I'm talking now
Hello fellow art lovers,
I just had to share in my joy over my first sold print! Cerulean Space Clouds. A nice size print, 2o in x 14 in. Ordered rolled in a tube. Fantastic! Woo Hoo! I love that this is my first sold print. It's my favorite of all my space scenes. I hope it's the first of many. Thanks for hanging in there with me friends. Love.Peace.Hugs

A special note:
To those who have used, and want to use any of my artworks as an image, that you might want to use for a website or blogging, "You are expected to ask me." I ask that you do me that one curiosity, and allow me to check the place which you would like to share my image(s), before I agree, or not. There are sites I have found using my artwork, and the owner never bothered to ask if they could use it. I would rather you bought a print before using them, but if you can't afford to buy, at least ask me if you can borrow an image, and there will be a time frame. I plan to watermark my work or shrink them down to a much smaller size, to keep viewers from stealing them, and putting them in harms way for anyone else to steal. You may enjoy my work on my websites all you wish, just please don't think anyone has a right to use/copy/display my work for a gain that was not purchased or borrowed by request. That's just not cool. I will ask those who have any of my art images currently on their websites, that did not borrow by request or purchase a print from my print site to remove them, now. If they are still on your websites when I recheck them, I will ask the owners who created them to remove them immediately. If you do remove them, I will consider it no harm done, if you do not, I will come after you. I am copyright protected. I can prove my work is mine, and when the work was done, and they are published on several websites. I have the right to charge you for using my images, and the right to sue if you use my images for any monetary gain. It would be best for all concerned not to assume you have the right to use my work in any way without my expressed permission to do so, or your purchase of my art in prints. Thank you, Janet Hinshaw Freehand Artist Sorry for not keeping updated lately. Have had troubles here on the home front, personal. Workable issues, but they need my tender, loving care, so ya know.
Plus, I'm dealing with the fight against skin infections. I've had Septis in the past, bone infections in the hip joint area's, and I have to be careful. Simple things to keep my environment safe against the skin infections are not so simple for a woman in a wheelchair, and dealing with a whole lot of physical pain. I deal with that every day of my life, but rarely does it get me down like it has been lately. I'm usually a fighter, a survivor, and have always been strong in my will to make the best of my life, and the people I care about. My spiritual life is strong still, but the rest of me is overly challenged right now. I've involved myself in the political issues of the day, and I'm an advocate for Native American, and First Nations issues and causes. I'm my authentic self in my faith, and my views, but lately I've grown weary of the constant challenges to my faith, and the way I can't seem to work through what other people see me as, which is often times, the word delusional, that I've been judged as. So, I've taken a time off, of sorts, in all that I do on the net, with the exception of my art, and saying hello to friends now and then. I'm living one day at a time, loving my family here at home, keeping my love for Christ in line with my life, with his love for me, even though many wish I would give up on Christ, and that is a painful lesson I'm learning to live with. With my art, I'm trying to find the right camera that I can afford, to get my new works on line. I will keep working on that, as my work in art is a huge part of who I am. Today is Valentines Day in America. So, Happy Valentines Day! Much love to you all. Janet Hey everyone,
I thought I better add something for you to see, until I get my picture taking done right on my current finished works. It's a spiritual vision piece in my art journal book. Actually, just a small part of the whole picture because I had to scan it. I explain it better with the sketch. Just click on "My Private Collection Art" link, and scroll all the way to the bottom, and you will see the sketch, and a few words about it, and my photo issues. I got the white charcoal done on the wild horses pair, and all I'm doing is trying to take a decent picture. More on that with the sketch. Very frustrating, but I have to keep trying. Won't get far without it. I hope you are keeping warm in this cold weather here. I'm sure cold, bbrrr! Talk soon, Janet Happy New Year, everyone!
