Helping To Make Memories

HELPING TO MAKE MEMORIES

I just love what I do.  I have had so many people tell me thank you.  Thank you for preserving a memory they could have lost if it wasn't for the painting I did for them or the painting they purchased from me. Creating a landscape the person lives near or has lived in, in the past.  A portrait of a loved one. A Grandmother,Grandfather,Mother,Father that has passed.  Painting a portrait of a child that will change, as you know very quickly.  Freezing a moment in time.  Being able to put dimension into a painting This makes my client happy and me very happy too! When I am working on a painting or portrait I admit, I have in the past only tried to think how I can do a great job on this painting.  I would think about how much I enjoy the process of doing the painting.  Only when I have a client see the painting for the first time and see the reaction is when I see how my work contributes to the happiness of another person.  I have to admit it is surprising to me.  I was only thinking about me.  How self centered is that?!  If you are an artist you never know how your work will contribute to the life of the client you are talking to now and the people that see your work in the future!  I believe we are given powerful gifts to make the world a better place.  I urge you, no matter what you do, do your best in whatever work you do and you too will not only make others happy but yourself also!

These are examples of a paintings that made a clients very very happy!

The Road Home Art Landscape Oil Painting Country Hay Field Christmas gift Wedding Gift Summer Road Home

I have been spending a lot of time in the great outdoors this summer.  The skies have been absolutely gorgeous!  I was fortunate enough to get a shot of this scene.  This is at a farm I own in southern Indiana.
When I saw this scene it seemed almost spiritual to me.  The title came to me as I looked at the sky.  The title "The Road Home" could mean to someone, the road to their earthly home that may seem familiar, or a road to heaven.  It was a very humbling experience!

Title: The Road Home
Size: 16 inches (H) x 20 inches (W)

Stairway To The Sky

Original Oil on Canvas Fall Landscape Painting

Oil on Canvas
16 inches x 12 inches


To purchase this painting CLICK ON THIS LINK

I am fortunate where I live to have access to beautiful landscape
subjects year round.  Here in Indiana the seasons provide artists
with changing colors and a new picture almost every time you
visit the same area.  I came across this painting in
my studio I did in the fall.  I remember I was very moved by the light.
Light striking the leaves in a such a way that made the landscape
seem to be providing a Stairway to the sky!

Figure Drawing - Original Brown Graphite Sketch Female Model

Figure drawing with  brown toned pencil on heavy archival paper.

Often I do a pencil sketch, a value study in preparation for larger and more complicated painting. I find that these more spontaneous pieces have a personality and elements not always found in the final painting.  I am now going to be offering sketches for sale.  I will be posting new sketches often.  As always, I use only archival materials. 
This original drawing is on 10in (w) x 12in (h) paper, but the image will beautifully fit in a standard size 8in x 10in mat opening.  Mat or frame not included.

Keep the "Thank You" greeting or you may choose to say on the front of your cards what you want to tell your loved one, friend or client. You can for example say, "Thank You From (Your name or business name). When ordering, just put in a note letting me know what you would like your cards to say!

You might as well say spring is here!  The days are getting longer and the weather is getting a little warmer.  I have buds coming out on my trees and my irises are coming up nicely.  I love to wake up to the birds singing again!  This has inspired me to do more floral paintings soon.  I am finding a big interest in pink flowers lately from my clients.  I just might do some pink roses etc.  I hope you will "Follow" and check back to see what I am working on.

Pet Portrait

Pet Portrait

Here is a portrait of a little guy (Scout) that my client purchased today.  I was very happy with the fact she was thrilled with the outcome!  (the original looks much better than this photo) This little guy is very young and was so sweet and very patient with me as I took his photo's.  By the time I was finished, he was so sleepy he couldn't keep his eyes open!  It was a real pleasure painting this precious pup!

Article For Artists

Reasons 2012 Is The Year
To Think Seriously About Putting
Your Art Online

...even if you think a brick and mortar
gallery is the best option, think about
selling online!










This "Coffee" original oil painting is available.
                   CLICK HERE
 to see this and several other paintings
 and prints and notecards to purchase!

___________________________________________________________________

1.  Numbers Don't Lie - 3 out of 4 people are not only using the internet daily, they are increasingly using the internet for shopping.  People turn to the internet for options they simply cannot find in their local areas.

75% of the U.S. population alone are using the internet and the numbers are increasing daily.

2.  Our 2012 Lifestyle - We’re a culture of instant gratification. Ideas pop in our head and we want to execute them immediately.  If we are to compete in the climate, we need to have our work "out there" for people to see and purchase. Make sure your audience can feed their “on demand” appetite with your art!

3.  Mobile Friendly - Make sure your art is mobile friendly.  An ever increasing number of people are using Smart phones, and use them to check updates such as Twitter and Facebook throughout their day. 

4.  2012 is the year of Commerce - A increasing number of brick and mortar businesses have realized this and not only have physical doors open to the public, but are utilizing the internet for increased sales. 

Many people I spoke with did all their Holiday Shopping online and with great results.  These people and many more will be following the same route.  One person can tell another person of a great deal or wonderful item they saw and purchased online, and this person purchases the item also.  She/he passes on the good news and...well you get the picture! I myself have a studio where the public can come in and purchase prints,paintings, notecards, etc., but I realize how important the internet is to get someone to actually come to my studio to see the phyical thing!

5.  Control Your Presence Online -  Whether you realize it or not, people will research your history.  Be careful how you come across to people in the social network situations.  Let them know you can be trusted with purchases.  Do you have a return policy.  How is your artwork shipped?  Is the item safely shipped in secure packing?  People want to know when they get your art, you did all you could to get it to them without damage.  People do not want to take the time to repack and return.  I know shipping companies and postal services sometimes do not treat things with care.  Pack as if your art will be thrown off a bridge!

What are you waiting for?!  Now go out there..be seen..and most of all..have fun!!

Pet Portrait A new commission I am working on.

One of my New Year Resolutions is to blog more.  I thought one thing I could do is show you one thing I am working on at the present time.  A new client commissioned me to do a pet portrait of her precious puppy.  This puppy is less than a year old and was an absolute sweetheart to work with.  He was happy, friendly and very cooperative.  More cooperative than some people I have photographed!  Here is the referance for the painting I am working on. 

One thing my client wants. is a very neutral, timeless and very classic look to her painting.  It is a real pleasure painting this little guy! I hope you check back for more blogs and to see the finished painting!
