Snowball

It's taken me a while to get another blog posted because the last few days has seen a flurry of sales on my so-called art. Nothing to complain - If I count the orders from the US, along with the orders locally, they number around 6 now, and all that a mere 5 weeks after the Facebook bombardment of my watercolor, acrylic, and pen & ink pieces. My site isn't even up yet, but the orders are beginning to snowball.

I need to get back to painting right after I finish this blog as the 7x5 piece awaits me. It is now 2/3 complete with pencil. The fun and actually, the hardest, part in all this is painting and inking it out. This is by far the biggest piece I have ever made in my entire life. I used to say I would never ever be able to make another one, but just yesterday, my son made the off-handed comment of doing another piece in the same size but only in blue. Hence, another challenge.

This one belongs to Ana and is priced not to sell. No fool will buy it for 600K, even though the effort to complete this masterpiece can only be done (I like to think) by me. It will serve as a barometer against which my other pieces are judged and valued. And, as a final piece of satisfaction - it will jump in value once my demise comes.

That's all for now.
