I am thinking of streaming live while i paint...do you think it would be worthwhile? would people watch?

While I was at the MoMa, I took some pics with my phone so I could remember the names of some artists I liked.

A customer showed me how she wrapped up my "The Land" print for a friend of hers. They both work in the "Crop Sciences Field" and Plant Breeding and work with wheat. How amazingly perfect is this packaging!!! She used wheat from their field!!!



On a completely unrelated note, this is one of the final progress photos of the latest custom house painting I did. It was such a cool modern house (which was actually a renovation on an existing house)! And yes, I let them dry on my window sill because it's the best place with a breeze.

Everytime someone purchases one of these, 20% goes to Habitat for Humanity, and I'm not sure if that plays a part in why people purchase it...but I am happy to say that this year I've made a couple donations in the name of the people supporting my art. Like a cycle!

ok. I admit it. I'm an art snob. There's A LOT of art I don't like. Not to say that I don't think all art has it's purpose/ audience/ or value... but there is very few art and/or artists that I can say "I LOVE that."

I had a little painting burn-out after that last haul for the Providence Arts Fest. Just finsihed a custom one...but have been doing a lot more BUYING rather than SELLING on etsy this past week!

check out one of my fav purchases so far from BaconSquareFarm! The turquoise and rust item in the center of my paintings is a magnetic board with 2 nails to hang stuff....love it. this also give you an idea of where my paintings wait for new homes.

when i was in highschool, i drove a couple of us to school everyday senior year after i turned 16. (Yes, i turned 16 my senior year of high school). every friday our favorite radio station (90.5 WBER in rochester, NY) would play Friday by The Cure. While my friend HATED the song, the rest of us loved it and would sing it at the top of our lungs. Today, gives me that feeling...and I'm not sure if it's because I work from home a lot now, or that things are going fairly well with work, or that the sun is finally out again...but today feels like that "friday."
