My facebook art posts are beginning to show fruit. I've sold two paintings in 2 weeks, and yesterday, a cousin of mine has offered to create my first coffee table book replete with all my art, pictures and copy. It's an exciting time, but it also costs money. We will print no less than 30-50 copies and no more. I would give copies to close family, but I'll sell the rest.
However, another cousin of mine has offered to pick up the tab - quite a generous gesture considering that she has been demonized no less by my siblings. I have never had anything against her. In fact, if anything, I owe the world to them for supporting me here since I arrived back in 2007. They can say what they will about my cousin, but I rest my case here. She is a Godsend to me - nothing less than that.
Another cousin of mine asked to paint a piece for a blank space in their house - something I am only too willing to oblige, while another relative called to say that her mom and dad (my uncle and aunt) are interested in buying a piece for their new living room. I should have done this eons ago, but it is better late than never, and the benefits are just beginning to show.
The prospect of having a book with all my pen & ink, watercolor, and acrylic works is exciting. Many of the works are already sold, and I'm guessing that whoever bought them would only be too glad to see my work published because that means their works also get added value.
The time has come, and I believe this is my time.
