Well hello again! I did not anticipate taking that much time away from my blog! I was sick, the kids were sick and we went on a family holiday... next thing you know I have been out of touch for weeks! It is often easier for me to make quick updates and stay in touch on my Facebook page, so feel free to click on over and hit "Like"! www.facebook.com/Nicki.Ault.Studio

I'm back and I feel excited about so many things. I have spent more time at the studio in the last few days than I have spent in (what feels like) months. I feel energized, motivated, enthused and ready to go! As a result I managed to get a 36x36" canvas started, three 8x8" paintings done for Lifestyles By Darrell Bell Gallery and three 6x6's finished! I don't think I have done any 6x6" paintings since my retreat to Waskesiu last September. I have completely neglected that size and therefore neglected my Daily Paintworks Gallery, but that is going to change today! And now I have images put on the Daily Paintworks Facebook Weekend Show. I feel like I am back in business! Lots to talk about, but all in good time. For now I hope you enjoy seeing this new painting, "Overhead Inspiration".

I have decided to begin to include the PayPal "buy" link when I post my 6x6" paintings. This size makes up the majority of the paintings in my Daily Paintworks Gallery; the link will take you there to see the purchase/shipping info. Clicking on this link does not mean you are committing to the purchase of the painting- it just takes you to the spot where more information is available.

Thanks for stopping by!

Easter 2011... Not For Sissies!

I don't often make a post without some sort of art or photo, but today is an exception. In the last 5 days my kids and I have been ravaged by some devilish flu bug that took us each down one at a time. Easter in our house this year was not for sissies! I will have more art soon- I promise!

In the meantime, today, while I was housebound with my oldest in the throes of his misery, I slowly plugged my way through the not-so-clear set-up of my Facebook Fan-page! It is quite rudimentary right now- I am not finding it as easy to navigate as Blogger. It's a start. I will figure more out. I really meant to do this much sooner. You see back in the fall I came across this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: "Do one thing every day that scares you." I love that. It really inspired me. And I have- I've done some things that have pushed me out of my comfort zone- big time. However, I haven't done one scary thing a day as the quote suggests because, let's face it, that in itself is too scary! And setting up a Facebook page has been on my mind since reading that quote. It still freaks me out, but I am giving it a whirl. I'll let you know once it is really running smoothly.
