A Painting a day

I was asked the other day whether I paint all my pieces myself, or if I had a crew working for me. At first I found it odd that someone would ask that.After a few moments I understood what he was referring to.

I like to work by the painting a day concept.Where you finish a new painting everyday.Sometimes if they're small I might do two or three. I'm very lucky to be a very fast painter(unless I'm using oils).I paint by feeling out the canvas with little hesitation. It was an old art teacher of mine that taught me that "the worst thing that can happen is you have to start over again".

I also like to paint in different styles.It's the freedom of selling your own work that helps me to fight boredom as an artist.One day I might paint florals and another abstract.When I was doing more gallery work all I did was landscapes and I can't imagine doing the same thing for 40 yrs.

The ability to capture the uniqueness of differing styles to the point that it seems several people painted it is kind of cool. So I'll take it as a compliment.
