Painting a belly dancer folk art girl

I just finished a mixed media folk art painting of a raven haired belly dancer. I had fun and the 2 girls playing in the yard came over to ooh and ahh so I painted them each a bookmark to take home. I need to go outside and take a photo of it before it blows away. Still cleaning up my toys. Why is it so easy to set up and so time consuming to clean up?
mood: creative

Monday is for Blogging

think I'm going to make it a habit to update all my blogs on Monday. That way I won't miss any in my random way of posting here, there and everywhere. So far today I've done five pages of calligraphy practice and posted an article with photos on it.

My google adsense was way down on Sunday. Maybe everyone went to the beach for the weekend.

Right now the 'blow-n-go' guys are out front, so it's hard to think. I miss the old days when gardening meant a rotary mower and a pair of hand grass clippers. People don't realize the toll noise pollution takes on us. I'd rather have the weeds and long grass than the noise, but I don't get a say in it since I don't own the apartment structure.

Sat. I did beadwork and Sun. I did knitting so typing is a bit painful.

Yesterday we went out to Todai for sushi. I found out I like green tea cheesecake. Who knew? I saved the scallop shells for my wind chimes. Or a mobile. I haven't decided which one I want to make yet.

I finished two paintings today. I put one of them in my etsy shop this morning. I also listed an older painting as well. One painting is of a faun and the other one is a clown. And the one I finished but didn't list yet is a still life with brass goblets and a striped blanket.
I'm trying some mini-canvases because so many people tell me they can't afford a big painting. I don't really believe art should be priced by the inch like carpeting, but I do hope to make my art more affordable so I can increase my sales.
