So I do have FOUR new items to show you guys. I know FOUR, but here is the kicker... They are oil paintings and they are taking forever and a day to dry. I know bummer. I took a stab or two with oil in the past but again left it behind due to its inability to keep up with my impatience.
BUUUTTT if you haven't stopped over please go to my New and Improved Etsy. As promised there is a little promo going on...
My mom did an awesome job helping me post this weekend. If you have any questions I will be more than happy to answer them! My goal is to keep this baby stocked! As much as possible.
So I have been spending time over in Etsy chat and lovin it! Really great people and a lot of fun. Also it is a fun way to advertise AND FREE. Doesn't get any better than that.
I wish I could say I had an exciting weekend but alas, Sat U was doing Etsy all day, and Sunday we stayed in while I painted, BUT BUT... For since the first preview came out I have been wanting to see The Unborn. Finally saw it and I don't think it was half bad....
Today I am going to pick up my contacts. FOR THE FIRST TIME. Guys you wouldn't believe how nervous I am of messing up or screwing them up... I am sooooo nervous. I am going to get colored I think. I have hazel eyes (green and brown) and I think I am going to get green. Adam says blue.. I think blue.. I DON"T KNOW.. I have until 4:00pm today to make a choice.. Any suggestions??????????? What are comfortable brands you wear???
Alright tomorrow I want to tell you about a dream that I had (I wish I could now but I don't have time) It was a crazy dream.... so realistic I can remeber the detail like it was yesterday. Kinda creepy.
Alright loves..
Happy Monday
SMOOCHES,
Steph

Hi Steph ~ I want your "Winter Desolation" piece in your Etsy shoppe!!! Waiting for some more moolah!!!
LOVE oils BUT they are forever in drying though. You get a beautiful translucent quality not achievable with acrylics...I think. Be patient...sometimes (depending on how thick your applied oil paint is) oils can take up to 2-3 months to dry naturally/completely. You could always use Japan dryer mixed in with your oil paints on the next go round to speed up the process. CK tip 4 the day!
Have a great & creative week lady.

Hey Steph,
I used to work with oils when I was a teenager. You can get really good results with them! However, with the four kids it just isn't practical for me anymore.
I can't wait to see all of your paintings!!!!!
It's awesome that your mom can help you list. I have several things sitting on my PC that I still need to put up:-P
How are the contacts? Personally, I'm a fan of green eyes ;-)
