My Biggest (Photographic) Hit!

I love this photo that I took at Warrior's Path Park in Kingsport, TN. I barely had to toy with the coloring (although it is cropped a little for better framing), I was elated when it came out so vivid. I put this bad boy up on my Etsy shop and it was gone the next day. I had a request for more, so I put two more prints of it up for sale, gone the next day. How awesome is that? I'm not ready to stop if you guys aren't! I am always willing to sell reprints of my work if someone wants them.

Speaking of my Etsy shop.., check it out if you haven't, shop up! Support local art!

Anywho, the reason I love this photo so much is because to me it represents everything I stand for: peace, passion, and love. The colors and atmosphere are soothing and peaceful. I worked really hard to get the perfect shot of this little area, so it evoked my artistic passion. Finally, I took it on a day when I was surrounded by people I loved. I think this really comes through in the photo; that I was in a peaceful but passionate and very loving place when I shot it. I try to make these things evident in all of my work...evidently something went right this time (see what I did there? Chuckle, chuckle).

I think when you approach your career/hobby/relationships in a way that encompasses everything you stand for it shines through and the results are going to be prosperous. Maybe not financially, but in other ways that matter just as much (or maybe even more). I would love this photo even if it hadn't sold a damn print, but I think my love of it guaranteed the rewards it's reaped: I was in a good place to create, I created happily, and success was manifested.

So think about this as you go about your lives. Whether you wish to create art, business success, cultivated and healthy relationships, or all of the above, approach this creation in a way that will satisfy you first.

Wishing each of you the peace, passion, and love required to create things you will adore! MUAH!
