With the end of 2008 comes a bit of reflection and a bit of planning for 2009. This past year, I have ventured into a variety of new things. I did my first indoor art fair and also my first outdoor art fair. Together my husband and I have done several art fairs this summer. I joined the North East Watercolor Society. I joined the Old Forge Arts Center in the Adirondacks. My husband and I opened up an
Etsy Shop together and I have sold a bunch of paintings through Etsy. I am hoping for my paintings to begin selling more regularly and I hope a few of my husbands paintings sell as well. I have started to twitter and also blog. I have made new friends and contacts on Etsy, through the Etsy Teams such as
Watercolor Works,
ACETSY and my husband has joined the
CRNY Team. I have also redesigned my own website at
RASquier.com and will most likely redesign it again in 2009.
I enjoy blogging. My hopes and plans for my blog in 2009 are to include weekly features. Once a week I would like to feature a watercolor painting technique with a few how to steps. I would also like to feature other watercolor artists with blogs and/or Etsy Shops. Help spread the joys of watercolor painting.
This morning, I opened my email and was delighted to find a note including a picture of one of my paintings. It warms my heart to see how someone has taken a piece of my art, matted and framed it and hung it proudly in their home and to top it off shares a picture of it with me. I love it!
In 2008, I started a new adventure in finding ways to promote my art and in 2009 I will continue on that path to see where it brings me. Let's hope for the best!
