Perfection?

I was in an artist's studio yesterday-11-19-11, and the artist made the common
statement about being better. Being better at one's art is something special.
I looked around the studio and saw some of the artist's early works, they looked good to me.In my opinion,some artists are too hard on themselves about
being better. An artist just has to do the best that they can, at the time they
are making the work.Being better is subjective.

If you are curious about me , see me by google. I didn't make the first cave painting, but I do what I can to have a working class art life.

I figure I'd better blog some thing on this blog. Here goes, in the art life one never knows where the next sale will come from. I am always surprised when I do sell awork of art. I don't take sales for granted. I just sold a metal sculpture. I made a contact on the sidewalk in front of my house about ayear ago and the result is , I sold a sculpture today. Yipeeeeeee!

Freshman

I have named the new people to art, freshman. It's a good way to not call them philistines.
Some people will never get what we artists do. Maybe a few will get to be more than freshman. We will just have to wait and see.

Brush Agility

One can have great skill with the paintbrush, but one must have great skill marketing the end result.
Denver has a bunch of skilled painters, their marketing skills ain't up to par.
I got all those people beat. I like to heat and eat.

Time Flies

I hit seventy one years to day, Time sure does fly.
One thing I can say is ,I haven't wasted time. I consider all of the art I have made over the years and I have a lot to show for my time on the planet.
Happy to be here.

Still Painting

Even though the economy is still not the best , I still continue to make my small recession sized paintings. These works are priced at less than one hundred dollars.
I call these works my recession size paintings. I have sold a few when I have made them available. I am still painting no matter wha the economy does.
