Maybe...

 I feel like my last post sounded like a turning a corner post, but then I obviously turned too many corners and got lost again. I have managed a few paintings since 'The Guitarist' but I keep forgetting to blog about them, or in fact blog about anything. 

My website is back up and running now and almost complete. I just have the cushion and card section left to do and to sort out why it isn't currently registering as a secure site. I am worried about the cushion pages as setting them up seems impossible using the new website provider. It appears that I may need to learn some JavaScript to get them to work; Having only just about got the basics of coding together I am not looking forward to trying to figure this out! Although perhaps I will email Wix first and see if someone there can help me. 

As part of my refocus and getting back on the art horse I have just set up my photography on a secret Instagram page. For some reason I feel as though I need an art thing just for me, with no expectations, no familiarity, no judgement. Not that anyone does judge, except probably myself. So maybe that is why it needs to be lowkey to start with. It is linked up to my Fine Art America page in the hope that I might get some sales via it. Wishful thinking possibly, but I worked out I can do two posts a week for 3 years with the stock I have so I may as well try! I know some social media success comes with consistency and reminding people you exist. It is why I always sell more paintings when I am painting. Keeping things fresh is important.

In other news, I just put a new painting up for sale. I have two paintings of New York to do and there is a half finished canvas that has been sat on my floor for a week. Finishing this off will hopefully be on the agenda for next week when it is a bit cooler and hopefully my architectural drawings are complete. 

I feel like I am getting there, but boy is it slow. I have started yoga every day again, maybe I will try to blog twice a week. Maybe I will be an endless selection of maybes again. But fingers crossed this time I can actually motivate the old me into resurfacing. 

And lastly, the current thoughts are also towards a gallery showing in Maidenhead. Lots of people have shown interest and I am thinking it would be good to get my teeth into something different. I also have quite a few paintings I could show at the moment, and it might give me a kick up the backside to do some local ones which I also get asked about a lot. 

So as usual, a busy, positive blog post full of promises that may or may not materialise. 

Place your bets....
