I'm a self taught artist with a full time job in an Equine Veterinary Clinic. My last of 3 children left home last year- and I finally feel like it's my time to seriously pursue the development and sale of my art, and stop giving it away. I'm a marketing moron. Joining Scuttlebutt has been such a huge resource of inspiring creative people- many of whom are eager to share their ideas, techniques, and advice- all of which I wholeheartedly seek out and absorb like a sponge. I love having people respond to my posted pieces, and my hand is on fire for wanting to get the next idea on paper. As some of you have figured out- I'm nuts about trees. I'm intrigued with finding human features in branches, bark, and old stumps. I'm crazy about detail. The finest tip black ink pens were my friends for 20 years- and I'm trying to learn how to use color. I love seeing works that explode and are bold with it, that flow, and have light. Always I think "How did you do that!" A Scuttlebutt member suggested I buy the biggest filbert I could get and try painting something big. That hasn't happened yet, but there are more colors appearing all the time. I welcome any and all comments and advice- and I say thank you to everyone who has encouraged me to grow as an artist. You inspire me more than you know.

Sir Lancelot was painted on blue Canson MeTeintes paper. It comes in about 50 different colors and it's great to work on. However, there are many different grounds manufactured for the pastel medium and the pastels react a little differently on each.  Marketing is an art in itself! Something I haven't mastered either!!!  :)  I just joined the Art Calendar Community today....so thanks for checking out my site and dropping a note....that's very encouraging.

Thanks. We have identical lives...except I don't have kids.  But, the getting caught up in the every day and not pursuing your thing...that's me!!

I'm over 40 now, and I'm ready!  You go girl..we can do it together!

Hi Selliot,


 There are some great art books by Jack White that have lots of incredible information about how to promote and market your work.  Go to www.senkarik.cim and click on books.  Start with book 1 The Mystery of Making It.  I couldn't put it down, and then couldn't wait to finish it to get to the next book.  Hope they help!  Nice work, can't wait to see more.

This is great Selliot. Beautifully painted. What is the medium? The detail on the feathers is striking as is the tree bark. I'm sure that with a little luck and a lot persistence, you will do well in the sales area. You already do well in the art side.
