NECESSARY UPHEAVALS OF A NEW COMPUTER



Last week my old laptop was on its last legs, so I decided to change my life for a bit and get a new one.  I ended up with a refurbished tower, and have been adding things to it ever since.  This is awesome in a way, but very demanding of my time and life also.  I went from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and that came with changing my photo storage system as well.  WOW! I have been slipping away from it for moments at a time to re-work a painting I've never loved and adding some splash to another one I love but I think I can do better...It makes for a bit of upheaval for sure.

The video above is of the tweaking to a painting from a few years ago that always bugged me.  I LOVE parts of it, but other parts, YUCK.  I'm still editing this version, but thought I'd play with a video here.


I'm learning a lot about switching to a new system.  It isn't all rainbows and kittens.  But, I'll make it through...but, will my art business survive the glitch of time...yet again!  YES...eventually!

Wish me luck!

EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED...and that's a GOOD THING!


Dreaming Tree Epoxy Necklace NOW on FASO under my Jewelry Collection
I have been revamping my life and my on line presence and my classes for awhile now, and I FINALLY have found my creative voice and have gotten most of my p's and q's together.  After many attempts at many different sites, including Etsy and a few free websites I have landed in the best place online I could be!  MY FineArtStudioOnLine website!  As it turns out I was trying to find separate sites that would hold my paintings (that was FASO), my jewelry and creative treasures.  I failed miserably with ETSY as they take way too much and I was forced to raise my prices, AND, they would take money out of my account and I could never figure out why...I paid for ads with them and sold some, but again, they took WAY TOO MUCH...and the day I stopped the ads my sales went to zero!  I found out that they can bury your ads so you feel forced to advertise with them!  SCAM!


The day I found out that FASO would hold everything I do I was in heaven! Not only is that great, but they do not take a commission in the form of fees or anything else; no transaction, nothing but what pay pal charges for services; which is a great deal less than ETSY. AND, Fine Art Studio Online has an excellent customer service team that will chat with you on line, you can email them, or talk to them on the phone...VERY SOON!  Often within minutes!

SO, call me a happy artist! I'm busy loading my items in my website as we speak!  Give them a try if you paint and need a good reputable company!

HAPPY CREATING!
