Web site is finished!
My new web site. Check it out!
Today I put together a long-term web site where I can post my galleries. A blog is a blog and a web site is a web site. Blogs have increasingly been used as web sites. I think they will do in a pinch, but I like having a web site.
Anyway, I used iWeb, Macintosh’s (Go Mac!) web site builder. I can build a site from scratch, but using Mac’s templates is so brain dead simple, I couldn’t help myself.
I think it turned out well. You can see it at www.ShaunEllsworth.com. I know, who gets their name as a domain name, right? Well, I figured as a professional artist, I am my brand, so why not.
I love your blog! I congratulate you on getting to work on what you love doing most — creating art.
I wish I had the time to do art work and sell it! My paint studio is in a plastic box under the stairs of our home. I have blog, but since my shoulder incident in April, I haven’t been able to keep writing on it like I should. When I make a comment, I’ll start sending it your way.
I love to paint seascapes and landscapes — what I mean is that I kind of know how to do them — my preference is ‘Realism’ Art. I don’t draw well, but my favorite medium is oil painting on canvas.
I would love to learn to paint flowers and buildings, especially Temples.
I should make a goal of painting so many paintings in a certain amount of time.
I really like your one painting, I don’t know what it’s called — it looks like a ‘rose on stained glass’. I’m not a real fan of modern art, unless I know what it is I’m looking at. You’ll have to teach me.
I would love it, if you could give me some lessons on line. I could pay you! What would you charge. Let’s visit about it!
Love,
Aunt Christy
How much for your Mother and Child Painting?
How much for your Solitude Painting?
Why not make your own canvas by stretching on to sturdy frames and then painting the sides of the canvas — hence no need for a frame?
I’m glad my sister sent me your info! I’m thinking of putting a ‘little’ studio in an extra bathroom that we hardly use. It has perfect natural light in there. We’ll see!
Love,
Aunt Christy
I will get those prices and dimensions out to you asap. Thanks for your interest.
Thanks for the canvas idea. I already wrote you more about it in another email. I don’t know how this blog/post/comment/reply thing works yet.
Let me know how your art studio goes.
I have found a place, at least while the weather isn’t too drastic, to set up a small paint studio. It is in our new shed and has a counter. Of course, I have to unlock 3 locks and put down the ramp to go inside.
I have oil painted on one canvas. It is of Echinaceas and Lavender flowers so far. I’m debating if I ought to add some white daisies to brighten it up more. Maybe I’ll take a picture of it and put it on my blog.
Sounds great. Do the winters get pretty cold there? As for the daisies, follow your heart. It knows even if your conscious mind doesn’t. If I ever feel a leaning one way or the other, I follow it.
