some time latter
I’m back, since last post I’ve moved out to the countryside of Cooperstown NY and bought a home. My wife and I also had a baby girl, I cannot believe she’ll be 2 in not so long a time. Time gets away from me so easily lately it’s frightening at times.
I honestly hadn’t painted since moving until last weekend. I felt bad for it but I always felt as if I would be neglecting my wife and children if I locked myself down in the basement (where I setup shop in the new home) and went into my own world. I realize now that all I was really doing was depressing and denying myself. I’ll attempt to get a picture up here at some point once the painting I did on Saturday is drier, the two I took are much too glare ridden to post.
I’ve removed my paintings from Zatista. I’m not really sure any online art sales sites are worth it anymore, they all seem to simply be awash with reproductions and knock-offs or they are so cluttered and difficult to navigate that a sale is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Updated the links, added the ability to rates posts, changed the layout to an even simpler one, removed my side pages (no one ever clicked them besides), altered the subtitle down a bit.
I may go and change the title itself after posting this, not sure yet if I want to generalize this blog so I can post stuff more often or if I want to leave it specific to painting. A part of me wants to also post about other stuff as well but I’ve been burned in the past by doing that. (At one time I was a wannabe writer for a site called “Disappointed Idealist,” my poems were actually very popular there but it ended up closing, I became less angst-ridden, and took up visual arts instead.) I even limit my activity on social networking sites because of this. (You wouldn’t believe how much friction you can cause by putting agnostic into your religious views on facebook!)
