Going Once! Going Twice! SOLD!!

I sold two paintings last night! Waaaahoooooo!

I really could not be happier about their awesome new home and owner. I know they're going to be displayed in the perfect location and given a lot of love. I'll miss seeing them everyday but I know that they have found the PERFECT new parent.

Yes, I realize that I sound like I gave my puppy up for adoption or something, but that's kind of how it feels to sell a painting. Selling reproductions and my DeviantART items always feels great, but nothing can compare to the feeling I get when someone wants to hang one of my originals in their home. I paint for ME. When I started painting five years ago, it was a form of therapy for myself and never intended for public viewing. To this day, it's still a lot like that. I'm better about putting my art out there for the world to see, but I still paint for me and me alone. If someone else happens to love what I do, it's an incredible bonus and I still can't help but feel like they're joking. They can't possibly mean that they want to spend money on my glorified finger-painting can they? It's a feeling like no other when I realize that's EXACTLY what they mean!

So, Circle Phases I & II, enjoy your new amazing home. I can't wait to visit you in your new, pretty habitat.
