Note Cards

I've seen note cards on Etsy from artists who turn their paintings into cards. Michelle at Planters Bank told me that other artists who have had shows there sold similar things, so I thought I'd give them a try.
Oooo. I really like how they turned out. I'll be putting them up in my Etsy shop over the next few days. If you live in Clarksville you can stop by the Planters Bank Madison St. branch, see them in person and pick out a few to take home. Some people buy them to write notes to send out. Some people buy them and frame them to hang their walls or to sit on a sofa table.

Leave a comment if you would like more information or would like to buy some before I get them in my Etsy shop.

Art Interpretation

I don't claim to be a great interpreter of art, but I've found it interesting to see how others interpret art. I recently posted this picture on FaceBook. I said I hadn't thought of a name for it and wondered what others would name it.
That's where I saw how others interpreted my painting.

Here are some of the names people suggested.
Werewolf's Dream
God's Handiwork
Moon
Moon Dance
God's Promise
Blue Moon
God's Eye
Dream Time
Days Ahead

So what was my original thought?
I suppose it doesn't matter and ideally, a painting should allow you to put your thoughts into it.
OK. So I'll tell you.
It was a sunrise with the sun cutting through the morning fog. Oh well. I suppose it looks a lot like a moon.
