New Ideas and Art Happiness

I took yesterday off from everything except painting. I'm finishing up "Goddess of the Bees" and I must say that it has turned out very well! I'm excited about a book I bought yesterday on costumes mainly from ancient times to the 18th century. It has all kinds of details that will inspire me and is really fascinating to just look through to see all the creativity when it comes to clothes that people have used to express themselves. This Goddess series I'm working on now has lead me to think about clothing more intensely and how all the little details in our appearance are part of the way we more fully express ourselves.

I also had an inspiration about my painitngs and selling them this morning. I'm going to put all of the ones posted on my ellensgreenart.etsy.com site on sale on the fourth Saturday and Sunday of each month from now through the end of the year. They will be 50% off on those dates, which is a great savings and make them really affordable for original art. So if you're reading this and are interesting in buying any of them, they will be on sale from noon to noon on September 27-28, October 25-26, November 22-23 and December 27-28, 2008. I'll also be posting new ones all the time so there will be lots to choose from.

I'm excited about this because I really love it when people can afford to buy original art. It is an ideal situation for the art buyer and the artist.
