Belated New Year Resolution

I am resolved to improve my blog and to blog more often and to use the other social media outlets that are at my finger tips. I am taking the blog Triage Class as a way of starting the transformation. Thanks Cynthia Morris and Alyson Stanfield for empowering me through your class. Right now I am acting like a seven year old who is finding every reason to avoid doing his homework hopefully with your help I can be broken of this habit.

Auction will begin April 24th

The main reason I have started my blog is because I have begun the process of paint 52 small (8 x8 – 8 x10) paintings that I'm going to post on my blog and website with the hope of selling them directly to patrons through auction. My plan is to do 3 paintings a month and put them up for auction. It is important to me that the quality remains high and that I don’t just knock these off quickly to keep to a schedule. I would like to blog about the process and stick to the experiment to see where it leads to and how long it will take me to produce 52 small works.

My blog will be a record of this goal and a way to connect to both patrons and fellow artists. In the long term I hope to be able to support myself through my sales and this blog / art project is the concrete beginning of this goal.

I also think that gallery representation will come as I get my work seen more online and that prospective galleries see that I am an active promoter of my art.

So far I have really enjoyed auctioning off my work there is gratification in the process of finding out how much my work will sell for and the felling that I am making progress in getting my name and work out to a larger audience. I also enjoy the excitement of selling my work and seeing what price I can get for my work n auction and even in the 4 months that I have been doing this the price and my discipline has grown.

I subscribe to 5 different artist blogs whose work I respect and  I really enjoy seeing their latest work. I hope someday that other artist and collectors will feel the same about my work.

As a painter of still lifes, I work in oils on both canvas and panels, using color and position to convey Modernist composition with a classical painting technique. Each of my paintings features extreme attention to detail, especially the effect of light as it hits objects. I recognize the value of craft in my painting and continually work on my technique and style.

I am an active member of Washington, D.C.’s artistic community.
