I haven't been keeping up with my blog as well as I should.  The spa/studio was very busy over the holidays and I just didn't have time.  Long term plans are being discussed to change the inside of my facility.  Plans will include a new bathroom, new entry, new walls, new smaller windows and redesigning the entire shop so there will be more room for retail, displaying artwork, a new studio and front desk area.
I found a great source of slate shingles!  Years ago I was painting pet portraits and specialty work on slate.  When I moved, I could not take the supply of slate with me.  So, this weekend I will be starting new slate paintings that will be for sale in my shop and taking orders for commissions.  This past week I have been redoing my website.  The online "portfolio" are now in a slideshow form that looks great!  I've been working on the website all week.Upcoming Event is April..I will have a display at the Bark For Life Event April 13thNEW!  I can now take payments through PayPal Here...all credit and debit cards, as well as through the PayPal system.
