I have been having so much fun playing with Studio Artist! But I decided I.better use a different base image to keep you interested. This is from the “Water and Earth” shown in this post here. These colors still aren’t my usual colors I tend to paint in (but they are somewhat closer than the colors I have been using) … but I think it is good I am stretching myself. Also you have all been part of my making more complex digital paintings and I think that is a really good thing. It also feels great to be thinking of names each time I create a painting rather than a daunting task of coming up with lots of names at once.

Last night and today I worked on setting up 2 CafePress shops. I think I am going to have to go to the pro version to make marketing these shops manageable. They are …. cafepress.com/dianeclancy where right now there are some items with “Conundrum” on them. I also made a shop of http://cafepress.com/fancifulanimals where so far I am selling “Bambi with Butterflies.” It sure has taken me a lot of work to get these things set up and understand how to do it.

And I followed Sue O’Kieffe’s advice and set up a Xanga place xanga.com/DianeClancy. And I did the Facebook that Chris O’Byrne suggested I join. But so far I am totally lost there and at those other big ones … they will have to wait.

But it is kind of exciting that I feel I am making some real progress on figuring how to connect up to go to another level. Thank you again for the help everyone has been here. I hope all is well with each of you.
