A new day a new key.

Things have been fast and furious here.
Many adventures some good some bad.
Needing to really focus on the key to making a living by my art.
No more playing around.
No more time spent doing other work for other people.

I tend to share my ideas before their time and those who have the ability to move faster take these same Ideas and run with them.
I have to learn to keep things to myself more.
It is interesting to find so many people who tend to make me feel less than I am are so willing to take my plans.
Now if they don't respect me....Why do they want to beat me to my own game.
Not sure this is making any sense but just something I need to put down....

I have missed another show and exhibition deadline. I feel that I am sabotaging myself in my own endeavors....if I plan to make more than I did last year then I need to stay focused.
It isn't that I need to enter the shows....but it is important to produce new work.....and entering shows seems one way to get me to produce.

I have sold 2 very large paintings and I have 3 that would make a good income if they would sell.
I need to work on my newest series which is titled the Family Life.
I need to get a calendar together or program of some sort that would keep me up to date on shows.........

well, I need to do a lot of things and I seem to be spending time on the computer instead at the easel.....

What is of Interest......

First Day

Well here it is November the 1st and it is the 1st time I have posted to my blog.
How boring!

Well off to my first day-----ART--- is it something to be appreciated, made to match the sofa......or just something that the artists needs to express? Some would say that an artist would paint or work no matter what...but would they continue if no one was there to encourage or comment?

Is ART or paintings only created if someone else can enjoy? I think that most artists whether visual or creative need an audience.......

Would I be incorrect in thinking that a dancer needs to be watched --why dance.
A singer needs to be heard ---why sing......
an actor needs to be on a stage or there is no need to act---
and an artists needs to have his/her paintings to be seen and enjoyed---why else create?

Even God created something that needed to be shared..... as it because the creation itself wasn't enough....he needed people to enjoy what he made-----so it is with an artist. Create for others to enjoy. Not that I am comparing artists to God...but to the idea that paintings are creations.

Will I create, paint, sculpt, draw---only if someone else appreciates the work? Or will I create for myself and for the sheer pleasure of doing.........time will tell.

This may be too simplistic but it is a way of thinking that I intend to digest and to chew on like a dog with his bone.....I will continue to dig it up and taste it to make sure it is still there and is still mine......I will worry it until I no longer take interest and then will bury it for good to forget it was even a thought.

What difference does it make if I work for others or for myself. Is it wrong to be commerical.....aha...but that is another question.
