Like so many, after art school I rejected the tantalizing career path of the “starving,” or, studio artist. Becoming a graphic designer promised a more secure and comfortable lifestyle while still offering creative reward. Now, after many years I’d love nothing more than to get to a position where I can easily side-step into a monetarily-comfortable, but more creatively-satisfying fine art career. It’s not that simple! Here are my reports from the front lines.

Sold a Painting!
I recently sold this painting. It shows the back side of Crane Beach and Hog Island in the Essex River watershed (MA). In a rather cool coincidence I did this painting “The Snowless Winter” some years ago when we were having a mild one. This year, when we are again having a record mild and snowless winter someone is touched by this image and scoops it up. I think it surprised both me and the gallery owner (winter is usually slow). You just never know how long it will take for the person who will identify something in your work that resonates with them to stand in front of your painting.
