I'm talking now
I'm out of my sick bed for a bit. Just need to get some body parts to move some. I don't know how long I will be in this condition, but it's apparent I may be this way awhile. I appreciate the prayers coming my way for healing and recovery. This is part of my life as a disabled. Sometimes health issues arise from that. I hope one day to be fully rid of such bothersome interruptions in my life, until then, I deal with them as best I can, and try not to complain, too much....=/
So sometimes I lay there thinking about the work I want to be creating, rather then laying there doing nothing but watching tv, and sucking on oxygen. Yeah, a real drag. So, I think I will embed the shopping cart system from Fine Art Prints to my website here. An idea from the printing site to keep any viewers focused on my work, rather then checking out everyone elses, work as I direct them to the printing site where thousands of other Artist's are doing the same thing. In the meantime, all I have is time, to try and get better, as quick as I can. I have been working on and off with Christmas greeting card designs. So that's doing something anyway. Time for me to return to my bed. My need to move about some has just expired. Have a good night all. Peace.

It could be better...
I'm not sure if it's the hard times people find themselves in or that my work is not generating the kind of interest to make them want to buy. It's been a year since I started to share my work on the net. I get a lot of good comments on my work, but not a single print of my work has been sold as of this date. I haven't taken it personal, yet, as this is the situation with a bad national economy, and why I have been working to get a business going in selling my work. So far, it hasn't happened. Will keep the chin up, in the meantime, as I am still drawing, painting with my watercolors and adding new works on my site. I do have the problem of taking good photographs of my work. Indoor lighting does not do justice to some of my works I have shared here. I'm looking for a way to get them photographed better outdoors. Not an easy job for me in my situation, but not impossible either. I will keep trying. It's important to get a really good, sharp focus of the artwork in order for them to qualify for printing. So if you have wondered why there are works not yet available for purchase in prints, tyhis is why. Over the long summer months I have had to deal with health issues that have disrupted my progress in getting more work done on on the website, and into print mode, but I am a survivor, and a fighter. I don't quit, I don't give up, but I do take time off now and then to take a load off, to regroup, to get my bearings, etc etc... Sometimes you have to stop and smell the flowers, right? I am enjoying this process of my hopes and dreams to become a working, successful Artist. It takes time, trial and error and sometimes failure. I'm not afraid. I'm just ready to get on with it. So, yeah, it could be better. One day it will. =) Peace Always, Janet |
