share your leap day with a scoundrel of a fish

This is an acrylic painting on paper board of a fish. 8.5" x 3.5"
Be careful he's a little sneaky too. He does have nice lips though....wouldn't you say?

Nibblefest is a themed art contest beginning on the 20th of each month on ebay.

This past months theme was to combine two or more animals to make one. I painted a tapiropus. A tapir and an octopus. I think tapirs are wonderful :)

Tile mosaic jobby

I recieved a call from a non profit organization I did a job for back in 2002.
It was a large wall mural done in tiles with a mosaic center piece.
They sold each tile as a fundraiser. The director is leaving and as a parting gift the board of directors wants to present her with a wall hanging of the center section. I'm working on it now.

Getting back into things

I'm working on my art full time again. I'm dizzy about it....both with the pressure of how best to pay the bills, but also what direction do I want to go? In the past I worked successfully in several areas. Painted furniture, my hand built mosaic wall hangings and painting. I have kept up with my drawing and painting for the last few years, but with working two jobs....it was just here and there.

Marketing is like a whole other business, and definately does not come naturally to me. My website is up and running, could use some tweaking, but overall I'm proud of it. I need to get some linkage going and figure out the best way for me to advertise. I've been doing a little bit of everything and I have to say......I'm super excited.
