Constantly making ebook products, marketing and doing what’s necessary to keep your business running smoothly is fine and good but sometimes you’ve just got to play. 

And I found a wonderful new art program to play with.  It’s $25 for the download version and I do believe ArtRage is one of the best art programs on the market today.

I have at least 4 or 5 on my computer because art is my second muse.  So yesterday, I decided to see what I could paint in an less than an hour.  What this did was release I block I had about painting my beloved Pepper.  She passed 2 years ago and I’ve been wanting to paint her for my Mother.  She and Pepper were extremely close and she even referred to Pepper as her Grandchild (smile).

So do yourself a favor and do something creative when you’re feeling a tad bit burned out with your day to day life. I did and now I can enjoy getting back to business!Who knows you might even paint a picture for an ebook cover of yours.Judith

P.S.  You can learn more about ArtRage 2.5 here:

P.P.S.  The program will even rescale your painting to whatever size you want.  My original is 11 X 14 set to 300 dpi.  But for the web, I rescaled and compressed to 72 dpi.  That’s why the paint strokes look a little different from my original.    Oh well, it gives you an idea of what this marvelous program can do.
