PAINTING A DAY PROGRESS

So here I am... I began this new journey around 7/29/2013 and today is 9/3/2013.  I have painted 34+ paintings in this span of time with a new Gallery /Store on this site and paintings for sale at auction on eBay, Etsy, Daily Paintworks, Wanelo, 3+ blogs, Tumblr, Pintrest and the list goes on.  It is not just about the painting but also about the marketing if you are going to live off of your passion.  My painting is what stirs my soul and gives inspiration to the day.  It is just about the only time that I feel peace and joy watching the paintings take a life of their own,  The creative process is the spark of life for me at this time.  I constantly work at creating a presence for these new paintings on the internet.  I have debated with myself about pricing for a 6"x6" original one of a kind painting... I felt that $100.00 for each painting was not a whole lot since art in my eyes is priceless.  It brings a story to life, a joy to the beholder or maybe just solace for the broken heart.  Why does art have to go up in price once the artist dies?  Why not bring the artist the money to continue creating doing what he/she loves while there is the life breath?  So here I am... The journey of Painting A Day continues...
