So many roads, so many trains to ride!


As I am staring at my studio space here and listening to some blues music, a song came on and just struck a cord. That song was "So many roads, So many trains to ride!" I have been contemplating all night which one of my areas of art was needing to be worked on first. I know that I have a number of paintings that are needing to get done by this November, but also realize that I need to revamp my children's illustration portfolio for a conference that is coming up in three weeks. And then, I was realizing that my paperwork was starting to get out of hand as well. The good thing is that some of my promotional material had come in with my business cards, a small postcard and an oversized postcard of my painting titled "Superstition Mountain". I had been needing to get some new postcards out there to hand out that had my new information on there and have decided to only have my cell phone number instead of address so that I can use them even if I move. People can still get my full address on the web, so I think this will work out even better. Out of the two postcards, I definitely think that the oversized one looks the best cause it can show the detail of the painting more. But as with everything, bigger means more expensive. Well worth the investment though. I am already thinking I might order some more to have on hand. So with all that thought and no work, I will be off to work on my painting tonight. Maybe tomorrow I will get to the illustration work.

Nice postcards!

I know I have a lot of work to do and could benefit from a weekend to myself with just my thoughts so that I could make an action plan myself.

Glad you like the postcards Cynthia. It is hard sometimes to take the time to do the things that should be done, but it is definitely worth the time and effort when you do.

Thanks for the reminder Shawn. I have a little show coming up in a few weeks. I really should make a list.

Hi Janet. Good luck with getting your list done. I know it is something that can easily slip the mind.
