Selling my First Ever Painting :)

Today there is a bare spot on my dining room wall where this painting used to be. No, it was not stolen nor is it somehow missing and cannot be found. I in fact sold it. To a stranger. That's right, I sold my first  painting! It wasn't even to a kind friend who was just trying to make me feel good about my painting. A total stranger from South Carolina is now the owner of my humble masterpiece. I'm not gonna lie, it feels pretty nice, especially since I took a peek at her Etsy profile and browsed through some of her favorite paintings from other sellers--WOW! They were REALLY good! I am still a little awe-struck, but definitely pumped to start focusing more on my paintings! :)

  1. Hey there, I have been enjoying some browsing. Can you teach me art? drawing, ha - painting even? I never had a good art teacher in public school. I stopped drawing anything other than mazes in middle school. I drew a sketch of a teacher I had for English, obviously do not have it anymore; I'd never admit it was mine if asked. Art schools had contests - "draw this..." & I could do okay at that. The rest of my drawing has only been for Biology labs about microscopic finds.
