Check out Kelly Rae Roberts [Taking Flight] and Claudine Helmuth [collageartist.com]. Two successful artists who sell their work and teach classes. Claudine writes about her pets and includes it in her post. Their blogs drive people to their art. They consistently tell their story, share their process and their art. Kelly sold all of her original paintings on Etsy in a matter of hours, and I am one of those people that got in line to snap up one of her paintings.
