I'm Gonna Light a Candle

  I've been really motivated this week. I'm getting less and less happy at my job and I decided this was the week to do something about it. I photographed and posted several new paintings. I reopened my Etsy store ( Etsy ) and posted some new paintings from my Every Man series. My Every Man series is based on my condensing the human face down to three lines: one each for the eyes, nose, and mouth. They're really fun for me to paint and they're only 4"x2" so I can charge less than $10 including shipping. I'm pretty excited. I'm hoping this is the next step toward self-sufficiency. I've got over a dozen more to post. If you're not gonna buy one, at least tell all your friends. I'd appreciate it.

Bohemian Art Report

  I have the house to myself this week. My daughter is with her granny for ten days and my wife is in Baltimore for training. I have accomplished a lot so far, mostly in the cleaning and sorting department. I've cleared a lot of much needed square footage in my studio and I've found a lot of things I'd forgotten about. I'm afraid my goal of cleaning everything before they got back isn't going to happen. It's taking more effort than I realized, and I do have to make time for my art stuff. I'm also getting a lot of napping in. Bohemian living at it's finest.

"Look Into My Soul"

  I have done some really good paintings lately. I'm selling at least one a week. I'm still way behind and I need an assistant.
