Updated Website and New Paintings

I'm so happy! I finally figured out how to update the "gallery" page on my website to show more of my paintings. My web designer seemed to think this would be an easy thing for me to do. Not so much. But I figured it out. Check out the new look of cammydavis.com.

I also just finished a few paintings and uploaded them to etsy. Nice to have some new work to post. I've been so busy with Gramma that it's been hard to find time for my art. Hopefully things will mellow out and I can refocus. I guess that's part of being a starving artist, doing what I need to in order to survive.

My Website

I spent most of today working on the gallery page of my website. Well, more like figuring out what I want it to look like, I don't do the technical stuff. I try, but usually get nowhere. :( This is how I hope it looks when finished.

I also worked on clearing out Gramma's garage to turn into my art studio. Sneeze. Tons of dust bunnies! I can't wait to get it set up and get creative again. I am used to sitting in my living room and painting but I don't want to put gramma's house through that, so am chomping at the bit to get to work.

Photoshop

Today was frustrating, although I should feel happy that I accomplished quite a few things. I purchased photoshop a while ago and have been afraid to try and teach myself how to use the program. I finally jumped on it today and muddled my way through a few things. My photographs already look better! I also figured out how to work with the layers function a little bit. You'll notice on my banner I have my name layered on top of the photograph.

The best thing I did today was hired my teenager to help me with my computer struggles. She quickly added links to my blog, something which I worked on for a few hours and never figured out. She also started a website for me. I had registered the domain of cammydavis.com, but that's as far as I got. She's started creating the website, so hopefully that will follow soon.

I'm ready to put some time into my actual art rather than trying to figure out how to become computer literate and market myself. I'm a creative person, the business side will always be the struggle for me!
