ebay disappointment

Well, Ebay has really done it now. Seems they don't want "little" sellers on their monster site anymore. First they raised the fees, eliminated the stores, and now have sent out emails saying "you are performing under our standard". I spent the last couple of days looking after my grandson because my daughter-in-law is in hospital awaiting cancer surgery. I arrived home this morning anxious to do some artwork and listings. I knew I had sold some paintings and was expecting to pack and ship. Opened my email to the message from ebay. I felt sick until I looked at the forums and realized that it was just their newest insult and I wasn't alone. Of course I will be closing my store.

Other than that little hiccup in my artsy life I have been once again concentrating on crows and ravens. Every morning when I sit out on my front porch with my coffee the crows pose and perform for me. It's as if they know they are my favorite subject.
