Managing Myself



There is a lot to do when you are trying to sell artwork and sometimes it's overwhelming. This a time when I have a lot to do: framing my work, signing artwork into galleries, arranging prints and cards, asking people to carry them in their stores, and keeping track of where everything is. AND finding time to turn out the masterpieces, of course.

I need a manager! My husband, John, does a lot for me but he has a life, too. I was so jealous when I took a (wonderful) workshop with Judy Morris and she told us that her husband does all her framing and she hasn't cooked a meal in years. Wow.

I just got a proof for an ad I placed in the Block Island Times. I was amused to see that the image is pretty crooked. Either my picture taking was terrible or the watercolor paper is warped, but the effect is ....crooked. I will let it go and hope that people looking at it think that my painting is charmingly whimsical.
