Another Rainy Day

Here in central Illinois it seems that the monsoon season is up us, cold fronts pushing through have cause grey skies and rain for what seems like forever. Last night I picked up my paintings from Robert Wayner at Black Walnut Gallery, the show did not do as well as he had hoped, people liked the quality of the images but did not buy. It is a sad fact of the art business that we need to sell our work to continue to create it. Receiving monetary reward for the work of our hands is nice(it helps to pay the bills), but it's more than that it gives us as artists a sense of credibility. Selling is bittersweet, you receive what you have determined fair compensation for your time and materials, but on the other hand a piece of yourself is gone. I tell people that paintings are like children, you don't want them constantly under foot, but you want to know where they are and that they are loved. More images soon.
