A Better Painting Day

I had lots of paint left over from yesterday's painting "experience" so I thought I would try a different version of the solo boat painting I did last week. The colors are a bit off in the photo but I do like the painting. I promise!
I have made a lot of progress with my newsletter. I decided to create one to reach out to potential art collectors. I signed up with Constant Contact (cost is $15.00 per month) and I have to say I really like the program. It enabled me to put the newsletter sign up on my blog and website, it has a great database and the newsletter design is fun and really good quality. I have almost 300 emails in the database (I downloaded most from my outlook Contacts) and I have the draft of the first newsletter almost complete. It is very colorful and has lots of good photos. I have included two sections titled "Where to Find Good but Inexpensive Art" and "My Favorite New Artist" and I am pleased to say that both articles are about all of the wonderful artists I have met through my blog! If you want a copy, be sure to sign up. I hope to send out the inaugural copy on May 1st!

I must admit that this painting looks a lot better in person than the photograph. Oh well ... it is so hot outside and my feet were burning so I was probably a bit rushed to take the picture. I suppose I shouldn't complain as there are many of you out there trying to paint in near sub zero temperatures! The papers say it should cool down by the weekend. Which is a good thing since it was 90 degrees when I got in my car last night ... at 8:30 p.m.!
