The Day's Work

Sat Sep 12, 2009, 5:59 AM
'The Day's Work' is the title of a Rudyard Kipling Book and the blog that I have recently embarked on.

Each day I plan to post my day's work, the good, the bad and the unfinished along with a few comments. I've been at it several weeks now. Posting photos of the paintings each day is no problem. Writing something clever and witty along with the paintings is. The question is what to say, if anything, and how to say it in the blog format is still up in the air. However, I see no reason not to invite everyone to look in and see how developes, so here's your invite. Stop by some time.

łatwiej wytykać komuś niż unikać własnych błędów a doświadczenie dobra rzecz - kupiłbym kilka kilo, cena nie gra roli...

When I switched from watercolors to oils six years ago, I can remember sitting and trying to paint oils and saying 'I hate this... I hate this.' Eventually, I didn't any more -- though these days I paint in acrylics because I can do what I want, easier. What I love is the fact that I don't have to plan any more, or plan only very loosely and just work on things until the turn out, or I decide they never will.

Post-professional, assuming you mean professional the generally accepted meaning of someone who paints to show and sell. For the last five years or so I did sell my work -- several hundred pieces, in fact -- mostly on line for very modest prices -- which was fine, all part of the romance of being an artist. However my market seemed to disappear with the economic down turn, and I've taken that as an opportunity to get serious about painting.

I find that having to ask myself 'Yes, but will this sell?' to be a subtle poison to my work, in that my least favorite pieces are often my more popular ones. I feel I know what is my best work for the long run, and to follow the 'market' to make sales now would lead me sadly astray. So now my prices are in the six figures, which is to say I don't sell anymore, and enjoy painting all the more.
