This has been a busy spring, lots of art activities going
on, exhibitions and shows in several local communities which I am participating
in. So it’s been a lot of framing and organizing of work, between that and the
turbulent weather we are having here, there has not been much brush time.
Did get this little study done, I like these long views across the plowed fields, very typical Southern Illinois scenery this time of
year. It is also a pretty good metaphor for me to keep in mind, when placing
your work out there to exhibit you need to see the long view. Like
everybody else I get impatient about the goals I want to achieve, I tell myself
my skills need to be at this level, my sales at that and so on and on. The reality is that with all of this stuff, - the
journey to success is not a sprint, but a marathon.
To find a good pace and take the long view.
