It seems my new blog is not popular with my children. They weren't happy with their picture. Soon I will post new pictures of them. But for now, I've decided to concentrate this blog on my life since leaving the mortgage business as a loan processor. It's taken time to adjust.
I worked at a mortgage company from Nov 1989 to Sept 2007. When I started out I was learning to paint with watercolors from a friend I met at the Welcome Wagon meetings about 1988. The busier I got at work the less I painted. Now I'm trying to relearn what I've forgotten.
Larry has been encouraging. He restarted my interest by saying "Look what is for sale on EBAY!". He buys and sells cameras and lenses. So I took a look and now I'm ready to have my first auction. I'm focusing on what is called ACEO art. The baseball size card paintings seem to be popular sales on EBAY.
Painting these miniatures is challenging and hopefully it will get easier. Here's a picture of the first auction item. I won't be disappointed if it does not sell. I'll get to keep it! Of course I had to bid on several auctions by other artists. I now have 7 new paintings which need to be matted and framed. I have to learn how to do that to keep costs down. Larry just laughs. He's happy I'm painting again.
