This morning I awoke elated. As a stay at home mom my dedication has been to my children. To their care, and to taking care of those needs. I drew and painted when I could - but it was sporadic, and my collection of finished pieces is eclectic to say the least lol. However my youngest child is about to start school in the fall - something I've waited for not necessarily impatiently - but with anticipation. I will have two hours to call my own, to create as I feel - and to truly find out what I can do. Today that desire to become a known artist (I'm not aiming for fame - but to sell artwork you have to get your name out there) was affirmed. I stopped at a coffee shop to see what it was like and they are currently accepting artwork from local artist, and they offered to take a look at what I've done. It's got a heavy red, yellow, and dark wood feel to it so the artwork I bring in should be either complementary and blend in or stand out in a way that's not garish but doesn't blend in. I have a few pieces in mind - but I think my belly dancer is officially mine :)
