I posted one of your videos on my blog--to help illustrate how abstract and realist painting can have the same energy. I contrasted your video with the video of Duane Keiser painting Candy Apple! I am a non-producing artist who is trying to get back into it again after raising a family. Love watching "real" artists right now!

If it's not happening now, it will happen soon because I know you're making time and room for it in your schedule. Thank you for all of your help and dear friendship. I can't wait to see what you'll paint next.... love you, xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475024301146537719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35399295.post-4566362110520688832010-03-04T16:02:23.977-05:002010-03-04T16:02:23.977-05:00"She generally gave herself very good advice ..."She generally gave herself very good advice (though she very seldom followed it)."<br />Lewis Carroll <br /><br />This quote seems to fit here. I hope I can get out of my rut someday soon. I am very content to see my energy going to good use through you however. Maybe I just need to watch for awhile?

I think when I can manage a little bit of both in the day that's when the promoting isn't so draining. Hope the haircut goes well - I just had one for the first time in oh, maybe a year and a half? haha Oh the things that get put on the back burner when you're painting like a mad woman! Cheers to paint, paint, painting. :)<br /><br />Martha, now I really wonder if such a thing exists and if it doesn't I should jump on it! haha (off to google auto slapping hand)...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475024301146537719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35399295.post-89902259441584027602010-03-03T08:14:30.292-05:002010-03-03T08:14:30.292-05:00It's always such a blessing to have another ar...It's always such a blessing to have another artist to talk to when we're going through these times -- because I believe we all do.<br /><br />I totally think you need to do a prototype and market that hand slap machine! That could make you enough money so that all you'd need to think about is your art!!

I am exploring different mediums because I think I am having a reaction to acrylic, Acrylic's my first love, so I'm feeling a little sad about that.<br /><br />I love your work, and I appreciate how encouraging you always are. Once I'm back to work, I'm going to buy one of your paintings. Do you have your working hanging up in your home? I started working on an online portfolio and still need to get my Etsy shop up, but here's a link if you are interested:<br /><br />http://www.artwanted.com/artist.cfm?ArtID=52610<br /><br />P.S.
