November 18, 06... Holiday season is kicking in, so if you want your photos edited for those gift items..like mugs or t-shirt, or a digital painting now's the time to contact me. The Christmas cards are selling pretty good, so thanks a bunch to those who bought them :) I thought I'd mention too that my artwork will be in a wildlife calendar. Pretty cool eh? I was happy about it. The calendar are a day to day page style and cost $18.90 plus shipping if anyone is interested. That's it for now.. Have a Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! October 07, 06... Time seems to be something there is never enough of. A lot has happened since I last wrote but I'll keep it brief. My Dad died on Sept. 23..sighh..on October 2nd I hung 13 of my artworks up at Cool Beans Coffee Pub for my very first art show. I am dedicating it to my Dad. ...and I have my artwork at Baker Bobs, the Christian Store and The Double Barrel restaurant....also, I got to do some traveling with my sister in-law and we went to my daughters graduation in Virginia, where she graduated from one of the IT Tech colleges for graphics and multimedia. We had a good time and I am very proud of her. I also got to spend time with my son as well, so I feel like a lucky mom now. :) ...but its back to work now. I added the new WIP button to the Welcome page, I mentioned before about doing this. A WIP is a work in progress and I just show you the different stages of some of my digital paintings. I also have tons of new artwork on my Artwanted site., so please check it out. I have 3 Christmas card designs for sale also. If you are interested, please email me. ...Thank you for stopping at my site.. that's it for now. :) August 12, 06... Well, I guess I'm behind in this updating stuff but I have been very busy. Guess I'll have to fire the person who is suppose to update my site. oh! wait! that's me!...about that farmers market...not a good place to sell artwork. Now if I would have had veggies or baked goods, I would have made a killing. All I sold was a few cards, so no more FM for me. My next attempt at fame and fortune was the fair. I entered 6 artworks and didn't win anything. I was cool with that though because I entered the big-wig division and some of the artwork was so very awesome! If I would have won over them, I would have become very suspicious and wondered who my aunts were getting friendly with. :) I was once again the only digital artist though, but the fair is going to have a digital art division next year. Yes! :) ...I entered 2 paintings into a digital painting contest from an online magazine called Digital ImageMaker. I made the runners up list but didn't win. If you want to see my entry its at the bottom of this page..Click Here. ........I have artwork downtown now at a place called Baker Bobs. Yeah I know, donuts and artwork don't mix...but there's always hope, right? I have my Saint Francis print with the Prayer of Saint Francis on it for sale at the Montana Church Store. It's a limited edition print and I will only sell 250 of them with the prayer on it. If you are interested in one, please email me for details. I have another art show lined up soon at a coffee pub called Cool Beans...more on that later. :) ..Anyway, I've added some new link buttons to my Welcome page and I have deleted the My Gallery and Guest Gallery pages. The artwork from my gallery is now on my ArtWanted site. I think that's it for now. Just remember that Christmas is coming up sooner then you think, so if you want custom cards and/or artwork done for print or gift items..need restoration work done or want a digital portrait painted, now's the time to ask. Sometimes these things take awhile to do. Thanks to all who read this and visit my site.....that's it for now :) June 22, 06... I have added a new pages off the Before & After page, that shows more examples of the photo jobs I do. June 21, 06...Hello again..I've added some new things to My Gallery and to smkGreeting Cards, along with new art at ArtWanted as well. I've been busy getting ready to do the farmers market, which I've never done one, so it should be interesting. :) Have a few other plans rolling around inside my head as well, but nothing to report just yet. ..its late so that's my report for now...but tomorrow is my daughters birthday, so happy birthday Gina :) May 30, 06...Hello
:) here I am again with a fast entry. My WIP has an update
in it but it's still a WIP for now. I added a new page off
or the Before and After page with a new
example of a restored photo. I don't know
who the kids were but they were a good looking group. May 6, 06...Posting a new idea here..they will be my WIP's work in progress..I will make a place for them later, but for now here is my first WIP. May 5, 06...Hello
again :) Ok, this week we added a few new arts to
MyGallery. smkStore has a new framed print for
sale...Montana Mudhole... The framed work is a one time only sale, so get it
while you can. April 25, 06...Not too much going on here in the smk world. I did just finish some classes that I enjoyed a lot. I added a few new artworks to my ArtWanted site. The Before & After page has some new examples from a couple of my latest jobs. There is also a few new artworks added to My Gallery. I am working on a few projects but nothing I can show just yet...I'll keep you posted though. March 09, 06...
Time for another update. As always I have been busy..I have a new
page!! called February 12, 06... And the progress continues. The smkStore now has some new changes with even more to come later. I also have another site now open at ArtWanted.com/smkstudio where you will find more print size options, then what I offer in the smkStore and more gift item options to begin in March. I am really excited about all these new changes. I hope everyone will check out both the smkStore and ArtWanted.com/smkstudio. The Welcome page has a new look, new links have been added to Resources and of course there is new artwork in My Gallery too! Yes!, I have been busy and Yes! the world needs more chocolate!..bfn :) January 29, 06... I'm in the middle of doing some updates to this site, so if you see things messed up or missing, that's cuz they are! But while you are waiting for all these changes to come about, please look at My Gallery because I have added a few more new artworks. I am considering adding portrait painting to the list of other services I already do, so I have put a few in there for show. I am also extending my smkStore soon so watch for those changes as well. I'll keep things posted as they happen. ..ok! back to work! January 05, 06... HAPPY NEW YEAR! Can you believe how fast last year went? They say time flies when you're having fun. I must have had a blast! I am headed into my second year for this business. I have some things to add soon, I'm just waiting on a few other things first. I'm starting a class for digital painting with my Painter IX. I have been doing a few paintings with it but I'm not even close to being good. Some of the artwork done in that program is totally awesome! And I'm taking an advanced class for this web paging "stuff", so maybe this site will sing and dance a little better then it has. ...Oh hey! got the new computer all set up too. It still has a few quirks to iron out but you should see how bright and beautiful my website is on this 21 inch flat monitor. I'm pretty good at this web designing thing, if I must say so myself! :) .... Thanks to all who say they stop here and read my ramblings..it is much appreciated. Thanks so much to all the people who put their faith in me and let me do their photo editing and various graphic jobs last year. I hope we can do business again. :) Have a Great 2006 Everyone!
