I sold a lot of pieces in the last 2 months leading up to Christmas. It has been fun and a good for my ego 🙂
So, my wife and I sold 10 paintings at the Cedar Ranch Show. I have been taking an online course from Rusty Jones, and my wife has been auditing the class. We did a lot of 5×7 demos, I did several 8×10’s and we sold 10 pieces including a large piece I did on my own a year ago called the Tree in Monterey. This is the first successful show since the bain of Covid.
Taking a Workshop with Rusty Jones online. These are 3 of 4 5×7’s I did last week. The weekly assignments are getting me to be more diligent about painting. The Course is called In Celebration of Nature

Just finished a piece promised to my granddaughter. Somewhere in the Mediterranean.
I can do commissions from photos if you have a place you love.
I have not painted in over a month. Sometimes that happens because of vacations, visiting family away from home. But now that I’m back, I’m having a bit of a motivational problem. I’ve sold 1 medium painting and several small ones over the last 6 months, but my inventory is stacking up and I’m finding that even though I like what I do, I’m not selling as much as I’d like to, and it gets discouraging, especially when I start running out of room in my studio to store them. I am just not feeling very inspired.
Do you ever get that way?
I am in a gallery called Art on 12 (https://arton12.com) and I get a lot of compliments on my work, but 100 times more admirers than buyers. People like to look, but few are actually in the market for art, and even fewer have, or are willing to spend, the money for fine art.
The art world is fickle. People’s tastes change. What is popular is today may not be tomorrow. I’m noticing that brash colors and abstracts are selling a lot more than impressionistic landscapes. I may be out of touch or living in the wrong era.
Gordon Fowler and Herb Smith will be our two featured artists whose works will be up by July 7th. The reception and grand opening for this show will be on Wimberley’s Second Saturday Gallery Tour on July the 13th.
I am in this new show that just went up and have already received some votes from the “People’s Choice.”

Thanks for the Prayers Sara Thurman! 🙂
It was a foggy day in Rock Creek Park Tennessee, where I visited with my Tenn family. The haze created a beautiful photo, but was too misty when I painted it. Needed to stand out.
I will be in the Second Nature, Show and Sale this weekend in Wimberley Texas. Come and See!