I don't generally make new years resolutions. Not going to now, but I have started some changes here at home. I am often sick, usually from respiratory infections, like now. I'm just waiting out till Wednesday when I can make an appointment to see my Dr. I am allergic to dust mites, and their droppings. To touch any dust on my skin, will make me break out in hives. Keeping my place free of dust has been a challenge, because here, everyone is disabled. My challenges, can, and do, often cause me delays in my plans as an artist. Sometimes, even slows me down with my drawings, and paintings. It's not a good way to be, when trying to reach my goals to sell my work. People that view my work, comment on them, if not here, elsewhere on the internet, and in my life away from the cyber world, do help to inspire me, to continue trying to get to that place where I can honestly say, I am an artist that successfully sells my work. I want to create until the day I leave this world, however long that may be. Sharing, and offering them up for sales, is not an easy task for me. Then there are the other challenges, they are outside of actually creating something, and keeping my websites maintained, and my constant works in progress. The websites I use for all of this, are also working to progress further, and they are a challenge to someone that is basically computer dumb with the inner workings that make a computer work, beyond following directions, and clicking on stuff, and typing. Typing is a challenge because of many past sprains, and arthritis. How many people are patient enough to handle someone with such challenges. Not very many. I am always grateful for those of you that take the time to view my work, and most of all sticking with me even in my slow progress in adding new works, and offering them up for sales. Keeping my sites maintained, and progressing, moving forward with the cyber world of things. I find the advice to show my work locally means to get out, and about, and that just is not a way I can get out to the public. I do go out of my home, but it must be good day for me. If I had to meet a timeline to my work, or be at a certain place on certain days in order to show my work, and sell them, then I would fail at it miserably. I find it difficult to even see my mother whom is 2 hours drive away from me. I do it, but if I feel illness coming on, or my energy just isn't there, then of course, more delays. This is part of my life as a disabled person. I think I have it pretty good considering, so many others I know, can't even type. I think communication progress is moving forward on that pretty good, but that points to yet another challenge. Money. Things that would help to progress for a person of my challenges, are often the most expensive. To me, having come this far, has been a miracle. Through friends, family, I have a way forward. It can't last, not without being able to actually generate money. Being able to do my work as an artist, has to eventually come to a place of selling. That is the pay off to all the hard work, and from those that have helped me to get this far. The hope, wish, I have for myself, in 2013, is to have that pay off. The vilification to an artist, is after all, generating sales. I hope to be better organized, and able to meet the many challenges with help, or not. Also, to somehow be able to keep my place free of dust, so that I may maintain better health, with fewer days of illness. Thank you, for those of you that have not given up on me. For those of you that continue to inspire me, and to not give up on myself. May you all know the true meaning of a blessed life, in the new year. Love -N- Peace, Janet Well, I'm finally back on the internet with my computer. I was cut off without warning. I started to use a tablet. It let me visit my website, but would not let me work on it. A different number kept me from using all of my sites. Here it is long past Christmas and I got nothing added to my print site. I was very disappointed with the timing. What is it about the holidays that keep me from my dream to sell?
There is a lot to tell, but right now, I'm just plain exhausted, and wanted to be able to get back into my website, before calling it a night. Will explain better next blog entry. Talk about my artworks then as well. Have a good night everyone. Janet Going to purchase my camera memory card tomorrow! We finally got a little Christmas tree to decorate, and can't wait to get it up, and ready to sparkle at night. Happy to be well enough for the holidays this year. Last year was such a dud because of Cellulitis, and having to stay in the hospital up through Christmas day.
Going to try and scan some sketches from my newest art journal, "art book" If I manage, because it a larger book then my last journal. Got a busy Sunday ahead. God Bless! Peace Hello friends,
Concerning the troubles I wrote about in my last blog entry. Everything is cleared from harm, no thanks to the intruder attack on one of my art works on another website. I know where, and what computer address sent the attack. I have all the info I would need to turn over to the proper authorities if this issue rises up again. For now, I've made sure they get my warning to back off. I've rechecked this site, and my other sites to make sure all is cleared, and safe to continue on with my work, and there will be no harm done to our computers or whatever device is used for the internet. On my work. I've been waiting to purchase a camera memory card. I've gotten a tip to purchase one with 16 GB. That's a huge number of pictures I can take with one card. The price is right as well. I should have the card sometime this week-end, if not sooner. Can't wait to share my latest finished projects! The wild horses drawing, which for now, is titled Mustang Love. I want to share it with my sister friend first, as she was the inspiration for that work. It's nothing like I've ever done before. I had a real good time working on it. So, back to work as before. Have a beautiful day! Peace I had to remove one of my watercolor artworks from my collection of space art works. First Light, Planet Sun was taken from my FAA printing account, and another from an art web gallery I share some of my work on. The image was stolen and used for a purpose to show a difference in photography. They had two different images of the same work because I had both of them on the net at one time. It's too long an explanation to go into, but the image on my FAA account, when I clicked on it from my search on the website it is used on, I was attacked. My protections blocked it, but I still must remove the image. This is something I have been dealing with for a few days now. If you see the image anywhere on the internet that directs you to these places, wastetime.com and any possible stored photographs with my images with or at Bender Covington. That website uses wastetime.com or The Wastetime Post where my art work was shared.
I'll have more info on the attack that was attached to my one art work. I have checked my other images on my website, and they are all without any attached issues that might harm your computers. I apologize for this mess, and the time consuming process it is taking me to protect my work, and our computers, etc., from harm. Hello friends,
How is everyone? I've been getting a large number of viewers to my website lately. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm American, obviously! I had been doing a bit of voluntary work in our recent election for President, and was not working full time on my art, but two of them are just a few hours away from being complete. My large horses drawing is basically done. I'm just going over some area's with a darker graphite for a clearer photograph. This process I take it slow, and easy, so I don't mess up. A couple of my teddy bear drawings are ready to share, and waiting for photographs. I have an old Christmas holiday drawing that I took out of storage. Decided it was outdated, and have made it more bright, and colorful. Hope to have that on my printing site for holiday greeting cards. I like to play with color. The abstract part of me is always doing that with much of my more realistic art work. :) I can use my camera now. I just need to purchase a new camera card, soon. With holidays close at hand, I must be frugal with my limited funds, if I want to be able to visit my mom. So, back to work! Peace |
