The Art That Had to Be
This weekend as I was putting labels on the South African Impressions textile paintings I became overwhelmed with the need to make 2 additional pieces in the series. I had been trying to ignore this desire for a few days but as things were wrapping up it didn’t feel right without a 2 of the house themes in the 6″ size. I had these in my head and they had to be made.
Sometimes art is like that, it simply insists on being made and I can’t ignore it until I’ve created the image that keeps appearing in my head.
I have about an hour of stitching left on these 2 final art quilts and then I’m back to the plan of photographing and up on the website so they can find their new owners.
Newsletter
As I’ve worked in my studio on a fairly consistent basis this past week I have noticed a profound change in my attitude. Much more positive and forward thinking. Things are definitely shifting back to the positive place where I was sitting 6 months ago.
After I get this artwork published on my website and and start contacting the buyers, I’m going to write and email out my final studio newsletter for the year.

South African Impressions – The Discount
About half of the new Dream textile paintings were prepurchased prior to my trip to South Africa.
I am still offering the discount on prepurchased South African Impressions textile paintings for about another week. The timing of my newsletter will determine the final end date of the sale.
This is a chance to own my artwork at lower prices and with payments spread out over 2 months if desired. For example: my ACEOs (2.5″ x 3.5″ art cards) normally sell for $40. The ACEOs in the Dream series are currently priced at $28. The 6″x6″ paintings (like the 2 above), normally priced at $275 are available for just 2 payments of $85 each.

I love your South African impressions – Dream 23 and 24. Don’t know how to explain what I love about them – I just do.
You are so right about being more positive after spending time in your studio – it happens to all of us. I haven’t been spending time in my studio – year end stuff – and now I find I am really battling – need to force myself back into my studio.
