I’ve really missed my daily painting exercise! I have to say how much I admire those of you who don’t miss a day! I have no good excuse, because I know that you all have pressing responsibilities in your own lives, and yet you manage to post regularly. You’re my inspiration! Anyway, freinds, I’ve done what I can to juggle things the best I could. The show that I told you I’ve been preparing paintings for opened last night. I was so pleased with the paintings I submitted, and anxious to see them in the gallery. Unfortunately, the space they were assigned was rather dimly lit, and what light there was mostly succeeded in creating a glare, so you could only see them from five yards away in half light. Reality is rarely what we imagine! Oh, well. We pay our dues and keep doing what we love.
Here’s one from a drive into the hill country near my studio. It was such a pleasure to dive into this little painting and push on with making the best paintings I can.

I’m frustrated with eBay at the moment, and re-thinking what I want to do. It seems there’s a lot of very nice work languishing there, lost and awash in a sea of ridiculously low-priced mediocrity. I’m not just being negative, but I’m trying to face the reality of the situation and move in the right direction. Any of you have suggestions, or things you’re trying out?

  1. yes, i agree with your comment on e-bay. however i must preface it with saying i am in the position of just starting out online looking at my options and being put off with ebays high fees and bland interface. my gut feeling is all you experienced artists will eventually go elsewhere. which brings me to some suggestions from doing my online research. 3 online presences come to mind, boundlessgallery.com, ecrater.com. and fineartamerica.com. my work is now with d’art fine-art.com but haven’t been making sales.
    good luck and it’s nice to know maybe e-bay and all the high costs associated with it, may be a thing of the past.
    sincerely,
