As it should have been, we entered the new 2019 year. Year of the pig. And that means that we are waiting for a lot of changes, dirty tricks, a lot of work and all sorts of good news.
About this all I want to tell you, my readers.
And now all news …
First , the site I have been working with for 2+ years is www.artfinder.com/helen-polishuk#
It is English site.Best English website for artists.
I am very accustomed to it. It is family-owned, limited, simple, but rather conservative in terms of attitude both to artists and to the evaluation of our works.
The site is changed this year.
It’s about payments, but more about screening out artists.
New working conditions with him are introduced.
The artists were divided into three categories, the first one is free, but at least 30 paintings are on sale and 40% goes to the site from the sale of the painting.
The second – 33% goes to the site, also a limit of up to 50 paintings and $ 5 per month payment. A third of 33% of the price of the picture goes to the site, no limit for exhibiting paintings and $ 15 per month.
I do not know why, the site blocked the use of Paypal, which made it difficult for me to sell the paintings since last fall. I was out of Canada to regulate the banking process. In general, all this concerns tax changes. Because there are strict changes.
I continue to work with this site. I limit the display of my paintings there, but I will develop and develop myself in other places.
So, I improve this my site. Now you can buy pictures from here.
There is a page on Facebook if you find.
www.facebook.com/helenpolishukart.
There are coupons to buy paintings from this site at a discount.(my secret) 🙂
And if you write to me at email: contact @ helenpolishuk.com and we will agree on the sale, how to shipping, how to pay, I will gladly give you more discount. 🙂
The main thing is to discuss all the details.
I created two sites on the FB.
www.facebook.com/helenpolishukart
And
www.facebook.com/CanadaPetrykivka
They are completely different. One about art, the second about Ukrainian art.
Both sites are working and will talk about art, news and small announcements about ongoing events
I am expanding the sale in my surroundings and my paitings are leaving me.
I expand the sale in my environment and my pictures go away.
So, this week I’m breaking up with these beautiful paintings . Let her new owners be warm and pleasant to look at them at home.
I remind you that when buying my painting I give a Certificate of Authenticity to every purchaser.
I am very active on the instagram page @polishukelena
When on the calendar December, a lot of worries and preparations for Christmas and the New Year.
I really love this time.
He gives a good mood, drifting the last year and helping to plan the coming year.
It turns out that not only me preparing for this holiday painstakingly and intensely. My city Toronto is also preparing for this holiday.
I realized this by visiting an exhibition of flowers in Allan Gardens, dedicated to Christmas.
How many flowers needs grow by this month, then to decorete everything beautifully and accurately in the collections and present them to us.
I invite you, my readers, to walk with me along the Allan Gardens instead of gossip and fantasies.
I am suspicious of mass events, but today I violated the usual rules and visited Allan Gardens on the day of his invitation to Toronto residents for an exhibition dedicated to Christmas.
I must say that the weather so far just helps to walk and enjoy nature.
The temperature slightly drops. It’s not sharp, as usual, but gradually, as if playing with us. Today, for example, at night there was a thick fog that enveloped all Toronto in a continuous tangle and was played this way until midday, when the sun dispersed the clouds and warmed the city.
Walking in Toronto on such days is just a pleasure.
Usually for December slush, dampness, rain or snow. But the year does not happen for a year and this winter while we are pleased with the warm weather.
Only after opening the doors of Allan Gardens, you immediately get into the embraces of greenery, flowers and plants. A huge number of different varieties of flowers and plants live in this unique garden.
We must thank the workers of this garden for their hard work.
Exhibited very interesting collections of cacti, hydrangeas,roses and various varieties of tropical plants.
Some of them are so planted that intertwine with each other and make a bright rainbow of colors.
Decorate their wooden bulls, bridges, flowerpots and garlands of Christmas lights.
The third year in a row at the Allan Gardens opening of the Christmas Flower Show.
There are free cider and cookies inside garden.
From activities there is a wagon ride around the park.
It is line with children and parents to horseback riding.
It’s not just a walk, you have to sing a Christmas song.
Of course it’s cool and cheers up.
Some people walking in the park in old clothes from Toronto Streampunk Society.
They are friendly, they smile cute, posing in front of the cameras and make good atmosphere walk in the park.
There are two places where the workshops is held.
In one you need to make a decorative toy on the tree with your name.
In the second it is necessary to cut out a toy and decorate it with ornaments.
It is popular in Toronto to conduct workshops at the events of the city.
It helps create a family atmosphere, entertains children, helps adults.
When in the middle of winter, cold and gray, you get into a tiny green, well-groomed piece of Allan Gardens, it’s like you get into a fairy tale.
Of course, this is an amazing show and I thank its organizers for this idea.
The exhibition’s location:19 Horticultural Ave.,Toronto.
