looking for a mentor/sponser

as an artist I am great at making my art not so very good at the selling aspect of my business- I need a mentor or sponsor to show me how to market and SELL my work.....anyone out there up for the challenge?

I entered a photo contest to win a new digital camera!!

end of summer heat

I went riding early, thinking that it would be cooler to do so. Not really, I really "got my sweat on" riding the trails, so steamy and humid, I feel as tho I am in New Orleans!
I dont mind sweating, just to breathe without the humidity would be easier! LOL
I did take rest breaks in various parks,,,and watched the ducks "ducking"!

It was a good ride and I didnt get back home till early afternoon.
I hope to get some long rides in before school starts here next week, I will miss riding for sure.

philanthropy and the artist

over the past 4 yrs or more,,I have either made art for charitys to sell or donated my art for charity to sell. I have probably donated over 30 pieces of art so far.
This week Forgotten Harvest benefits from 2 of my artworks,,,they are to get two pieces donated for their upcoming fundraiser this fall! YEAH for them and for me too! Cause when I give I always feel good to know that someone out there is benefitting from my donations as well as someone else is loving my work enough to spend their money on it to buy it! The two pieces depicted below are the ones being donated!

I have said before in the past,,,you have to GIVE to GET,,,,,I know my giving nature will come back to me in 10 fold someday,,,,so for now,,,I am the giver, always helping others and one day when I need help I know I will receive it.
Everyone have a terrific day and remember,,,,,we are all one life and one love and one heart- help another in need today for someday that person may be YOU!!
