Here's my warning about an Art scam email being sent out to artists

As an artist that has received a few unbelievable offers for my art by email from complete strangers - I wanted to warn you. I will share a couple of suspicious emails that I have received.

While I was reading the email I received today, I felt that this was probably a scam right off the bat. I googled to see if there were any 'art scams'. Well, sure enough, a whole whack of them!

Have you ever gotten stuck in the everyday cycle of not having enough time or energy to move forward ? I have to keep reminding myself what have I got to lose ? I lose more if I don't take these chances...

I plan to also post some of my other paintings that have taken me from a few hours to many many weeks to almost complete.

I'm in the middle of moving my blog from wordpress to this blog and so this site is looking a bit sparse.
