But the weekend was pretty decent, because I painted. I know I'm not good at it, but I don't care, because there's a whole genre of art that my work fits into: folk art. And I'm finding it to be a very therapeutic hobby.
Anyway, I listed a few things on eBay yesterday. I listed a folk art seahorse painted by my friend, K. If the price seems a little high, it's because she's a REAL artist, who sells her work in galleries in Miami and elsewhere for thousands of dollars. This piece is a steal... and you can find the listing here.
And here's an owl I painted this weekend. A lot of people think "if you've been wise..." may have something to do with an owl, and the owl is a powerful symbol in Native American folklore. So, I painted one. I like to blend colors, and I think this one isn't too bad...
If you would like to help out a struggling single mom make up a little from income lost taking days off to care for my mom, you can find the listing here. K has also donated her painting to help out, and she will split the sale of her painting with me.
And then, I painted my interpretation of The Little Girl from India. I thought it was pretty funny. If you want to buy this little piece of chase history, you can bid on it here.
And I think I'm ready to sell "Love Story," although I do want to touch it up a little. I'll even out the dark spots and make sure the color is uniform. You can find the listing here.
Tesuque isn't quite done, but I hope to have him listed, as well as a few other trinkets and baubles, by tonight or tomorrow.
Have a great day!
