Good evening brush wielders,

My friend, Marge, mushroom expert, etc, came over with her poision ivy killer kit, and didn't find one leaf on all of my property.

She deduced it had to be the type of seaweed I had gathered for the first time in front of our house! Yikes, I hope not!

Anyway, it is slow to go away, this is week one on steroids and cortizone cream every day and it still itches like crazy and my arm is wrapped in gauze because it looks so gross.

Change of pace, I've been working with flowers lately, as they sell more than seaweed, are smaller, therefore less expensive, and I need six for the May 1st hanging.

My heart wants to go crazy with homeade gesso and acrylycs.

After the gardening is done, and flowers finished, I'll have some wild time.

Do many of you do work you know will sell first, then get into experimentation?

Count your blessings,

Lisabeth

To answer your question...because we're in the home decorating business, if there is a trend of colors selling well, I'll utilize them in a few paintings in hopes to sell them to upcoming customers. And of course commissions always come first. They pay bills. After that, left over time is experiment time. I've got on old unsuccessful project (utilizing photos) sitting in my garage that I've been wanting to re-experiment with. I have an idea, just need the free time to do something with it.
