I was at the shop where I take my work yesterday. I found out I sold a work, a nice feeling. There has been too much emphasis on getting work out and copies of work haven't been made. This is the wrong decision on my part. Several works have sold over the last few months and I haven't made copies. New directions demand documentation and it hasn't been done. Last month I created a number of graphite and watercolor pieces. They sold quickly and this surprised me. The main reason the work was done was an experiment. I have been following the work of another artist and I wanted to play around with pencils to see what happened. The result was better than I expected.
There is a show coming up at the end of August and I need to get some new work together. The question then becomes what should I do? Should the direction be graphite and watercolor or pen and ink and watercolor?
About Me
- Dale K.
- I am learning to share my artwork over the net. This is all new to me, so bear with me. I have been creating small watercolors of inspirational quotes for a number of years now. I work in a small format to simplify the works. I use a Rapidograph pen and Winsor and Newton paints. I spent some time in art school and still kick around the idea of going back.Art is a wonderful gift and I want to share it with others, I hope that my work reaches people in a way that my words can't. For me art has always been about healing. A way to move beyond the ugliness that sometimes exists in the world and to create something beautiful. I know that I may not create a work that is beautiful to everyone. I hope at that point the words may bring something to the experience, they are words that have meant a lot to me. Hopefully they say something that may reach others as well.
