1300 Paintings

With a Cherry on Top, oil on board, 8 x 10

Did I mention that this is painting #1300 since I started keeping track back in 1988?

This week I'll be shipping two paintings to Heritage Gallery in Scottsdale, AZ. Please contact them heritagefineart@aol.com or me for purchase information

SOLD!

Time Passes, 12 x 9, oil on canvas

I can't believe it! In my last post I told you about my new blog that will only have available work for sale. Within a few days of putting up the first painting I have a sale! Of course, I also sent an email to all my collectors but I do that anyway in the normal course of things.

I can't tell you how long this piece had been around, on my website, on my blog etc but putting it Out There once again did the trick.

Moral: If you have a good painting and it doesn't sell, don't give up on it. Keep showing it.

Today, I'll be adding my painting Time Passes to My Site

Available Paintings

Vessel of the Soul, oil on canvas, 30 x 40

Although all of my paintings are for sell I usually leave the selling up to my galleries and shows. Recently I have decided to select a few of my works to feature for sale and have added a blog that just has those paintings. As of today I only have one painting listed but will be adding more.

Here's the new blog (still refining the look of it)

The challenge of Painting in 2 styles

My posting here has been neglected due to the carpentry work we've had going one. I've been quite distracted. But everything is getting back to normal.

As you probably know, I paint in 2 styles: American Indians/western which I've been doing for many years and Contemporary Realism still lifes which I started doing seriously about 3-4 years ago.

I think it's great to paint in different styles/subject matters because it keeps everything fresh. I don't feel like I'm painting the same thing over and over again. My "problem" is that I don't want to show both styles at the same galleries and I'm a slow painter because of the detail I paint. The result is that I have twice as many galleries as I would have if I painted in one style and I spend twice as much time in the studio. Fortunately, I'd rather paint than anything else but it can be over whelming at times.

But I'm not complaining. Being an artist is a great life for me and I'm Blessed by being able to paint and have the galleries that I do.
