april 1st is the day i plan to open the shop. april first and then the plan is to do a painting every day in april. i think i should be able to create a painting a day (maybe more!) and then photograph them and upload them by the end of the week or something. it's funny (and i know i've already mentioned this but) how annoying it can be to have to photograph things. i think mainly because i feel like i can never get it at just the right angle without it looking lopsided or not right. in my mind, people will only buy completely symmetrical photographed paintings. and when i photograph them it always seems to be at a bit of an angle. it's hard because i want to photograph them in the sun but then when it's sunny i can't really see what i'm doing.
another problem that makes me nervous/anxious is self promotion. i want people to see my paintings and buy my paintings and enjoy my paintings as much as i do... but i don't want people judging my paintings or critiquing my paintings or thinking that i think i'm better than anyone else. i know all of these things are likely to happen. and i'm hoping that with time i'll be able to develop a thicker skin and be ok with it. but i'm not there yet.

ahhh! i can't believe this is really happening. also, i can't believe it's still snowing in new hampshire and it's going to be april on wednesday. can someone please let the weather know that spring has arrived and we would appreciate some more appropriate temperatures?
