Today's paintings include a new composition, Spring Cherry Blossoms, and the newest painting in the Abstract Poppies series. The cherry tree in my back yard is almost in full bloom, and I can't wait until it really pops. It's been getting quite warm here lately. My husband had to put his brush and palette down to mow the lawn today. He's learning a lot and three of his paintings have already sold! I'm grateful that we have this opportunity to work together--we really compliment each other, and work well together.

Tip of the Day
Advertising--how do you know what's working? How do you track it? Google Analytics is recommended by Etsy, and I started using it a few months ago to get more information on traffic to my web site, blog, and Etsy store, including numbers, sources, etc. The site is easy to use, they generate the code you need to plug into your web site, blog, etc.
