First things first!

Well, this is my first blog.  My site here will be committed to my love of art and the small business I am starting in order to make some much needed money!  I believe that if you love something, you might as well make money while you do it, right? About 1 1/2 years ago I started a page on Etsy selling nursery art.  I had done some art for my children as well as some friends kiddos.  So I got a suggestion from a friend to start an Etsy page.  I had NEVER heard of it.  After about 2 minutes on the page, I knew what I had to do.  I got PayPal set up, set up my shop and 2 weeks later had my first Sale!!!  Since then I have had roughly 30 sales on my site and countless commissioned projects off the site.  Because I cant figure out how to display a gallery of ALL paintings I do on my Etsy page, I have created this blog.  Whaa Laa!

Im excited about sharing my tips, treasures and ideas.  I look forward to a bright future, lots of comments and learning from my followers.

Here is one of my recent pieces!


Laguna Madre Red
36" x 24"
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD

I sold this one out of Padre Island Mail and More on SPID on North Padre Island.  I use them for all of my shipping and their staff is amazing.  I will not use anyone else.  I am planning on doing a whole series of fish from the Texas Coastal Bend.  

In more exciting news I am pleased to tell you that I think I am about move from my dining room to a small studio I found in Flour Bluff.  More to come!!
