That’s a wrap! Onwards in a new direction.
January 30, 2010
I went on Friday to the library and took down the show (with big help from family). Soon I’ll be contacting buyers and delivering art.
I’ve been pondering the question of creating prints. I’m tempted because the Saskatoon scenes sold so well, but I’m going to hold off on it for now. I talked to Murray at Collector’s Choice and he explained the various reasons artists do make prints: either the original is so expensive it’s not accesible to average buyers or there is so much demand for a particular painting that an artist cannot keep up producing the work. As an emerging artist, it’s clear to me that I just need to keep on making original work.
In other news, I stumbled upon Carol Marine’s art blog. I love her work and she has inspired me to try something new. For the next few months I’m going to play with oil paints (totally new for me) and work small (think 5 x 5″). My goal is to make a painting each day, like Carol does, although I won’t beat myself up if I fall behind from time to time. I want to focus on colour and impressions of every day objects.
