Deep blue with lighter hues. This piece is evocative of a strong wave in the ocean. Woosh!

I am an artist. Â I create art. Â I don’t write for a living. Â Someone asked me the other day why I blog. Â It’s a great question! Â I do not get a ton of “likes” and comments. Most of my followers are other artists and like minded creatives. Â They aren’t buying my art. Â So why bother?
Those that know me are aware of the fact that I do not do anything involving my art that doesn’t improve my chances of being seen by potential collectors. Â So I not only blog, I share my blog with all of the available social media. Â I get my blog “out there”. “In here” doesn’t do much for me. Â Sometimes my shares to social media go viral. One blog got 5000 hits from StumbleUpon in one day!
Every single day I get a few thousand visits to my blog. My blog shows up in Google Search and I can see the search terms people used to find me. Those search terms are directly connected to my intentional key-wording in my title and first paragraph. Think of keywords like breadcrumbs that lead a path right to your door. Â Blogging does work! But you have to think “outside” of the box.
Blogging is only an island if you want it to me.

The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
Albert EinsteinÂ
Every few days I open an email from another artist asking me “how did you do that?”  They want to know my techniques, my materials and…if I am not too busy…some personal instruction.  I have never felt an obligation to share my secrets with others.  To me the joy and fun of creating is to explore…try unusual things….find your art. Copying may be the greatest form of flattery, but somehow I never feel flattered when I see someone attempting to duplicate my work.  It’s almost like seeing your husband with another woman.  I feel violated.  I developed my styles the hard way….by trial and error.  I have spent many years marketing myself and building a strong following.  My work is branded well and people recognize it as mine.  So if you want to know my secret…it’s this….be your own artist….find your own voice….spend some money on a variety of materials and explore what is inside you.  Be inspired by others if you must, but always be original.  Like the quote above says “hide” your sources.  Make your inspired work so much your own that it will not be identified as someone else’s. 🙂

I’ve always been a dancer, but mostly behind closed doors. Â When I was young I learned how to square dance in school. Â But that kind of movement never moved me. Â I also taught aerobic classes for quite a few years and while it did involve some rhythmic body steps, it was not quite tripping the light fantastic. Â When I paint, I always start out with some simple jumps and steps to music to loosen me up. Â I listen while I work and take breaks now and again to get my body in sync with the melody that is currently playing. Â And I finish with my own type of dancing. Â To me art has always been a type of dance….. Â

As I am working away here getting ready for my upcoming art show and completing custom work for the Holidays, I find I have a good problem.  I had 5 original paintings on canvas that were going to be showcased in the show, but they have all sold!  So I am working even harder to create more work.  I will not list these new pieces because I actually need some originals on my display panels. 🙂  I have been moved by the support I am receiving lately.  I have collectors who say they will drive upwards of 6 hours to come to see me and that they have been waiting for me to have a show.  One person is driving across state and another is coming from Georgia.  If my people are going to come that far….I’d better make sure I have some real nice paintings to show them. 🙂  Cheers!
