When ARTISTS contact me
and ask
what paint to use
what canvas to buy
where to post for sale on line
how to sell
how to post
how to write up comments on posts
how to blog
how to paint
how to combine color
how to paint
what brushes to use
what scrapers to use
what time of day to paint
how to paint
(did I mention how to paint....?)
what time of day to blog
how to be successful...
(WHEW!!)
I pause
and tell them
there are many ways to do your own art.
That is what makes it your OWN ART.
I cannot instruct them how to do any of it.
I cannot teach them how to paint
or how to combine anything
Except
hard work
never stopping
never giving up
and working some more.
A guy on Facebook actually asked me yesterday.
"how do you do what you do?"
And I did not know how to respond?
give him my schedule?
Give him my diet?
Give him my accountants name?
My brand of paints?
It is NOT a formula.
It is NOT a race and some win
and some lose.
It is a LIFE.
And I choose to live it painting.
