« ART AS TRUTH | Main | GET OUT OF YOUR WAY »
A COMFORTABLE RUT
by Sandra Haynes on 2/12/2010 11:39:40 AM



Hi Friends,

While discussing some issues very early with artist friends via e-mail and telephone this morning, it was plain that we are all pushing ahead with the things that must be done with our art.

Whether it's marketing ideas or painting techniques, the learning is ongoing. As we shared ideas it was obvious just how busy and dedicated we are.

The list of projects that I'm currently working on are pretty impressive when viewed on paper, whether they are things that need to be done to further my marketing or choosing the next painting that will advance my understanding of techniques and still appeal to my collectors.

When the momentum starts to slow down and it starts to feel warm and fuzzy, my "comfortable rut" alarm goes off. It's very tempting to linger awhile in this place, but I know I'm not moving forward either.

Accept the journey that is yours alone to live.......and get out there and make it all it possibly can be.

The newest animal to make it's appearance on my easel is this beautiful bobcat.
More scratchboard wildlife can be viewed at Sandra Haynes Fine Art

"Spirit of the Woods"                 10x8"
Scratchboard                             $350

This is one of three subjects that will be used in my Scratchboard Workshops. The others are a horse head and an outdoor still life. This will be the subject of a blog soon, detailing what scratchboard is, and how my workshops are set up.


Once again, I am grateful for the chance to visit. Thanks for stopping by.
Sandra
