The Harmony of art.

 "There is calm, harmony, and music inside of me." (Vincent van Gogh)

That is exactly the way that I feel when I paint. I go to my happy place and the music flows through my brush in a harmony of colors. Every day that I paint is a true blessing.

My studio space is small,the lighting is not perfect and it always need to be organized but it is still my favorite place to be.

Who do you sell your art to?

"It would be asking too much to want to sell only to 


connoisseurs--that way starvation lies." (Claude Monet)

This quote made me wonder are there any real connoisseurs? I think all lovers of art are connisseurs, especially the children. Children really know what they like and why. Now that is the true making of an art connoisseur

Staying Motivated


Brown Cow
Brown Cow, painting by Delilah Smith
About This Painting: I am back on the farm again today painting away. I always wonder when I was a kid how cows could walk with such big tummies?

I still have not finished my large oil painting of a cow that I started for ArtPrize. When I found out I could  not get a venue to sponsor me I gave up on it. I will get back to painting it again soon. I just lost my motivation for awhile. 

When I went to ArtPrize this year and I saw all the empty space that some venues had I just didn't understand why so many artist were turned away?

As artist we must stay focused and motivated. I haven't stop painting, I just lost the desire to work on the big cow. I think I will finish it and take it to Ann Arbor art fair next year. I have been asked backed. Normally I would not take something that large to a street show, but what the heck it would be fun to see the reactions.Maybe iti will be the year of the cow..
