Art has been great therapy. And I just sold two paintings!

A friend of a friend saw my paintings on my site and ended up buying two paintings. A good way to spend my time instead of drinking, that's for sure. And this'll help pay for my art supplies.

Here's my site in case you're interested in seeing my work:

You have to do the puzzle to see what it is; except you probably know because of the colors.


EDIT: You can change the number of pieces. I make all mine with small numbers of pieces because I found that more than liking doing puzzles together I like finishing puzzles.

What an interesting program. My oldest daughter is super into jig-saw puzzles. I'll definitely share this with her. Thanks!

My browser was not accurate enough to get the pieced together on one try. I tried over and over till I got the pieces together. I am very good with gig saw puzzles and have about 20 all over my house. But, this was very difficult because the browser moved everything around. I guess I am used to working with real pieces and not those on the screen. Oh well...back to the drawing board.............................................

..........................................BUT I DID PUT IT TOGETHER.....

about 35 pieces and finish them in a matter of minutes. I guess I like finishing them more than doing them.

Plus using the mouse too much hurts my hand,
