Changes

Time may change me,

But I can’t trace time.

I spent a year or so thinking about ( or putting off thinking about) the fact that my website was getting pretty stale. So with the fresh promise of a new year I decided that January would be the month to make “changes”.  Similar to changing a hairstyle I looked at a lot of Pinterest photos and asked a few friends what they thought. I tried to navigate Youtube and Squarespace and watch all the How To videos. and while it was quite clear that www.yvonnedalewatercolours definitely needed a facelift, it also became clear that I had no idea how to do it.  Thank goodness Devon does!  She is here to help me with all the logical, technical, financial and business savvy.  All I have to do is paint pretty pictures, write blogs about them and visit with Devon while she does everything else.  Not too shabby, eh?  

Part of the facelift plan is to create a Store with Paypal for more streamlined access to my prints, cards and original artwork. Devon is also taking care of all the shipping chores, which I found to be overwhelming.  As much as I love the idea of snail mail, actually getting to the Post Office is extremely awkward.  

We are also launching a “Print of the Month” feature.  These prints will be available at a discounted price, formatted to fit pre-cut mats and frames readily available at your favourite place to buy frames like Micheals’ or Ikea. You will also receive 2 bonus art cards with your POM purchase. 

January’s Print of the Month is “Summer Arbutus” , Watercolour 8” x 8” (Seen below in a 10” x 10” frame.) Over the next few weeks there will be many more prints and cards available in our Store as we continue to grow,

There will also be an Events tab added to the navigation bar to let you know about local galleries and pop-up shows which I will be participating in.

And in case you had not noticed the background is Green.

I hope you enjoy the changes. Let me know in the comments section below.
