These are from my favourite two series and I wanted to share them with you in one place. It also shows how you could display a whole collection in your home. Left to right and top to bottom there are 13 MINI MASTER (homage to a famous masters on their birthday) and 8 MINI MASTERPIECES.

BLOG 400

First I would like to thank all my readers for helping me reach this milestone. When I started daily blogging 400 posts ago I would never have imagined that I would keep it up this long. In some ways it's not surprising, because I am a published author several times over. As a teenager I was a prolific letter writer and I also kept a diary for many years, so I suppose there is some latent memory from those marathons. Life does have a habit of getting in the way though and until now, my adult writing has been dedicated to writes and re-writes of manuscripts. One day I will share my latest literate effort, but it's still under wraps at the moment.

When I took up blogging I had been a member of Daily Paintworks for about 6 months and although painting daily, I had not yet worked up to speed of painting a new work each day. That changed in January 2013 when Leslie Saeta set her first challenge of 30 paintings in 30 days. She recommended setting some creative goals, and I chose to learn more about ACEO (ART CARD EDITIONS AND ORIGINALS) by painting one each day. I was thrilled when I developed quite a following in the first month and I haven't looked back. 

No artist can hope to sell every piece they create, but it is a fact if you produce more finished work you will sell more paintings. In 2013 I created 282 paintings and sold over 100 which was somewhat of a record for me. I also blogged, moderated my GET YOUR ART OUT THERE group on Facebook and completed a huge amount of hands on learning. This year I have begun implementing plans for "Paint a Masterpiece" to start making a profit so I can draw a wage: This may mean I blog and paint less frequently for a while until I can afford an assistant of course.
