No photos today...  I have posted on Instagram and Facebook, which is my daily routine - along with updating my website.  

Today I thought I would write about where I am as an artist...   I am faced with a life change - a bit of a crisis for me - a sudden retirement from the seasonal retail industry.  While the change from retail to becoming a full time artist is putting a smile on my face - it is scary at the same time.  My retail outlet had a small gallery attached which allowed me to showcase and sell my original art, along with limited edition prints and art cards.  I was dabbling at the online side of the art business and now it is time to pay the piper.  Another reality is that I am not tech savvy.  

I am a believer that doors will open at the time when you are ready for them - but the online business is frustrating.  At every turn someone is promising to make you an online success simply by following their strategies.  I have looked into a few of them only to be bombarded - and I mean bombarded - through emails, facebook ads, and instagram posts...  It is mind boggling.  

I will keep searching and working at it...  Does anyone out there have any insight?
