The interesting thing about being self-employed is that I work much harder now than I did when I was under someone else’s direction. Whether or not there is any profit in my own direction is still up in the air. I have been selling some work though, and I think the project that I’m on now will be a hot item here in Huntsville.
I’m painting a 7 foot long panoramic watercolor of Big Spring Park, scaled down to the self-contained vignette size that I have been working with lately. The work is sectioned in five separate parts, each showing a different area of the park. It’s a somewhat overwhelming project, and all of my time and energy for the latter half of August is going into it. I probably spent 20 hours on this first section.

I’m definitely verging into overly-cute territory here, but how can I not when the subject matter is colorful ducks, squirrels and koi? I promise to follow up with something familiarly disturbing.
