Still Working

It's been quite a difficult year for me, but I continue to work, at both my ceramic art and paintings. My daughter and her family live next door to my husband and me. Due to the coronavirus, we are unable to visit each other except outdoors and with masks. It has been a hardship, especially for us "seniors." We haven't left the house in over six months now, pretty tough. Fortunately, I am an artist, he a craftsperson/artist, and for some unexplicable reason, our artworks have been in great demand this past year, which kept us both really busy and able to keep the sadness/loneliness, etc. somewhat at bay as we see our family members go about their lives just next door without many restrictions. But I am getting a bit burned out on my ceramic artwork and have stopped taking wholesale orders from galleries -- except for one gallery who only wants my large one-of-a-kind sculptures. As I often do when I tire from one of my two areas of artwork, I am now doing less in the ceramic side of my business and spending more time painting again. Thus, I've begun taking commissions for custom paintings. Just drop me a message at my email address if you're interested. I've re-published my "How to Commission a Painting" page, so it can give you details on prices, etc. The number of paintings I will take is limited because, unfortunately, I am a meticulous, thus slow, painter and don't want to take on more than I'm comfortable with. I can let you know where you will stand in the calendar if you choose to commission a painting. In a few moments, I'll be publishing photos of a couple of cow paintings I recently finished, one of which is a "redo" of one I did a couple of years ago which I just wasn't completely happy with. Now I like it.
