Paint hypnosis


Today is another catch up day. I worked on a couple of ideas for commissions and spent part of the day on business calls and
e-mails. I know most of us artists have trouble making ourselves do the work involved with creating and maintaining business. Most of us would rather paint.
When I walk into the studio in the morning, before I put down the car keys or put lunch in the refrigerator, I find myself sitting in front of the easel putting paint on the canvas. A half hour later I find the keys still gripped in my left hand.
Here is a small painting that I'm finished with. I call it
Paying Respect, 10"x10" $575.
