In my efforts to promote my sites more last week, I came across a place called Trunkt. It is an online portfolio where you can link to your sites. Alot of the sellers on Etsy were quite excited about it and I had been seeing the name on a few design blogs. There is a bit of a jurying process, but you can submit again if you are declined the first time. I made a few changes and got accepted on my second attempt.
Last week one of the art reps at Wilkinsons Studio contacted me about updating my portfolio with some images depicting activity. I dont do alot of "activity" images outside of illustrating. First, what would I do with a painting of grandma peeling potatoes. Second, I really do struggle with drawing people in action. (note to those who are interested in becoming an illustrator -- it helps to be able to draw action! -- How I ever got into illustration, I will never know!) So I was a bit challenged.
I ordered Poser software from Jerry's Artarama last week. I am excited to try it out and see if it helps me with this "activity" block.
I remembered taking some photos of some ballerinas from a dance school at an art fair at the Bergstrom Museum in Neenah when I was in Wisconsin a few weeks ago. I did manage complete three little paintings and got them listed in my etsy shop.
