nampa Farmer's Market, this Saturday, october 1, 9am-1pm bringing 18x24" & 20x24" larger works.

The original works of art, showcased here on my website vary in  prices which appear to have ‘no rhyme nor reason’!  I have  always been prolific in my creativity.  It is what I do.  It is my  life.  At this stage of my career, in my tiny house, I paint every  day.  Not just one, but often several.  My mind is filled with so  many ideas and visions of pieces that want to be set free onto  canvas.  My goal these days, is to tackle that which I’m least  comfortable at rendering.  With each canvas panel, I set out  with a particular goal, and work diligently to accomplish it,  keeping in mind, the excitement anticipating the outcome.   Creative play every day!  Challenging my mind not only with my  creations, but with my writing, posting, listing and all that goes  into sharing these creations.  Challenging my physical  abilities with all the markets, shows and exhibits transport, set up and tear  down.  Yet another goal intended to ‘keep on going’. If a finished painting falls short of what I set out to accomplish,  well, I say it’s ‘cheap’ as in $20!  Sounds silly, I know!  But I am  the artist.  It is my prerogative!  The piece may be quite beautiful, but it  wasn’t the outcome I was after.  I don’t often rework a piece.  I  simply call it ‘done’ and move on to the next canvas.  The pricing is relative to the goals I’ve set for myself to improve  my painting skills.  After several pieces, I will use the knowledge, techniques, paints  and tools that I discovered while playing, and create a work  that was worth all that experimental effort!  There you have my  artistic license in setting monetary value to my work.   Everyone is unique in their enjoyment in music, art, fun and  play.  It may appear to you that something you consider  extraordinary costs too little, while another which doesn’t  appeal to you the ‘cost too dear’.  You might now have an  insight to the mysterious processes of my artistic mind!
