After 8 long years of cross-country travels, 5 different galleries, so many different art fairs, and so many different gallery pieces, 17,000 paintings on eBay (maybe over a thousand paintings before eBay) and a thousand paintings on Etsy, my projector finally gave out on me today. But I'm happy to have my brand new projector that only cost me $40, and it is so much better than my last one because it is brighter, faster, and it brings excitement back to me again.

My studio and supplies are mostly set up, as I've been painting for a while. The biggest change is my collection of canvases, ranging from 9 by 12 inches to 18 by 24 inches, with larger ones in my garage for special, realistic paintings that take weeks to finish. I also have a couple of small Bluetooth projectors; one I recently bought from Amazon, allowing me to send pictures directly from my phone without cables. I can also upload images to my laptop and connect via HDMI, making the process quick and easy. My recent costs have been several hundred dollars, which include more basic paints, a few brushes, and the canvas and paper inventory. Also, a mention: some start-up costs for subscriptions :0/

I see there is a way to put our sites on vacation if we are going to be gone. Will this hurt our business ... the algorithm, etc? Will eBay penalize us?
