SOLD ON ETSY

One of my resolutions for New Years included selling artwork online. So far, ETSY (for the Arts & Crafts crowd) has worked out very well. It's simple to navigate, user friendly, and the fees are reasonable.

I'm also considering setting up an ebay store for auctions since I love, Love, LOVE ebay and the many items I've purchased and sold there. There'll be some teetering back and forth, and after some research -I'll make my decision.

Fish are always, always, moving and that was one of the major challenges in dealing with them as a painting subject. Even a sleeping fish has gentle movement. Those rippling fins and gills -are floating up and over or out and away...and that's when the little bugger isn't flat-out zipping around the tank. The solution I came to included movement with plants (when I could) and motion with water (when I couldn't) -Successful? It's up to you kids.

2008 GOLDFISH SERIES

I'm not a big fan of lengthy titles-but I chose "Red Ranchu Goldfish with Nana Plant" -since I used a 'Red Ranchu' Goldfish and the 'Nana' Plant as visual references.
