Took out a piece of scrap watercolor paper to scribble on last night but it turned into an image I kept and posted.  Only problem is I spent too much time on it yet today.  Perhaps if it had been planned better I would not have had to keep re-doing it.   Lesson learned?

 The challenge for #Drawlloween, #mabsdrawlloweenclub today is the #huntersmoon.   Here is my final version:

Also, today was a milestone because I finally enabled prints to be made of one of my paintings on Etsy through the website Printful.  I had a few problems because I already had a listing for the image for the original piece and it complicated things to add poster prints, but I finally got it to work, although I had to pay another .20 cents, even though it should not have been considered a new entry. Not a big deal, although at this time of the month I am down to zilch in my bank account until Friday.   I may make prints available for a few more items and upload a few more things to my Etsy store, but what I really need to do next is learn a photoshop type program.  I have not had one in a while and need this so that I can clean up certain of my images, plus possibly make prints etc.   Before I do that though, I am going to apply to the Pinterest Affiliate program in combination with Etsy.   There is a Skillshare class that I will need to review tomorrow so that I can get this set up.   I have been cleaning up my Pinterest account and converted it to a business account, which was the first step.  I will do this tomorrow, as I am tired tonight... Was up to late last night.   Excuse me for the boring diary type entry, although this info might be helpful to anyone trying to become an independent artist.   You will see....
