- How could an artist ever run out of inspiration? I have enough ideas and reference photos that I'm not sure I could paint all of them, even doing ten paintings a day. I think I could really enjoy putting that last statement to the test.
- Why is it that artists have the reputation of being flaky and unreliable? I've had more trouble with regular, average American, business owners than I have dealing with artistic types. For example, I've been negotiating painting sales and then just have the other person just completely forget everything and not respond to me. I also wonder how it is that anyone would do business with someone like that. Maybe it's just my experiences.
- It's always a lot of work to sell your artwork or get someone to let you hang your art on their walls. I get that. If you can't get the appropriate exposure for you work just by getting on the internet, you are even trying. You can spread your art all over Facebook and God's green earth without spending a dime.
- I wonder how much attention some people pay to my art when they ask me to paint something for them that has no relation what so ever to my work. If you've ever thought about asking me to paint a vase of flowers in bright colors, you are part of the problem. If you thought that statement was funny, you're someone I need to hang out with.
- I wonder what people in the mental health professions think about the works I paint. I'm sure anyone with the least bit of training can peer right in to my soul. Kinda freaks me out sometimes
- I read that Bob Ross didn't hang any of his own paintings in his house. How can you live with yourself knowing that you think your own work is that bad? How can you paint for that long and not just say "screw it, I'm gonna paint this one for me, the way I've always wanted to paint"? Seems sad to me. Don't get me wrong, I loved Bob Ross, and still watch him every chance I get. Just seems sad.
