News and Nibblefest (NFAC) entry

Hi, folks.  I know it's been a while, but I hope everyone is doing well.  My family and I are fine.  

In art news, I sold "Night Bird" on eBay in December! It was a 5x7 matted to 8x10 inches watercolor that I entered in the SVWS show in September. Surprised me, since I've only sold ACEOs on eBay before.  I did not submit any entries in March for the VMRC show in May-June.  I have been listing my art on eBay and Etsy.

Here is my entry in this month's Nibblefest (NFAC) contest.  It is an older piece but fits the category of cosmic blues.  Bidding starts at 99 cents.

Happy Thanksgiving, Art News and Cybersale

Hi, folks,

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!   I spent mine at home with my husband and daughter.

I want to try to get back into posting to this blog.  Art wise, since my last post, I entered one watercolor pencil painting and two watercolor paintings in the Shenandoah Valley Watercolor Society (SVWS) water media show, which ran from September 6th to November 7th at Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community (VMRC).  Because of covid, the show was not open to the public at large and entries were limited to allow for hanging that would make for social distancing when residents viewed the art.  The show was posted online at the SVWS website (go to the link above) for the public to view.  A video about the show was also done by group leaders and posted to VMRC's video site on vimeo.  Click here to view the video (my segment starts at 10:32).  I didn't win any awards or sell any of my pieces, but you can view them on the SVWS website.  They are titled "Mountain Summer," "Night Bird," and "Shadow Dragon."

I have sold some art on Etsy and eBay.  I sold a 5x7 inch digital print in July on Etsy.  I also sold one original aceo drawing and two aceo prints on eBay in October.  

I posted "Mountain Summer," "Night Bird," and "Shadow Dragon" (which is an aceo) on Etsy and eBay.  I am currently running a cybersale in both my shops.  Click on the links in the "About Me" section of the sidebar if you want to view all the above art and other art I have for sale on both sites.

I hope by September of next year, we won't have to worry about covid anymore.  So many things have been cancelled due to the virus.  The next art show I may try to enter is one at VMRC in May-June.  The deadline for entries is March 15th.  It may or may not be run depending on the virus and vaccine situations.  We shall see.

Well, that's it for now.  Thanks for reading and stay safe.

 

NFAC Contest Entry for May and Assorted

Long time no post here.  I hope everyone is well and not going too crazy at the restrictions due to Covid-19.  I and my family are well, but the restrictions have been stressful.  In news, I'm no longer working for Walmart or working outside the home.

I entered some of my watercolors in some local art shows in the last year.  I didn't win any awards but sold a painting in the last SVWS show, which ran from September 8 to November 2, 2019.  I also entered three pieces in the VECCA show in Woodstock which ran from November 15, 2019 to January 10, 2020.  I didn't win any awards or sell anything there.  I did win a first and second place for art pieces at the Rockingham County Fair in August 2019.  I tried to get two artworks into the juried VMRC Art Show in March 2019, but my art was not selected.

I also planned to enter my art in and attend the local Madicon science fiction convention March 13-15, 2020, but it was cancelled due to the coronavirus.

I have sold some ACEOs on eBay and Etsy.

Below is my entry in the Nibblefest Art Contest, a themed art contest beginning on the 20th of each month.  This month's theme is Winged Creatures.  Please be sure to search NFAC for more great entries, each starting at just $.99.
