Besides life getting in the way, I worked on my calendar, and I made new Christmascards. Even though I think it's waaaayy to early to think about Christmas. But I've had some orders already, so I needed to get going.
Here are some more pages of my new calendar (here are even more):
My calendar will be available from the end of October, online at Lulu. I'll share the link when it's ready.
And here is (only a small) sample of my new Christmas and New Years cards:
And guess what? I sold 2 paintings this week!
"Summerblues":
And I also sold "May you walk gently through this world":
They are like my babies, but I know they're going to good homes, and I'd rather have them there than standing here in my cupboard ...
And speaking of Flora Bowley: a new course is starting on the 30th of September, with updated videos so even more yummy goodness. If you want to sign up for it, please consider using this link, since I'm now a proud affiliate of Bloom True. Since I did Flora's workshop, more than a year ago, my way of painting has changed forever. It is so much more than "learning to paint", it's a totally different way of looking at your painting process and following your intuition.
Well, that's it for now. Next week the spring-holidays start here in Queensland, and I'm taking some time off from my blog to have some quality family time. I also accepted a new commission, so I need some time for that as well.
Linking this as always to Paint Party Friday. Thank you so much for being here, and for giving me your uplifting and heartwarming comments.
I'll still be posting on my Facebookpage, but my blog will be in "vacation-mode" until the end of October. Hope to see you back then! Meanwhile, have a wonderful Friday, and enjoy your weekend! ♥ ♥ ♥
Beautiful silhouettes, the white outline always makes me thing of sugar, so I always imagine candy :oD
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for your sales and commission. Can't wait to see some more calendar pages, Enjoy your creative break from your blog.
ReplyDeleteProficiat met de verkoop van je schilderijen!! En je doodle is weer prachtig. Ook met je kalender en kerstkaarten ben je al een heel end, dus binnenkort zien we wel weer een schilderij verschijnen :-)
ReplyDeleteIk kom ook nergens anders aan toe; ben gewoon blij als ik al één gezichtje per dag kan maken. Maar heb er wel zin in, dus kaartjes maken moet maar even wachten.
Alvast een heel fijn weekend!
Liefs, Marianne
