This morning is the start of our 4-day Easter holiday in New Zealand! So excited...four days to get my "studio" - actually the garage - cleaned up, organized as my painting space and ready to go. Then, I have to actually paint (always the first thing to go out the window without self discipline!) and take photos of my finished art ready to start posting on this blog and my web site.
So this blog is about both the "outter journey" (to other countries and places) and the "inner journey", not in a new-agey way, more about my attempts to discipline myself to work, to find ways not only of creating art but of selling it, marketing it, doing some good quality video tutorials and generally being more professional about getting my paintings out there, in as many ways as I can, where people can actually see them.
Like most artists, I love the peace of working quietly alone, to my own music, at my own pace, in my own space. This stands in contrast with the "other side" of art, which is promoting and making it public, visible (and therefore open to criticism).
Art and travel. Faith and people. Culture and art. Art and creativity. These things have always gone together for me. When I travel I see things in a new way. Painting helps me to stop and really look at the world and hopefully express it in a new way.
