On Sunday I received an email from eBay that said "Congratulations for your 7 year anniversary with us"... that light a bulb: Although I moved on from eBay to Etsy some time ago, I've been selling my art online for 7 years now!!!!
(This is by far the longest I've ever lasted in a job!)
(This is by far the longest I've ever lasted in a job!)
It's amazing how fast time goes and how ones improves in that period of time. I found this image from the vault, it was one of the first paintings I made, very saturated colors, very dark lines, very me at that time. I remember the walls in my house were painted orange, bright pink, yellow and blue... very much like this painting. And she's alone, enjoying her coffee... I didn't have kids at that time.
And this is a recent painting, same theme, very different execution. Necks have gotten shorter and heads have grown larger. And she's not alone now (there are 3 birds with her: my husband, my daughter and my son).
I'm so happy and thankful right now for being be able to continue to do what I love most: create. To have people who supports what I do and enjoy it. To share a piece of myself with the world. To be able to stay home with my kids while I also get to work in the thing that I'm most passionate about. To wake up every day surrounded by the things I love.
For those past 7 years, and the many more to come:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
