So… I’ve started listing some bookmarks up on eBay. They’re all original paintings even though many of them share similar designs. The first one is this “Green Goddess”. If you’re interested it’s here.

I keep coming back to images like this one. A stylized tree inside a circular design. I haven’t posted much art lately. Not because I haven’t been making art. It’s that a lot of it was unsatisfactory (bad). Then I got out of the habit even after I was making art that I did like. And then I thought I should try and do it in some kind of chronological order. Excuses. Excuses. Anyhow this is Daniel Smith watercolors on Winsor and Newton Coldpress Professional paper. It’s about 3 by 5 inches.

Just a quick sketch playing with colors and trying for “looseness”. Overall I like it but I’m always nervous about intense colors. I’m never sure how they will be seen by others. But then I remind myself of all the hideous color schemes I’ve seen in art museums.
About three inches in diameter on Winsor and Newton Professional paper. Colors are Daniel Smith Quinicridone Violet, New Gamboge Yellow, Pyrrole Orange, and Pyrrole Red.

A nice idea for marketing art.

Occasionally I will run across a Facebook marketing group that will advocate doing a “link-tree” or a link exchange. The idea is that the participants will put their name on a list and then share links to everyone else on the list with the understanding that everyone else on the list will also share a link to you. I regard these link exchanges as a very bad idea. I try to follow Seth Godin’s philosophy of marketing, which is that you should strive to become a valued source of information for your readers Every link that you post on your Facebook page, blog, etc. should be something that you personally are enthusiastic about. Posting a host of links to merchants that you know little or nothing about is selling advertising at best and spamming at worst. That’s why Google will penalize sites that engage in link exchanges.
Now for a link I do believe in: Seth Godin’s blog.

Before on the left. After on the right. Making some revisions too adm older piece especially around the right eye. Not quite done yet but close.
Just a quick sketch I’m thinking of expanding into a color drawing.
