Acrylic portrait painting
Work in progress
I’ve spent a lot of time in the studio this week. It’s like I’m trying to catch up from not being able to paint much over the holiday, and now it’s hard to make myself stop painting. Full steam ahead!
When I’m painting, it really helps to have something on in the background to give me something to think about while I’m working. Sometimes, it’s music. I LOVE music, especially non-stop, commercial free music on 8 tracks. But, I’m also always on the lookout for long youtube videos..something I don’t have to attend to while my hands are covered in paint, and as luck would have it, I found these two guys, Jason Horejs, and Barney Davey. I’ve been listening to them non-stop ever since. They have regular Google hangouts, and discuss topics that are of interest to artists. In this video they discuss blogging, and I was kinda surprised to find out I’ve been doing it all wrong.

I was under the impression that I should be blogging every day, or nearly every day, anyway. I even feel a little guilty if I don’t get a chance to blog. Well, no more!! These guys say it’s best to blog once a week. Once a week? Whut? That sure would save me a lot of time each day. Maybe I should consider it? hm..
What do you think? How often do you blog? Is once a week enough to say all you’ve got to say? For me, I don’t think it is because I’m a daily painter. I consistently have work to show, usually a huge backlog of work. However, I’m thinking I wouldn’t mind shrinking my blogging down to say Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. My posts will be lengthier, more substantial, but it will take a load off my shoulders at the same time. It’s certainly something to give some thought to, and anything that would ease up my work load, I’m all for it. 🙂 I think I’m going to give it a try.
