ART SOUP

A recipe for excuses that you can serve anytime of year

Ingredients

  • one large project
  • a number of small projects
  • a squeeze of time
  • reduced desire to succeed
  • a dash of taking the easy way out
  • a disorganized studio
  • a large jar of lack of focus
  • a minimum sense of commitment

Directions

In your mind, combine your lack of focus and your disorganization and place them in the center of your studio. Using another part of your brain mix a reduced desire to succeed with a squeeze of time and spread this across your large and small projects until completely coated.
Pour the mixture over your lack of commitment  adding a dash of taking the easy way out on top of the whole mess for decoration.

Procrastinate until you are ready to STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND REALLY DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR ART

Show Your Work

This past year I have been lucky and unlucky enough to have sold a number of pieces. The Lucky part is HEY I’m an artist and it feels good to sell artwork. The unlucky part is that I sold them as I was getting ready for two shows. I felt they were going to be the centerpieces of the show. That’s when it struck me. I’m not setting up a museum so that the art can be viewed. I’m trying to sell my work.
Somewhere along that long line of chasing the show and dealing with a very slow economy I lost site of what I was doing.  Sure I want people to see what I’m doing and appreciate my visual voice but I also want them to have the work in their homes. So I guess what I’m saying is take a breath, show your work and enjoy the results.
