Tips For Artists

One of the things I want to do this year as I posted in my last blog,
is to try to be a positive influence on the people around me. I also
want to be a positive influence to people that I "cannot" be around,
such as those that read my blog. I know there are some people, other
artists for example that would like some tips. I teach painting from
my studio, and would also like to help those here with tips they can
use. One such thing that is on every artists mind it seems, is promotion.
I spend part of my day painting, the other part promotion. I recently
came across a wonderful site that has lots and lots of links for those
that just do not know where to start. I use many of these things
myself and have found they really work! I read some new things
I want to try this coming year!

Well Christmas is over. A new year is quickly coming up.
I have been thinking about what I want to do next year. I always
make resolutions. Get more organized is one. Keep up with
my record keeping. So far...well let's just say, next year will
be the year!! Ha-ha!! I want to do even more promotion and
make the best paintings I can possibly make, but I think the
most important thing of all is to remember....life is short. Enjoy
each day as it comes and try to be a postive influence on those
around me.
*
*
I hope you have a very POSITIVE year!!!

Portraits by Patti Trostle

*
Any one who knows me, knows I love to paint!
I post paintings and prints for sale on my web
site and here on my blog almost daily. But my true
passion lies in portraiture. I have met so many
nice people that have commissioned portraits from
me. I have sent portraits all over the country and
I am truly honored when someone likes my work
enough to have one of my paintings or portraits
in their collection. I have to stop and think what
my grandfathers paintings meant/mean to me. He
is no longer with me, but a feel like a piece of him is still
with me when I see his work. I hope I can give
people the same happy feeling when they, or their
future generations see the work I have done for them!
*

portrait work/paintings, please go to my web site at:

"LONER" sold today!!

I sold this little painting today. "Loner". I am so happy to
give it a new home!
(Thanks Jennifer!)
To see other paintings, archival prints and notecards

***
I love red! This goes along with the title of this painting really.
The meaning is, there is a difference between being alone and
being lonely. I love to be alone and work on my paintings. Painting
is (besides my son and animals) my biggest passion. Red is
the true color of passion!
***
I get a real thrill shipping my paintings all over the world.
It is fun to ask myself while I am working on a painting, where
will this painting go? What kind of home will it have?
Heartwarming to think about it! I love thinking that my
work is making someone else happy! ♥
***
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!
