Knocked Down A Few Pegs

Hi all!  I had yet another productive day working on some paintings.  I was cranking out what I like to call my "quick sales."  They are unframed, smaller paintings, all costing under $100.  Check 'em out!



Lotus Flowers 1 {12x12}

 

Tree of Life 1 {12x12}

 

Tree of Life 2 {12x12}

I finished this larger painting today, too.


Flower In Motion {20x20}

I'm really happy the way it turned out.  It's so whimsical!  Loving the yellow tones.

I also heard back from the Black Swamp Arts Festival (Bowling Green, Ohio).  I didn't get in.  I wasn't dying to get into this show, but after getting acceptance emails from Shaker Heights and Mt. Gretna, I felt like I was on a roll!  I guess this rejection just puts me back in reality-- sometimes you get some, sometimes you don't.  I wasn't really that surprised (sadly enough).  I checked out the paintings I used in my submission, and I was like, "Oh Nikki, no you didn't."  They weren't that good.  Oh well!
Tomorrow is a very busy day.  I'm going to the Brooke County Animal Shelter again with Sue and Bonnie.  We are going to pick out some cats and dogs to adopt out.  I promise to bring my camera with me this time!  It's such an interesting, yet heartbreaking, experience.  I just like knowing we are saving lives by going there.  It makes me so happy to help those animals.

I'll be sure to post some pictures mid-week!

Peacing out,
Nikki
