Childs Art Calendar
Hello from Virginia
It is a cool but beautiful
sunshine day, just right for taking our eleven week old Border collie pup out
to play. He is black and white and his name is Reacher. You know I live with my
youngest daughter (we have separate living quarters) she has 4 cats and of
course the puppy lives with them and they totally ignore each other.
I have never painted a full
portrait of an animal and I'm not sure that I can, but I'm going to work on
doing that, stay tuned!

Today's Marketing Tip for
Artists: There are a lot of things we can do to reach more people when we post
on Facebook. For one, make sure you post at the right times.
Recent data from bit.ly shows that the optimal time to post on Facebook is between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm, when Facebook traffic peaks.
According to Social Media Examiner, links posted between 1 and 4 pm get the highest click-through rates, with Wednesday at 3:00 pm being the best time to post all week. Links posted before 8:00 am and after 8:00 pm are less likely to get shared.
Another thing to consider is the TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday) factor. As office burnout peaks toward the end of the week, more people will be escaping to Facebook.
Engagement rates are 18% higher on Thursday and Friday than other days of the week, according to Buddy Media. Engagement rates fall 3.5% below average for posts Monday through Wednesday, when people are more focused at work.

Santa Claus how to make you own Santa Figurine PDF File
Hello from
I love spring with all of the new growth
springing forth, the yellow daffodils blooming around the deck are beautiful
and I see the tulips' will be blooming before long. The birds feed from the
upper deck and they drop the sunflower seeds down into the yard and they give
me something to paint, and more seed for the birds...

Cat in a Bucket
Hello! It is a beautiful day here in Virginia
Do you love cats? I like cats
but have never owned one. Both of my adult daughters love cats and own them.
So
knowing that my daughters love cats I think it would seem natural for me to
paint something that one of my daughters loves.
This kitten belonged to my oldest daughter and one day when she was
playing in the sand box one of her kittens climbed into the bucket and I took a
picture of them.
So here is the picture
that I painted. I hope you enjoyed viewing it and if you would like to purchase
one of my paintings you may find them here. http://www.etsy.com/shop/DessieFullTimeArtist
