create a new painting or paint at least twice a week

Hmm so lets see, not there yet but getting better, painting once a week so far.

After watching the cove I decided something needs to be done regarding all this dolphin mess. I first thought of organizing a protest, then making another movie, then writing a book and finally, painting. Since it’s what I do best, why not give it a go. I am planning to paint a few pieces depicting what happened in Taiji, and display it at the local gallery. I hope it sells because I’m planning to send half of the proceeds to the group that made the movie and is still working to educate people.

Donating art to art auctions for charity events is a great motivator to paint more!

this one never sold at the auction, of which I am relieved because I kinda wanted to keep it <:D

I don’t quite make a painting twice a week, but I do paint very regularly these days. I’ve been trying to paint seriously for about five years now. I’ve learned the more I put myself in a successful situation, the more I succeed! I’ve sold over 30 paintings and I painted live to a band last night. I feel great about the whole thing.

Last night I painted to my friend Matthew Morton at the Gypsy Coffee House with Roger Jaeger and a few other crazy kids. I painted a rather large work on canvas with Acrylic to the brilliant musical flow that permeated the evening. I met some interesting new people that wanted to look at more of my paintings and I ended my night playing some accordion outside in the cool downtown Tulsa night air.

Later today I’m visiting a place called Club 209 tonight where I’m working on a live performance involving painting. It’s a great life so far and I’m continuing the push forward. With every painting I sell (like one I sold last week) I simply buy more supplies so I can keep it going!

why is this so hard? seems like I always have more important things to do. Ok, today for sure, im doing it, im doing it.

i finally finished my painting!
it matches the colors of my medusa lamp and it will be hung above the futon when i move to the new house.

now… my dad, sis, and friend all want a painting, so i will be painting up a storm soon!

After “get back into painting”, my new objective is to paint a least 2 times a week, even for 5 minutes !!!
