I’m putting my shingle out: watercolor paintings for sale! I’m retiring after 25 years in the advertising industry, and not a bit too soon! I had a good run at it and was quite successful. But I’m sick of the stressful deadlines and long hours. I saved as much money as I could and now I am going to head of into a new career‑ professional artiste. I’ve managed to join 3 quality galleries around the state of Michigan. I’ve set up a very good, search engine-sound website and have even embarked on a daily blogging regime. All of the pieces are in place. Now, I just have to paint well enough to pull the whole thing off!
