I don't envy you being in the middle of selling your house. We've done that twice in the past and, while it's lovely to have everything sparkling, it doesn't really feel like 'home'.Kathleen Maunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827170549189936589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-59038661371205188482012-10-27T14:44:24.781-04:002012-10-27T14:44:24.781-04:00Thanks, Julie.

There are always some paintings that hold more personal meaning but I think it is a good thing that I am starting to let go of some too.

Since we have been trying to sell our house I have to keep my studio clean all the time and it's so annoying, it looks nothing like a 'real' artists studio! Happy you are attracting such positive interest for your work. Wishing you the best;-)annamaria potamitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10940831135518204457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-13210333356721578142012-10-26T13:14:23.910-04:002012-10-26T13:14:23.910-04:00Nice work Kathleen, I find it hard to part with pa...Nice work Kathleen, I find it hard to part with paintings that are personal. I used to have to part with lots of artwork for Greeting card companies, but nowadays I get to keep those too, as it all goes via email! So I get to make nice portfolios of my work, it's a good place to keep artwork, you can display it when necessary and it's kept safe from smudges etc! :)Julie Clay Illustrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921769068494507312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-14864480687324060182012-10-26T08:25:58.382-04:002012-10-26T08:25:58.382-04:00That's a great way to look at it, Cindy.

And I understand you totally when you say you have a hard time to let them go in new homes ! I just feel the same sometimes, specially if it's a special project. We pour so much love & care, that our projects become like little babies of ours.<br />oxoxoSonia / COZY MEMORIEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442300389429354564noreply@blogger.com
