MY FIRST BLOG AWARD

PERFECT TIMING! Friday 11.13 was my first gallery show in 12 years and on that day I was nominated for my first blog Award by Leslie of the Flowers of Life.

She called me “An insightful passionate Artist” and in IMHO that is the highest compliment that can be paid. I’d like to believe that my journey through breast cancer has made me insightful and there is no doubt that I am PASSIONATE about my art. For that fact, any ART! It’s what got me through my darkest days of chemotherapy and gave me hope that at the end of the journey there would be new life and new friends to enjoy!

The Marie-Antoinette, A Real Person, A Real Award comes with several caveats; you must:
1. Please put the Marie-Antoinette logo on your blog
2. Place a link to the person from whom you received the award
3. Nominate at least 7 or more blogs
4. Put the links of those blogs on your blog
5. Leave a message on their blogs to tell them.
Fortunately that's not hard because over the last ten years of posting on the web I've met some incredible PEOPLE. So my awards go to the nominees on my Marie Antoinette Blog list. See it on the top of the right column.

New Year ~ New Promises

Being a right-brainer I sometimes forget how important self-promotion is. I tend to think that since I'm making art, people will obviously find me. I keep forgetting that if they don't have your addresss they can't locate you in a sea of billions of others. It must be my "god complex" acting up. I tend to think that the world revolves around me but of course it doesn't, does it? Or does it? :)


I was so pleased to start the New Year off with this great award:


I'm a Diva Queen AGAIN! The last piece that won this award was this little sweetie:



So do you think you can spot a style change? I'm finally painting from my heart instead of from a place where I think that others will bid and buy. I've re-vamped this blog, and my Etsy shop and make a promise to myself to blog every day!
