The Price of Paint

I know I know. I am supposed to finish last weeks post about what you do when you can’t find your natural artistic connection to your work. I am putting it on hold for at least another week. The reason? Like I said in the first post, I am not sure where I stand on the issue. I do not want to just throw a bunch of B.S. at you. I want to really have a good conclusion to my feelings. Bear with me and please think about it yourself and send emails or post on the blog with your opinion.

“Punch-In” and Paint

I think this will be more than one blog post by the time I am through with the subject. I might not even do it in sequence. This week I am going to talk a little about the problems professional artists face when they cannot emotionally connect to their work.

So,are you an artist? If so have you found anyone who will put up with you for more than a few weeks? How about months, a few years or even years on end? If so count yourself lucky. I sure would not put up with me. Not a chance. I am way too selfish for putting up with my spoiled moody artist attitude. Not to mention all the manic ramblings and near, oh be honest, completely narcissistic look on my life. Lets not forget others now. Far be it for me to fail and apply standards I would not, and will not, apply to myself to others. After all the world is “our” picnic and if we want to eat the cake before the deviled eggs we sure as heck can do just that. Right? We are artists!! We have the official, culturally approved license to be total self-absorbed jerks...ahem...eccentrics. It is our birthright!

Well here we are with the first post on the new stuckeyart.com website. Before I go any further I want to thank my designer for all the hard, hard work that has gone into creating this site. As you no doubt noticed when you got to the site it is very clean and very utilitarian. Meaning that it is obvious exactly how you should navigate the site and only presents you with what you absolutely need....
