As of yesterday, July 8th 2020, I sold my artwork for the first time formally. And for a not insignificant amount of money. I feel like a new woman. And within the past few days I’ve already gained so much information regarding how art transactions work, and pretty soon I’ll be packaging and shipping my art for the first time ever! Words can’t express how happy I am and being able to potentially live off my art makes me even more excited to keep producing it. It’s affirming that people enjoy what I make enough to want to purchase and put it up in their homes. People had shown interest before but I was too scared and unsure of what to do. I no longer have those inhibitions, you can only learn by doing and I’ve had some awesome people provide tons of guidance. There’s no reason to be timid anymore. Now I suppose it really is Cancer season! 🦀
I also wanted to share some birthday flowers I received a few days ago from my dear Annie 🐇
She knows I love blue! 💙
This is the first time I’ve ever gotten flowers delivered to my home! I love it! They’re still blooming and unfurling but it’s wonderful having fresh flowers to look over at every day on my desk.
These are composed of delphinium and limonium. Gorgeous! 🥰
I’ve been feeling wonderful the past week and I hope the momentum continues. I have a clean and mostly organized bedroom, my artwork is going to a good home, I made real money off of my art, and I can put some of that away to re-invest in my practice! I made my first big girl purchase (as in, with my own money) and got an ergonomic chair for my desk so I can work more efficiently and improve the issues I have with my back and posture. This feels like real adult hours now.
I’ve even written up spreadsheets! I never thought that was a skill I’d need to utilize!
So grateful and excited for now as well as what is to come~
