Struggling

I can't seem to focus on WTF I want my paintings to be. I'm having trouble, BIG trouble. I'm feel like I'm wrestling with a couple different things: "what sells" vs. "what comes off the end of my brush". The "what comes off the end of my brush" doesn't really sell, and "what sells" is not "me". Trying to paint what I perceive as marketable just ends up being a pathetic carbon copy modification of everyone else's stuff. So I'm going to go back to crazy painting (probably) and let my brush lead the dance.

I'm just bummed that I wasted a bit of money and some nice wood in the process. Worst case scenario: cover the wood panels with collage so they don't go to waste.

When I get all creatively tense like this it usually means something good will most likely emerge.

Enough whining.

Are you familiar with Anne?
Back in 2005, when I reclaimed my art-making and discovered blogs Anne was one of the first artists I stumbled upon. Well she has upgraded to a new studio. (She's based out of Chicago).
Oh man, I would be on cloud nine with her set-up. Give her blog a visit and check it out!
