Many of you know that I paint, but recently I had my first sales of several watercolors I painted! The buyer is a friend who recently opened an ayurvedic bodywork center in Raleigh. She had been seeking arts to adorn her new space and saw my “leaf” paintings when visiting my home. When she first called and asked if she could purchase some of my work, I was speechless for a moment. No one had ever approached me with that question before since I had never intended to sell my art. When I said yes and hung up the phone, I got excited – and in a matter of days painted 10 paintings for her to choose from. It was such a joy to be painting with renewed gusto. Having a request for them, and knowing they would be displayed for others to see – and not just when they come for dinner – was great inspiration. It was also absolutely out of my comfort zone!

Congratulations. It seems we have a lot in common (first “life balance” and now painting). For the first time ever, my artwork will be displayed in an art exhibit next week. No one is buying my work (yet) but I can relate to your excitement. Be still with the joy and have fun painting.
Oh what a good feeling to have someone want your work and paying for it is such a nice bonus. I hope you’re celebrating this in some tangible way.
Stefanie,
There are plenty of people and coaches out there who give advice and are the last to implement it in their own life.
I am so glad that you are my coach. You truly walk the walk and talk the talk.

How awesome!
If you haven’t thought of this already, you may want to have your artwork on display at local salons, restaurants etc for sale. Free artwork for the business and a potential sale for you.
Your work looks beautiful!
Congratulations, Stefanie! I am so happy for your personal triumph, unexpected as it may be! Really beautiful painting, BTW. You have wetted my pallet (no pun intended)! Catherine, Japan
