Spent Friday night at the LEMURplex and most of the weekend blogging but I went over to my studio this afternoon and had a great time hanging out with some of the other artists and painting this still life.

I’ve had a dry spell for most of January where I began to doubt myself - am I an artist?  If I am, why don’t I paint more?

I also work full time as a Web Analyst, blog about 20+ hours a week, have several SEO/SEM clients, cover art shows and have a family…..and I paint.  

I don’t know what the order should be.   My work, what ever quality it is - is for me, and if anyone wants it, I guess I can sell my work but I’m if I don’t - and that’s very different than the way I was in the past.

Some thoughts I had while I painted - well…. I had two glasses of white wine (there was no red wine in the refrigerator) and my fellow artists also had some.   Let’s see….  I really did not like the Chelsea Museum - I was there on Thursday night; being in this crowd reminded me of how subjective art is …. I don’t like parts of the art scene - there was something very abrasive about the Chelsea Museum.

I also thought about how I can resolve my paintings now - at least I feel I can - and when someone else looks at my work - they’re looking at the painting - not what I was seeing and thinking - and maybe what’s really important is what’s in the work.

Maybe that’s enough posting for a Sunday night - hope you enjoy my Sunday Still Life.
