2 Portrait Deliveries
I delivered a portrait last week and one this morning, both of which were received very well. I’ll post these images when the shots are back. I’m working on shooting art, lighting, playing with my new lense, painting, website, nonstop what else is new. This weekend I have to put my game face on and produce. Some minor loft renovations, start a picture, sort out this damn casting thing with a proper form, get the web blast synchronized with the shopping cart I’m starting. I can’t wait to have help all the time. I’d like to think one day that will come. The best thing about the one man show thing is that I’m always moving around, getting my hands into some new project. The problem here is that painting requires extended periods of monastic focus, meditation, what have you, so there is a balance to achieve that is always tugging me one way or another. This is something that any creator who makes a living in art must come to understand and work on daily. It’s so easy to fall off either side, and there is suddenly not balance, and a studio crumbles to the ground like a hundred year old farm house on fire. This is why I like to build with concrete blocks, rituals embedded in my day and life to keep me rolling back to my productive patterns, whatever diversions I take. Usually my diversions are art related, but when one is shooting down the rabbit hole after another masterpiece one has to remember to tie a rope around one’s waist.
Oh a nice last note… got word that a collector may be interested in a stone Revolutionary Family Totem for her entryway. This would be cool, particularly as my collector historically has purchased conservative, traditional works. I think she’s ready to get her freak on with some new contemporary sculpture… gotta love it.
