Painting #1- Finding my Roots 7×11
So every very successful artist I ask how they came up with their style & what was the time frame? All respond the same, paint a lot. Do a hundred paintings at least and then your style will start to emerge. In my head I’m always thinking well don’t they know I am a Mother, I can’t paint a lot….. I don’t have time!! Enough excuses on my part no one said it would be easy & just because I am a mother I thought it would or should come easier to me, right? WRONG. In my small career I have probably done 40 paintings but I am starting back at 1. My goal? To paint 2 paintings a week until I hit 100 which should roughly be around the end of the year, so by 2011. I wish I could do more than 2 a week but I have to be realistic being a Mom and all. In the end I hope to have found my voice as a painter, built a portfolio with 10 really great paintings that represent me well. What will I do with the other 90 paintings? I am going to post them here 2 a week as I finish them. The majority of them will be available at a very discounted price, so if you see one you like email me, make me an offer! Chances are you will get what you offer. If you see one you don’t like tell me, I have thick skin & would love the feedback.
on a side note: A small landscape of mine called view over 89 got in to the Bountiful Davis Art Center state wide competition. It will be on display there until the beginning of April. It’s a good one to take the kiddo’s to if your in to that kind of thing….
