The life of an artist
The life of an artist…
I get up when the sun rises without an alarm clock.
Hugs and kisses are abundant.
So is coffee.
Work means going out to play with a bunch of fun, creative people.
Also… lots of packaging and making friends with the post office employees.
Hands and clothes always covered with paint…. try to keep it off the baby.This is a painting I did many years ago and have always been quite fond of, but my walls and storage are full so I’m offering it up at $30 (11″x3.75″ on wood – varnished)… This piece has always felt like a self portrait to me…
Have an art show tonight and piles of commissions to get done, not to mention work to complete for next month’s show etc etc etc…
Sure beats working in a cubicle!
Onward and upward

Edit: The top piece sold this morning and I wanna change my cheetah (18″x37″) so I’m trying to move it before I paint it. It was listed at $425, but I’ll move it at $350 for a limited time.

it’s a good life. love the painting too.
@promisesunshine - And she sold in under 30 minutes lol
cool!!
i look forward to following in your footsteps, artistically
i love that your 1st painting here has sold already! & as everyone keeps saying, that cheetah is amazing! good job!
you are most fortunate, a life of love and friends and creation.
I’m eager to see what you do with the cheetah.
Paint, feed the baby.
Paint, change the baby’s diaper.
Paint, put baby down for nap.
Paint, start all over again…
ps…. I forgot to mention, love the cheetah!
Your spirit is so contagious!
Probably a good thing there’s no room left on my walls. I like your painting. Would have to buy it. Sheesh. I’m such a tightwad.
@Bels_Kaylar - I got a commission for another like Elemental as well – the daily deal thing is working out quite nicely. I sell a fair amount of the old work and am getting interest and commissions as a result of showing the stuff. You can do this! The climate for art sales seems to be improving again. If I can ever help you out on your arting mission, just let me know.
I hope you’re feeling well!
@plantinthewindow - Yes. I never forget for a minute how lucky I am. This is one of those golden times in my life and I’m so grateful for it!
@armnatmom - yes – just like that, except she doesn’t want to nap if she’s not on my lap lol
@WildWomanOfTheWest - Thank you
@Inciteful - Hehe… I’m a tightwad too.
@oceanstarr - thank you, you are a sweetheart <3 you have really, really inspired me, as i hope to keep proving, by adding work to f.b., at least. I’d agree, you’ve hit upon a winning formula, with ‘save this piece’ and/or the ‘daily deal’. cool to have the gallery in your corner, too. oxooooooooooo
