Painting today

I am painting today and tomorrow, hope to get my commissions well on the way.

Back into Blogging!

Have to get back into doing some blogging, like I am getting back into painting. I have been busy today doing some drawing for a couple of commissions I have to fulfill. Both for the same lady and are roses. Tomorrow I can get into painting them.

Had a good week with 4 sales of my watercolour prints on www.madeit.com.au/susanmossart, they are going to a lady in Queensland.

Also have got my website for my photo cards on the way www.madeit.com.au/susanmossphotocards I have had a sale and my wholesale is going well with two good sales in the last two weeks.

Exciting day for me

Today I was able to pick up the invitations for the Watercolour Society of WA Annual Awards Exhibtion which is being held at the Fremantle Italian Club from Oct 8 - 11. Exciting for me because my painting of camellias "Pink Radiance" is featured on the invitation.

Tomorrow I will start work of one of the two paintings that I still have to do for the exhibtion, have to get cracking and get them done. I have frames that I am recycling so don't have the pressure of having to get them framed.

I picked up the painting of the camellias from the framer today, my sister in law has already bought it so I will be taking her cheque to the exhibition and with a red sticker on the painting.

Starting again

I am just starting to get back into painting again! I have two paintings to do for the coming Watercolour Society of WA Annual Awards Exhibition in early October, so have to get busy. What is very exciting for me is that my painting "Pink Radiance" is on the official invitation for the exhibition. I will be able to get one in the next couple of days so will put a scan of it on my blog as soon as I can.

My Mum

I haven't been very active lately, tried doing some painting but it just wasn't working. My Mum aged 93 was in hospital for two and a half weeks and sadly she passed away a couple of days ago. Mum had been in a lot of pain, which even strong pain killers didn't help and they couldn't resolve what was causing it. In the end her organs gave up. Mum said she had had a good life and it was time to go.

My brother came from New York, but sadly didn't get here in time, but it is lovely having him here and helping my sister and the rest of the family get closure. We are having a family memorial service this afternoon.

It is hard to believe that Mum has gone, we have had so many close calls, but this has been final one.

Yippee a sale

Lovely news this morning - a sale of a print of my iris "Spring Rhapsody". A great way to start the day.
