    1. Heidi: In my newsletter, I was focused on subject matter – not really what to do with the pics. So, you’re right . . . maybe it’s another post.
      Have you made such videos?

  1. Thanks for the list Alyson! I’ve started adding some photos of my studio in addition to my artwork on my blog posts, but hadn’t received much change in response until I added my first short video, which included me, my studio and my work – Wow, that was a big hit! I’m now thinking about more ways to include video clips in my online presence.

    1. Ayn: Neat! I will have to go take a look.
      Writing this post helped me think about additional photos I could add to my own site. Ah, the power of writing. Good for the soul and the biz.

    1. I loved seeing these, Dora. In fact, I was writing that post as you mentioned your new red door. Kismet!
      And I look forward to seeing the studio in person when I’m there in November.

  2. I like to take pictures of my work in public exhibitions. Curators have great skill and make artwork look especially amazing.
