My husband and I stumbled upon (quite literally) this classic while in the town of Galle, in Sri Lanka. It was just begging to be painted.

In other news, the luncheon last week was a great success for me. I sold some great work, and might even have some commissions coming out of it. Pretty exciting! Not to mention the fact that I was able to meet some other fantastic artists here in Singapore. Getting to network with other artists is such a rare treat for me.

As I'm looking at the best way to reach my audience, I think I am going to hold off on any fairs until the fall. So, in the meantime, I'm re-focusing on my Etsy store (you can visit it here) so that I can continue selling to people in the US. I'm also going to look further afield for my inspiration. I've travelled so much in the past couple of years, I really want to make good on those experiences. So, look for some fantastic paintings from NYC, Italy, the Lowcountry, and even the rest of SE Asia. I'm so excited about branching out!

Old School - Daily Painting #16

I was starting to feel in a bit of a rut thanks to monsoon season.  Not rain, but monsoon season.  It started raining Friday night and hasn't stopped all day today (it is Monday afternoon).  That gets me down after a while.  Thankfully, Daily Paintworks had a challenge up.  I was hoping someone would start another challenge group after Karin Jurick's "Different Strokes" blog kind of petered out.  I would have, but I don't have quite the following that she does.   In any case, I found this challenge to be tons of fun, and quite a challenge.  All of the reflections!  The hardest part was not looking at what other people had submitted so far.  That was tough.

In other news, school starts today, and I am very stoked.  I was never this excited about business school in undergrad.  Maybe it's a sign?  This semester is Cityscape, so I'll be wandering the city, taking my paints with me!  Oh, I can't wait.

I've had a really difficult time getting in a groove. This little guy was my third attempt at painting today. The first two were total wipe-offs. I'm hoping to get the bad stuff out of the way so I can make some good breakthroughs.
