Its the countdown to the new year
 

For the first time I am going to be in a store, selling my artwork and introducing myself to strangers. I am really excited about this opportunity. This is a chance to meet new people, to tell people about me, to share my imagination with the world and hopefully I can get people to purchase my art pieces. I have been selling art pieces to the people who follow my blog and so far it has been a joy. I enjoy selling pieces and I love that I inspire people enough to put my pieces in their homes. I even had someone who said they were getting it framed. In my eyes that is a high compliment. 

Six months ago I never imagined that I would ever be in a position where I can call myself an artist and I certainly never thought that I would be where I am. It is pretty difficult to get artwork up in a store and not only that but to get them to like you enough to become a vendor just by walking in the store. Back in elementary school I had thought that one day I was going to do art. We used to paint all the time. We even had a full hour where we got to express ourselves and learn new techniques when it came to layering colors and how to mix paint. We were taught how to do self-portraits and paint landscapes. Not very many elementary schools do that anymore and I was one of the few who got inspired by that. The only thing I hated was realistic painting. I can’t draw a face, let alone anything that looked close to a photograph. 

For the most part I just build things on canvases and try to tell a story. I try to put something different into my pieces and I play with different materials. I do from photographs or cats, dogs, people, birds to a 3D touchable art piece mixed with oil painting. It’s weird but it looks incredible. Honestly I love what I do and I am glad that one my dreams as a child is coming to life. I couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity and I can’t wait to share the stories and the adventure that will happen. I just know that I am going to grow so much and learn so many things. 

So I hope you guys are ready because even though I will have a priority on selling in the store I do still have an online store where most of my galaxy pieces will go. So I just wanted to tell you all that I am going to have an art sale on the usual date, the 18th, and there are so many new and incredible pieces that I have made. I can’t wait to share it with you guys. 

lets get ready for the new year cause it is coming and I have a feeling its going to start off great.
