Lots of updates!

Well a big "Hello" to all, and to anyone who might have been checking my blog... I'm apologize for such long absence. Things as they say, have a way of changing. Someone told me last December, that 2011 would be a year of changes, and boy howdy were they right.




With the school year over, at the end of June I went to Northwestern Univerisity to take a course in forensic drawing with Lois Gibson. I met Lois in November of 2010, at the TAEA convention in Austin. She was so enthusiastic about her profession and I knew that it was something that I would be able to successfully do right away. Now to work on my portfolio and 'wedge' my foot into some doors. :-)
While I know the job market can be tough for someone with my skill set; I am very hopeful that the perfect jobs and opportunities will come my way if I keep preparing myself and continue to network. I genuinely love all things art, and I hope that shows in my work.



I'm trying to build up some attention for my work on my facebook page, and my etsy shop so please if you haven't already stop by and "like" my facebook artist's page and suggest it to friends.




Also, pretty please, stop by and 'heart' my Etsy Shop!

** I have plans to have a showing of my paintings in town at the end of September. More information to follow.

I am almost done updating my website at www. mistypoe.com ! This has been a wonderfully busy month for me creatively. I've sold THREE paintings! (yay!) The universe is giving me what I've been asking for in all areas of my life. Even if it has been oftentimes painful going through the process of change, I can tell I am on the right track. Bring on the prosperity, I welcome it! And please check out my website! <3 - Misty

Another new painting added to my Etsy shop.

Four Paintings

Just added three paintings to my Etsy shop! Check them out. :)

Pretty Flowers and Camera Fun!

There is nothing quite like spending time cleaning up and planting a garden. I love it. Today, I picked up a little color, and some herbs to tuck into my little garden. First, I have to weed it, and add some fresh soil. I hope to get some pics of my hard work up later this week.

For now, here are some pics of a lovely and sweet bouquet of roses I was given yesterday. (love them)

I'm also going to have to get my little water gardens in order since it is warming up. Yay for spring! :)

Inspiration... It's a good thing.

My first self-portrait this year.
