Ah, it's the end. Blue Nutmeg, as we know it, is over. Well, not "kaput" or anything. Oh, no. Of course not! Can you imagine me not painting???!!! Oh, goodness, no. I'm just, say, moving things around.
In January, I had very set ideas as to what I was going to paint. I usually have very set ideas. In January, I had very organized plans about how I was going to paint. I'm usually very organized. In January, I failed to realize that I was being unspontanious and un-artsy. I usually fail to realize my un-artsy-ness. (I'm not sure if that's true, but there was a theme here I couldn't break, so...)
Note: My set ideas, overorganization and un-artsy-ness are not limited to the month of January.
The point being, I decided to make all my paintings the same size. 12"x16". Now, I'm not saying that I did. I tried. The first two I kind of forgot to measure... And the latest one was downsized based on printing paper. Not everything works out, ok?
But partly because that's a lot of paper to paint, and partly because it's a lot of wall space that people may not have, I've decide to downsize to 8"x10". So, as far as marketing and all that goes, I'm "starting a new line". That's code for "I'm doing something different".
For the first one, I used a painting that I had done a year ago and added words!!! *corner cutter* Wait, what? Who said that?
It's actually one of my favorites so far. Be looking for it- I'll put it up on the website soon!
But as far as the bigger ones go, well, it has been a good era. It's been fun, but now we must say goodbye, for the time being at least. Who knows, maybe I'll resurrect it again. Kind of like Lazarus, but not. Yeah, definitly not.
