Caught Up!

Alternative Career to Painter: Nightcrawler Harvester 2026. Oil on paper, 18 x 24"

Finally caught up, I think. Several might be missing. Best not to investigate. Now I should be able to stay on track. 3-5 paintings a day... I’ll be able to manage a more thoughtful post every couple days while displaying my progress. I told @jompiy on our Thursday Black Ivory podcast that I want to improve my painting speed, so that all my actual painting work is complete by noon each day. Then I’ll be able to work on the dreaded “business” of art after lunch. I need to make Free Art Frees Art financially successful in order to survive giving away my art while I’m alive. I’ll set aside free work and price some work for my website, eBay and Etsy. As much as I am pained by the selling process, I know it’s necessary. Wish my luck this new year!

My town is getting smoke from Canadian wildfires. Two days indoors looking at the apocalyptic yellow sky. Better today, but outside smells like a campfire.
