Artistic frenzy

I went into this artistic frenzy these past few weeks with my pastels on Bristol paper. The internal frustration with myself as I struggle to figure things out came out in the pastel drawings.  I even went out and bought matting for them. Now that I have loaded my office/studio space with all this artwork I need to figure out what to do with them since I am literally running out of space to store anything. I still have 5 more to get the matted frames for, once those are done I will post them as well..  It's kind of funny, as you walk in you see a desk full of real estate paperwork on it, and around it, and immediately to the left, across the floor, walls and closet it's full of artwork and art supplies...
I can tidy up the desk, but I really need to sell the artwork.  I applied at a local coffee shop to show my artwork in April, but I received no response.  I suppose it's for the best.  Maybe I can figure out how to use the gadgets on the blog to create a page with paypal buttons.

On another note, I went and showed a property yesterday that I call the "Enchanted House". It felt like it was straight out of a fairy tale. I knew it was beautiful from the pictures online, but it was so much more beautiful in person, and it was 4403 square feet HUGE! The lot was beautiful as well, with trees that gave privacy from the neighbors.  It's located in the small city of Garden Ridge, Texas, and sits in a gated community.  I'm not sure who was more excited to be there, me or the prospective buyers!

Take a look for yourself!  21298 Las Cimas Dr.

So if you want to move to Texas and want a beautiful home for a fraction of the price it would cost in New York...hint, hint. my New York friends. Call me!!!

2018 and resolutions/goals

So we either make, or not make resolutions for new year.  Set up for failure, or goal setting. This year I decided that I was going to set some goals.

First on the list : Get off the coach and join the gym. I really have no option at this point in my life since I kind of feel like jello.  I need gain some strength and muscle tone in my body, so my body doesn't turn on me.

Second goal: Get my marketing and socializing in order to prospect some clients for my new Real Estate career.  It's been very hard getting out there and getting to know people.  My original goal when I got my license out from the state in late August was to have 2 clients under contract by the end of October. I thought that was doable, but that did not happen. In those short months I did meet some great people by doing open houses, and hopefully I can work with some of them them in the future.  I feel it in my bones that I can be a great Realtor, I just need the chance to be around more people.  That is one goal that I really need to work hard on for the results I desire.

Third: One thing that I know for sure that is good for my mind and soul, is creating art. So my third and final goal for 2018 is to create more art and participate in some local art shows, instead of having all my artwork fill up my studio/office space.

The three goals I have set for myself are HUGE to me.  I wish that whoever reads this and has set goals for 2018 reaches them all, just like I wish it for myself!  Happy New Year!


The 5 pieces are ready to hang for a show:

Each of these vary in size anywhere between 7"x 10" to 12"x12"

I really enjoyed making these pieces!
