Super Wolf Moon

"Under False Moons" just sold to a collector!
I was for certain this one was going on my wall for a bit but it actually sold the week it was listed and on the day of the Super Wolf Moon. I couldn't be more thrilled. I love when my art finds it's "person" and when I can run the transaction without any help from a gallery or third party. That's powerful and makes me feel like EH WHO NEEDS THEM ANYWAY? There have been FEW who have connected me to collectors but the ones who have I dearly appreciate. I write to art agents only to be ignored. Real art snobby! But that's ok because THEIR LOSS 😂😂😂
Maybe its just supposed to be me dealing the cards and playing the game and winning all the hands. Maybe the old idea that someone could help me is just that...an old idea.
So Little Red Hen once again or LONE WOLF more appropriately. You learn to make it work for you.
So now its sold and that means KEEP PAINTING. Your stuff is wanted. You have it. Run with it. Do it. Every day. Don't stop. I'm totally in PRODUCE mode and its a great place to be.
Busy day doing...WORK, duh. Cold front finally rolled in and there's bread to start and everything to work on.
Hope everyone has a cozy, creative weekend.

Jim Rockford was keeping me broke

Ah Rockford files, a comfortable and silly way to unwind after work. Yes, I am completely aware that I've turned into my Dad and watching Dad shows totally cements that theory. I had to start looking at the handsome James Garner in a new light though... He was a rich and famous star in his time and every evening spent curled up watching Rockford Files was an evening a painting wasn't getting worked on. No painting, no art show material. No painting, no galleries. No painting, no money. Would James Garner be watching TV every evening in a tired drowsy ball and not getting stuff done? Probably not.  So I pulled myself away from TV land in the evenings and devoted at least a little time in the mornings as well. Even if it's just ten minutes. Even if you are just filling in all the blacks, blues or whatever... It is progress. Something is better than nothing. I'm proud to say this little habit tweak has totally kicked my butt into gear and I'm producing at a rate I'

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

The Backstory- cliff notes edition

  Skip navigation  little backstory I was totally working for myself as an artist and you know what? It was HARD! Harder than hard and harder than any job ever. But it was the most rewarding experience and I learned so much about so many things and I want to share that knowledge with you guys... My VIP art club. I didn't get a fair shake from the very beginning of my art career. I suffered a back injury at my "muggle" job which required a lot of physical therapy to get over and which I will have with me forever now. It was actually the impetus for me to quit my job and start being an artist! So I turned my bad luck into fuel for my fire. I saved 5k (painstakingly while enduring all the BS at a terrible job) and then I made the leap. I was so excited and optimistic about working for myself! I had sold little pieces here and there and was sure it was only upwards from there. 2 weeks into my freedom- my Dad died unexpectedly. What came next was indescribable DEPRESSION and a
