Whoa. I always feel guilty that March is a month of little artistic output for me. I am always very busy after the gathering.

First with the group blog post, and Pinterest board. Then with organizing the group digital files. All of the graphics I created, the banner, album covers, and inspirationals. Files I used for painting reference or inspriation get moved to my permanent Inspo file, or trashed.

You know how much I love to organize. Sometimes I think I make a mess just so I can clean it up. LOL. KIdding.

I spent a week working on my Society6 shop. They added new items, like a puzzle and a desk mat. I had to approve new items, and adjust the artwork or pattern to look best for each. Add to that the unfortunate surprise that some items I had turned “on” were off. And some that I had set as “off” were on. Not good. I have 92 designs listed, and there are over 60 items that can be made available for each of them. Huge task. More work there.

I am still home bound. I had an x-ray done today. Next Thursday I see the lung specialist. I’ll be posting an update. Praying that the Covid damage to my lungs is not as bad as expected.

I have to say though, that It feels great to be productive. Even if it is behind the scenes, and no one knows but me. Haha. I even have my next two posts planned.

Enjoy!

Day 30 of February’s 30-Day Creative Gathering

Use what talent you possess:
the woods would be very silent if no birds sang
except those that sang best.

If you want to make time fly, do a daily challenge. Haha. It feels like we should be starting May or June. As if months have passed, instead of just one. So much work has been done. I have to admit, I am pretty stoked that I completed 30 days. Hand in the air for a high five. Haha. I wasn’t sure I’d be up to it. And truth be told, I napped a lot. I procrastinated often. The muse was napping too I think.

Tomorrow I will share my collage of the 30 pieces, and also my favorites with you. Later this week I will share a small sample of the works created by the artists in the group. You won’t want to miss it!

If people would just look at the paintings,
I don’t think they would have any trouble enjoying them.
It’s like looking at a bed of flowers,
you don’t tear your hair out over what it means.
