Original Silk Paintings, by MysticSilks

It's a rather chilly day in NE Ohio. Seems too cold, 39 degrees, for this early in the fall season, but then as many have said, it was a cool summer season, too.

I haven't painted anymore paintings since early this summer. Why? you may ask. I haven't got the room for storing them;my closet is loaded.

Etsy , the online site where I have my art work displayed for sale, is still in the process of dealing with the tagging issues. As an example, if you have someone who has painted a cheese board, they put the tags, art, 'original painting',housewares, and so on. Well, if you go to etsy and search for 'original paintings' guess what will also show up along with a zillion other things---a cheese board!

I don't think serious art collectors will stay too long on etsy. In fact concerned fine art artists on etsy have created a thread , and also a petition. This is the forum thread:http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6105708

And this is the petition:

In the meanwhilke I am going to upload some of my 'original paintings'--and there's not one cheese board among them: http://mysticsilks.etsy.com

Where Oh Where Did My Other Blog Go?

I discovered that I really know so very little about the process of setting up a blog. I had to delete one that I've had for over a year.
The reason it was deleted was because one day I felt quite brave and more knowledgeable than normal, and I decided to add some HTML to my blog.
Well, as a result it doubled every blog entry I had previously written.

The blog actually looked as if the viewer was seeing double!
I felt embarrassed, and as a result, I did not post anything to that blog for many months. I asked for some assist from people who were more literate with blog knowledge, but no one seemed to be able to help me correct the error that was made.

OK, but I had another blog and found out that since I deleted the other blog I for awhile ,could not find the one I am currently writing in.

Well, we'll see if this one holds.

If you get a chance , drop my my etsy store:http://mysticsilks.etsy.com/

So, finally on Friday the 19th of June 2009, I just deleted the double vision blog.

An Unusual Silk Painting "Bluebird Garden"

When I created this painting, or really any painting,I expect to see what I have added to the silk, not something that just shows up mysteriously.

That happened with this pretty painting of a fairy like sculpture holding a bowl, upon which a bluebird decided to rest for awhile.

If you look between that statue, and the clustered rose bush to the right,there is a faint image of a man and a woman.

Now, I didn't paint those images: They just showed up to enjoy the garden.
