Thank you. <br /><br />I setup a shop on Etsy mostly for the additional web exposure. It will be a bonus if it actually becomes profitable! I priced everything lower because there is no 40 - 50% gallery overhead however I do feel that the cost to do business with paypal, credit card fees and Etsy fees is equivalent to paying a low gallery fee, I guess the only way to avoid that is to do everything independently, a reason I continue to do the Paradise City Fine Arts shows.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-61811738174692532232012-05-26T10:52:14.162-04:002012-05-26T10:52:14.162-04:00Robin, you are so fortunate to have such a nice pl...Robin, you are so fortunate to have such a nice place at home to teach. I always wanted to do that, but never had the courage to follow through. Love your landscape as usual. Lots of visual texture.<br />I visited your new Etsy store and bought one of your bookmarks to help you launch it. I opened a store, but never followed through with putting anything in it. Typical of me. I don't think too many people make a lot on Etsy. It's like anything else you have to have a following and advertize, advertize, advertize. That's why we pay such hefty fees to galleries.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566258201228886795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-79604536320589143272012-05-26T09:47:38.864-04:002012-05-26T09:47:38.864-04:00Good luck tomorrow, I am sure everyone will enjoy ...Good luck tomorrow, I am sure everyone will enjoy the opportunity to paint with you at your home.

I'm doing a silk painting workshop for a couple of people on Sunday and I'm excited to see how that goes to decide if I want to do more. <br /><br />Your garage is so clean and organized. : ) I'm jealous!Nancy Goldmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08957674798737272474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-3860672652271202172012-05-18T06:56:04.003-04:002012-05-18T06:56:04.003-04:00"Beginnings" is perfect, looks like I wi..."Beginnings" is perfect, looks like I will be teaching a watercolor workshop next.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-30546483945913922932012-05-18T03:14:06.574-04:002012-05-18T03:14:06.574-04:00You took a big ol' bowl of lemons and turned t...You took a big ol' bowl of lemons and turned them into delicious lemonade!

In the past students have asked if I would do it but up until now I wasn't comfortable with the idea. Using the garage space actually worked out beautifully and I will be able to make adjustments and improvements each time I do this.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-39273399309627403932012-05-13T08:06:49.571-04:002012-05-13T08:06:49.571-04:00Oh this piece you turned out is just exquisite!
