Obstacles

New work will be posted as soon as I can get the weather to cooporate with me. My house has bad lighting so I have to go outside to take good pictures. It's sunny today, but very cold and windy. Maybe I should buy a lamp with natural light bulbs. Costly, but good investment. I really would like to find a way to market my work into resellable items-prints, cups, cards, etc. Then I could put them on zazzle.com. I would also like to invest in a good printer. There is a site called CraftCount.com that list the top 100 sellers in all categories on etsy. I check out the top artists selling and realized that they all had one thing in common. Prints. All were selling prints of their work. Even though I like doing one of a kind paintings, prints could up my sales. I could leave corporate America sooner. Wish me luck!

The Ocean Calls

A new painting! 24x36 and I had so much fun doing this one. I don't know, but maybe I have fell into what excites me. I am listening to Artistically Speaking on Blog talk radio with Rebecca E. Parsons. This time she is interviewing intuitive artist Sandra Pineault. A great interview that I found very interesting as I have started doing this myself. Not trying to look like everyone else and giving in to my love of colors, shape, and texture. The Ocean Calls, I think, came out of my need for warmth and sun and the sea. Thinking about the sea a lot lately. I guess I'm looking forward to my vacation trip to the coast in May. Is it May yet? :(

Hands of Blue

Image
I had a dream last night that I was painting on a very large canvas. I was rubbing my hands all over it smearing great globs of a very beautiful blue all over it so that it dripped and ran like a waterfall down the canvas. I looked at my hands and they were also dripping with that amazing blue. It pained me that I had to go to work this morning and not paint. Also I am out of large canvas.                                                                                               This is the closest I could find to that color.
