Every few days I check my website (www.WishfulTravelerGallery.com) to see how many people have visited; and the other day I hit a milestone when I saw that exactly 20,000 people had visited the site. Less than a week later, I see that I now have had 20,487 visitors to the website and counting. This milestone isn’t bad considering I started the website less than two years ago.
Watching the traffic to my website has been like reading a road map. When I first started downloading pictures of my paintings, it was like going down one of our winding country roads up here in Central New York with a few visitors to the site. In fact, the scenery was pretty much like our CNY farmland with scenes of old barns, country churches, country Christmases, horses and carriages, and farm kids doing what farm kids like to do. However, on my road map I found myself taking a turn and following my dream of traveling through Europe through my paintings.
Instead of winding country roads, now it’s meandering canals with mirrored reflections from colorful buildings hugging their banks. Strolling through charming, little Italian villages along the Mediterranean to boating the Grand Canal in Venice. My new map winds through medieval towns along the Alsace Wine Trail in France, to visiting castles in Germany and so much more.
Of 20,487 visitors to my website, 11,721 of them had viewed my 60 paintings of European art. And 8,766 visitors have traveled along my country map and viewed my 86 paintings of CNY.
It seems like that turn I took from bucolic country paintings to European art was the right turn to take.
