This past year, I had to work less on online market and more on development my setup for local events. More events have been popping up and so I am more focus on my Fine Art and selling my painting. I have a feeling that it may be possible to make a profit in 2022. I am going art & craft show all over Virginia. I get to travel and I have volunteers that will help me at shows!!!

I am thinking about getting my LLC for I may end up opening up my own art gallery in the future. Right now I am research and scotting out some areas I may want to buy my own building. I am thinking it maybe positive for me to found funds for it.

I thought about the next part of the post I did on goals with William Eastman suggestion. However, I feel like some area of topics would not be good coming from me on some subjects. So I was thinking if some guest author would not mind writing on the subjects. I can see that working. Such as on Spiritual, Physical, and Emotional.

I have to say figure out goals are not so easy because just because you are good at something does not equal success. There is more that goes into it. This is my latest post from my blog on the subject How to set Goals for Life. This post is for the one who are having a hard time trying to figure out what they want to do with their life.

Okay my website is back up! I have more to work on it such as the SEO. https://mariahargis.com It took a week to get the domain transfer and a couple days after to get the link secure and email transfer over. And yesterday I spend all day working on design the website. I still have to add the ads and start putting together the guest author for Survive 2020. Right now I am focus on building the blog then I will later on focus on adding the product page.

My website will be down this week. I am changing web hosting for better services. So I am redesign my website for more friendly blog environmental.

Good morning, this last week I work on a new painting call "Goldfinch Among Black Roses". Now I am working on some product ideas that I could used this artwork on. My next step is to edit this artwork for digital art so I can used it in graphic design or other product design.

I would love you heard your feedback on my painting and if there are any suggestion you may have for me.

I am looking for guest blogger for my website. The subject I am interesting in is "How I survive in 2020 -from a business point of view." If you are interesting in writing an article please DM me. For those who do write an article, I will post a link your blog on my website and I will provide the art to go with the article.

Have you ever heard about the tale of Jolokatturinn or a giant 'Yule Cat'. It is a Christmas Folklore from Iceland. In Iceland wool production is very important and it is important that everyone in the family do their share of the wool production. However, If they did not do there chore then they would not receive new clothes on Christmas day...

So the Yule Cat would come on Christmas day and eat the children (sometimes adults) who did not receive new clothes on Christmas.

This is a time lapse video of Yule Cat painting. The original painting is hanging up in the gallery in Red Vein Escape Room in Ashland, VA. Prints of this painting (18in by 12in) are for sale on my website.
