I enjoy the spring more than the autumn now. One does, I think, as one gets older.

Not sure who the artist is of this comic. If you know, lmk so I can give credit where credit is due.

This is so true. I can’t imagine creating for the sole purpose of “show and sell”. There has to be deeper reasons to dedicate a lifetime to art besides ego and/or paying the bills.

I keep a huge percentage of my art private for many reasons.

1. I paint and draw A LOT. If I posted every painting & art journal page I make, I’d have to post here several times a day, and nobody has time for that.

2. For me, it’s simply enough that I made it, I don’t require more from my personal art than the satisfaction it brought me to create it.

3. I like to think of the art I make for myself as a gift I’m giving to myself. I don’t generally share gifts other people give me, so why would I share the gifts I give myself?

My artwork is available on Daily Paintworks, Etsy, and eBay.

You can also find me on pinksky & blsky, where I post multiple times a day.

I’ve also been posting notes here on Substack in between these longer posts.
