I’ve been MIA on BlueSky for a while. Life has a way of turning every thing upside down. Things are semi back to normal and back to Painting. Here’s a detail from a new portrait #portraitpainting #art

I haven't been on socials much for the past month. I don't know what the purpose is anymore. You can't trust what you see or read. Thoughts?

The universe is amazing. I was obviously feeling low as many of us are today. I was bawling last night and couldn’t catch my breath. And you know what happened? At the precise moment I was going into full panick mode, I got 2 texts from my besties just to see how I was doing. 🥹

I couldn't help this gif. Its such a relief from the crapshow. I hope its not just another distraction. But for now, I'm going to enjoy the girls crapping on each other and not the American people 😃

I have closed my print shop. Hiring a google SEO consultant wasn’t worth it. Not one sale. Frustrating.

Nadine Robbins (Portraitgirl) @portraitgirl.bsky.social · May 29

As an artist, I recently read that showing my process wasn’t a way to get sales via social media. It also mentioned that showing just the final painting didn’t improve sales either. The article stated that collectors want to know more about the artist and our thought processes.

Why is this?
