WHY PAINTING?

If a person is going to paint, they will paint. Whether they are good may be relative as well as irrelevant. —stephen

Walking to where?

20250619- Been painting at a much slower rate now. My motivation has been interrupted for some reason. If I need to come up with a reason it could be my lack of professional training. Meaning, I either need to take some art lessons at the nearby junior college, or make time to watch some more videos online, of which there are many.

Currently, some friends have asked me to do a commission and I accepted. I visited their home at their request and got some background details on why they wanted a painting. Seems a location in their house has special meaning, and they wished it captured for posterity in the later years to remind them of an era. It is a great idea.

PAINTING - Can I buy?

“You mean people want to buy my paintings?”

After putting some of my paintings on FaceBook, several people contacted me wanting to know if I sell my paintings. “What!” You mean some people want to buy my paintings? But wait! Do I want to sell them; really? After all, these are my babies, my legacy? Nope! I began thinking that when I am 75 years old, (if I live that long), and look around and have hundreds of paintings, and my grandkids (if we ever have any), inherit them, they may just throw them away, who knows? So, YES, I will sell them. Of course, there are some that I will want to keep, but the majority need to be sold so others can enjoy them.
