Time @ the Computer
Posted in daily painter, tagged full-time artist on May 29, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
One of the secrets that is seldom revealed by full-time artists is the amount of time you must spend doing computer and/or paperwork. If we could just paint and never worry about all the other “stuff” it would be so much easier. I spend several hours a day looking at this.

The Dog Walker, oil on canvas panel, 14″x11″. A few weeks ago while down at the river painting I turned around to look behind me and there was this gentleman walking his buddy. I had to take a photo quick before they were gone down the trail. I just love they look.
