So here we are in the year 2011...how strange it seems that time passed so quickly from last year. As for Art – the first 6 weeks of this year has been so busy...and somehow, I created 6 awesome new pieces that are much different in design and color blends than before. I swore this year would be different and I have accomplished it. I do paint with any feelings; I just love to create good work that I would hang in my house. I have other artist friends who are having a great year and the prices of there is $2k to $6k..

 

I tend to think art has its buyers hiding out there waiting for the perfect formula of design and color…some have tapped into it and I hope this year I find my special source to tap into too. I also have found that even as I paint freely and without thought, my work in some ways resembles other pieces by other artists and for that I apologize. However, I will continue because I never intended on it to be like anyone else. I’m not sure who reads my blogs or cares, but my thoughts are that someone will relate and know what I am talking about. Here we go full force into 2011 without thought or plan……

So many time I show at galleries I find such a rich group of people searching for a special piece that reminds them of something or a time and place. But I also find many people come for the free food and drinks..you could get frustrated or you can simply enjoy the company. I have been wanting to do some Art festivals but the costs are getting so high and with the current economy, I wonder if I will break even..
The world of art can be such a fulltime job with festivals and gallery shows along with finding time to paint new pieces or experiment with all the ideas I have.
Working fulltime, painting fulttime and making it all work far to many artists know this is tough for some. I have met some artist that have quit everything in they're lives to simply paint..but I know I need to build a solid foundation to retire on through investments and other associated activites...but deep down inside, I want to say fuck it and just paint......damn...life has far to many choices...

Never do I have to the time to paint a painting from start to finish. All my art is created in little increments of time throughout my days. I have so many ideas that I wish I could let my mind work in one continuous flow. I mostly have to change gears working, running errands, cooking, bills, and finally art.

I envy the fulltime artist who can paint in one motion instead of broken elements. My inspiration has no time clock and sees only the canvas.
