Things here at the house are getting pretty hectic, too...I have lists everywhere and calendars are filling up with schedules, activities for the kids and Christmas parties all over the place. No wonder it's hard to keep up with it all :) That's not to mention the cleaning and shopping. I love cyber Monday :)
My youngest son, Ethan did his solo in his Christmas concert beautifully...we were all so proud!
They also enjoyed the Christmas parade :)
Facebook, Twitter, Blogs and Google Plus, Etsy, Fine Art America...Anybody else find it hard to keep up with it all? As an artist, I think it's important to be on at least some of these social media sites. It's a way of getting your work out there and seen and also see and enjoy other artists's work. I like to start my day by checking my email and putter around with all these different social media sites.
Here's my problem...I get on all these sites, and it's fun...meeting other artists and chatting and having a look at all the amazing artwork out there. The next things you know, hours have gone by and I haven't painted a darn thing! Anybody else experience this? I'd love to hear how other artists and bloggers balance it all. (Yes, I know I have been slow updating my blog here!)
So that being said, in spite of all the craziness going on around here, I have got a bit of painting in:) Here is a sneak peek of my latest work! It's a work in progress, still a bit more work to be done.
I plan on adding some collage elements to it. It's based on a photo of my grandfather when he first came to Canada from Poland. I collaged in some letters from his mother in Poland, some pay stubs and some receipts of money he sent back to the mother country. A lot of these got painted over, so I will print these off on rice paper and collage them back in, distress it a bit, too. Any thoughts?
Thanks for stopping by!
