Yes, you are seeing the same thing I posted yesterday, but with one addition.

Turns out I couldn’t find a ready-made frame to fit 3 little paintings, so I bought these square frames which fit 4 of them!

I chose to paint an orange flower to finish off the set, on a purple background. That way they’re all connected by colour.

I may have to paint the frames black, but I like the light wood. We’ll see on that.

I haven’t chosen the correct layout for them yet either, but I painted the cardboard edges black and got some black card stock to mount them on when I frame them. They really pop on black. I’ll share photos of the finished product when its ready.

Meanwhile, the wind continues and the weather doesn’t encourage too much time outdoors. When the sun comes out its beautiful but windy. When the sun disappears, as it has all throughout the day, being chased by clouds, its chilly. Eh. Its March. Traditionally a windy month on a windy island in a group of windy islands.

Not a skerick of progress has been made on an online shop. I think I need to get up and sit at the computer and focus on that alone for 2 or 10 hours or so… Sometimes I really hate all this online stuff. It’s very necessary, but it takes up so much time! Just maintaining an online presence (for grooming as well as my art) is so time consuming, and I know I don’t do close to enough.

How do people do it? Manage to run an online business and still be creative?

Beats me.
