Over a Billion Websites!

Yesterday I attended a short workshop presented by the Creston Arts Council. The primary aim was to have members put together a profile for the Council's web page but the instructor also touched on various social media and individual websites.

The profile section is still a work in progress but a number of us have started our profiles and when the web-master has finished tweaking I think it will be a great place to check out the arts in the Creston Valley. Check out My Profile

I can't say that I am convinced about the usefulness of web pages, blogs and social media sites for promoting art but one has to try something! Bob and I were talking about the problem and he decided to check the numbers. There are over a billion web pages! And when you add in blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc. etc. etc. All I can say is WOW!

How does one little needle (my web page, for instance) get noticed in such an overwhelming haystack? My Web page

I will continue to do what I do and share with the world in the same way AND each time I learn a new way to promote my art I will try that too. Mellowood Studio on Amazon

Now, on to the art!

#945 Down the Road

I have decide to try doing a few vignettes as I really like the 'unfinished' look. I think vignettes leave the viewer open to speculating and wondering, which can be a good thing - lol. 'Down the Road' is a 7 x 10 watercolour.

#944 The Chill of Winter

'The Chill of Winter' is a 7 x 10 watercolour as well. This is a favourite size as it is an 1/8 of a sheet of watercolour paper and frames up nicely to 11 x 14.

Best wishes to everyone on this first day of Spring - may flowers bloom in your gardens and joy in your hearts!
