New VAST member

Hi everyone!
Thanks for the opportunity to contribute to your blog! I am a new Etsy shop owner and a new VAST member, and am eager to meet you all and see your artwork. What I'vs seen here looks great! I have been reading a lot about promoting Etsy shops, but nothing specifically about artwork. I love to hear from everyone how they are promoting their paintings and what kind of success they are having selling paintings.

I can't seem to figure out how to upload images to this post (sorry, I'm a novice blogger, but will figure it out soon!), but I would love it if some of you would drop by my shop at some point and let me know what you think: http://www.etsy.com/shop/baylesdesign.

Thanks!

Pink Peony



I love peonies. They are so fleeting. I miss them already so I saved the experience in this and other watercolors of the peonies in my yard and neighborhood. I've turned some of them into fabric designs too via an online print-on-demand fabric site.

I have just started an artist blog. My intention is to initially reflect on and share the struggles, challenges and joys of my journey to becoming an artist.

Mourning Doves


It's always interesting to see the way the mourning doves interact with each other. Usually they seem very quiet and caring towards each other, as if they do not want to be disturbed. In my new painting, 'The Proposal', I try to show the caring I observe from these delicate crreatures.

ACEO Original - "Teri Rae"

Hope your day is going well!

Good news

I am so happy. I sold the following 7 paintings on ETSY to a collector from Dallas , Texas.It has been a very slow year and a half, but it looks like it's picking up.All my hard work is paying off.







Buffalo Skull with Feathers and Leather Horn Wraps

This is the final listing in my series (of six) of ACEO original Buffalo Skull theme drawings, which I have just added to my Etsy Shop.

Breakthrough


This 10"x 10" acrylic painting has fiery oranges and golden yellows-coming out of the black and magenta backround. Finished with a splattering of gold(which is hard to capture in the photos).This multi-layered painting shows the beauty of an idea exploding into recognition. Elation and confusion as thoughts rearrange. Also known as growth. Painful and beautiful, all at the same time.
