Hello, my blog!

Oh dear neglected blog, forgive me for my infidelity. I now spend more time on FB. It is just so hard to post in more than one place. And Twitter, forget about it. That account will probably never have any action.

It's simply this: I have a larger audience on FB. People read and respond. I TRY to post in both places, I truly do. Because you were my first love, oh blogspot blog...my first confessional, my first gallery, my first place to rant or share or whatever.

I promise I will never give up on you, and always post my art shows and things I'm working on....but you just won't be as cool as you once were....full of my interests and photos of my life.....until I have more time. And honestly, don't know when that will be. I hope someday.

That said, I wanted to share a couple art things: I've added some older work to my Etsy shop...cleaning out the studio for when we move to our new house in Langley next Spring! So go to http://www.etsy.com/shop/karinart. I will be adding sporadically over the next few months.

The other piece of news: I will be showing in the Rob Schouten Gallery in Greenbank next August - YAY! However - this is not a threat, just information for you, that means my prices will double. So if you ever wanted to purchase any of my work, DO IT NOW. You will also help me with an art related goal I have for next year. Will share more if it works out!!! It involves international travel, intrigue, and hopefully an even BETTER artist (me) coming out the other end of the experience. Support me! :-) Maybe I should add one of those annoying paypal buttons to the blog so you can just straight up give me cash. mmmm, cash.

I have no art pictures on hand to share, so the above photo is my daughter, Lulu, and our Irish Wolfhound, Oskar (aka "Grom Grom", among other monikers). Oskar, unfortunately, has been diagnosed with a bummer form of cancer so please send healing thoughts our way for my dearest fuzz fuzz. Or cash. Just kidding. Sort of.
