That’s some really incredible work in just five hours! Appreciate the choice in subject matter, too—such a striking story and depicted very well here!

Thanks James. In fact, it took 5hrs of preparatory work, and 10hrs of actual painting (since I could only do small bits and pieces once I returned home from my day job). So I'm not yet as fast as I'd like to be, but I'm improving my speed. :)

Thanks Jennifer. I'm excited, I haven't had this much creative energy (or creative discipline!) in quite a while, or I'd never dream of opening a store...

I think I can definitely put this creative energy down to deleting all my social media accounts and keeping only Substack (which I have to be careful to reign in frequently, too!), as well as attending daily Mass...God is good, and I hope He continues to bless my little works!

I know He will.

It's amazing the space that opens up when we get rid of screen time (like you, I have to keep an eye on my Substack use). Regular participation in the sacraments has a steadying effect. You won't always have this level of creative energy, but you can have the grace to consistently show up.

Hooray! I'm excited you've opened a store. Based on your posts, it sounds like an area that doesn't have a lot of people actively offering the service, and it's such a cool type of art. The artwork looks wonderful, too.

Can't buy this one, but I'll definitely check out the store from time to time. :)

Thank you so much! Yes, it's something of a fading art which is a shame because it's soooo pretty.

That's okay! Pricing is tricky because I have to manage AUS to US postage prices, which are astronomical at this time unfortunately. TvT But thanks for the kind words and interest :D
