My Boys bring so much JOY into my life!
They filled my heart with love over the holidays by coming home for a short visit.
COURAGE to start promoting my love for illustrating.
This year I will be focusing on two words, JOY and COURAGE.
I'm a pretty up beat person for the most part but depression likes to pay a visit more than I care to admit. It makes me doubt my talent and tends to hold me captive at home.
This year I will spend more time with friends and family and enjoy every minute, along with getting out there promoting my talent and selling my work!
Stop over to Creative Tuesday's to see what words the other artists have chosen.

Karen - I've been following your blog for a while now. I LOVE it! How do you get started promoting your artwork? I'm very interested in trying to sell my designs but I don't know how to get started.
ReplyDeleteThanks for any help or information you might give me.

ReplyDeleteWhat you're saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand. I'm sure you'll reach so many people with what you've got to say.
