Motivation is different for everyone. As an artist and entrepreneur, it's essential to continue to create. I can't wait for inspiration to strike; I have to make it. It has been a little challenging this year because I haven't had the opportunity to show my art in person or host an event for my fans and collectors. I get so much more work done when I have a deadline. So in January, I reached out to my friend and artist, Sybil Archibald, and told her I wanted to do an event with her. And that became the motive for my new body of work. I also have accountability partners, and recently I used a service called Focusmate for additional accountability. I scheduled an appointment for 8 am Saturday, and a nice man from South Africa showed up for a 50-minute session. He worked on a complicated email while I worked on a painting. I have been finding new and innovative ways to motivate myself. I'm eager to share my art and music to delight and inspire you–to help you experience a better quality of life. When someone feels tremendously moved by a piece of my work, it is a gift for both of us. It’s very motivating.
Quarantinis and Quarantunes —available in 18 x 24 or 24 x 36 inches. I show them above in colored mattes but you can frame them however you like
During a very unusual year, I've managed to do a lot of good work. I am so excited to see you in person and share with you this coming weekend at the Warren Court Art Walk. It’s going to feel so good to be together! I'll be offering a limited edition Giclee print run of my concept drawings of Quarantinis and Quarantunes. They look amazing. I'm taking orders now. Get yours while they last. I've also got a bowlful of new wild cherry paintings to show you. If you can't make the Art Walk, schedule a private studio tour. If you're fully vaccinated, like me, I'd love to give you a big hug!
