Being a artist is like being a farmer sort of.

I have been thinking about the cycle of life for producing art. The big time of the year is always the fall markets leading up to Christmas, that seems to be the time to sell just about anything. Then Jan Feb and March set in and things cool off. This is when the cycle of recovery, reflection, and recharging happen. Then it's back to work. But what I've found is there is a similarity to farming. It's like this, you spend five to seven months making and getting ready for the Fall Harvest so to speak. This is the time to make the work, to burrow down in the studio, and produce. The funny thing is our fast pace world wants everything now now now all the time. I'm glad to live a slower paced life I think waiting can be a great thing. Well not to go on to long but I hope people who keep up with there favorite artist know their different work schedule and look forward to the time of year when new work is ready to be displayed and all the hard work shines through. Just to prove I have been busy here are some commissioned works that have been the focus of my studio hours lately. cheers...
