Aerogarden 7-14, new painting, etc.

Germination has occurred! I still haven’t thinned out the plants (so only one will remain in each pod) but they are growing nicely after only 2 weeks. Yes, that is a breast painting in the background…Nes took the pic while I was sleeping and thought it would be a nice backdrop for the photo. He’s actually tended the Aerogarden more than I have at this point…he added the nutrient tablets as soon as he saw the light blinking. There isn’t much more to do other than watch the seedlings grow at this stage.

I listed an auction Saturday – “Forever Young #2.” I have a lot more toys to paint with and I look forward to seeing what kind of patterns they create. I think the next couple will be done without the RC truck background. Those tires are a pain to clean afterwards. I basically have to drive it back and forth in a tub of shallow water.

I plan on listing another “Garden of Hope” painting in my store…it is by far the nicest one from the series (in my opinion) so I’m not going to let it go for peanuts. I wonder how other artists feel when they sell some of their best work for far less than they expected. This happens on eBay a lot when you don’t take into account the ending time/date, like what’s going to be on TV in the various time zones. For instance, I noticed a huge drop in last-minute bids when American Idol and Lost were on. It crushes me when something I’ve put so much of myself into (literally, in this case) sells for much less than I hoped. I easily get attached to some of my work since it’s basically are an extension of me…and it’s not my nature to share so much of myself with complete strangers. I’ll post pics of “Garden of Hope # 9″ as soon as it’s in the store.

I’ve been busy helping my dad move out this weekend, and yesterday he left for his 2 month stint in Hungary. I had a hard time getting to sleep last night, but I felt a lot more relaxed when he called around 3 this afternoon to let me know he arrived safely. He gave me a MagicJack so we can talk to each other cheaply, so I’ll be reviewing that in the near future. Basically it’s a VOIP thing that plugs into any USB port and would allow me to call Hungary (and vice versa) for 2 cents a minute.

OK, that’s all for now, my 2 faithful readers…I’m getting ready to delete that counter since it bums me out every time I look at it.
