the sign with the dusty yellow stars

It's been a good week for selling paintings! The two above both sold... one at Matchbox and the other online. Painting is a lot more fun when people actually hang your paintings... or better yet... buy them. You can imagine watching them pile up in your basement is less exciting... I am fortunate enough to have sold many paintings in my little art career... but still... each time one goes out the door... i feel like there's a reason to paint more. 

I also donated 2 paintings to a benefit via my mom's work on Saturday... these two...

nevermind... i guess I don't have a photo of the canoe painting after it was finished... but here's how it looked as it was being painted...

I found an email inviting me to participate in a show next week... that somehow went to my spam box... sadly.... i might still be able to swing that last minute... and also booked a show for next spring... at a coffee shop right down the street from me.... i also have shows coming up at palmers and moxie salon this fall.... more info on those as they get closer... and don't forget... you still have a couple of weeks to check out my northeast signs at Matchbox Coffee House: 1306 2nd St. NE, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55413

Oh... and I am doing my best to update my online art store here: http://www.jenniferdsandquist.com/buy-art.html
So, check back periodically if you're in the market for some artwork... don't forget... I am always ready to take custom orders too :)
