Half Way Thru

Here we are. Half way through 2025 and Ive realized Ive been going about this the wrong way. I wanted to create a routine of creating a painting everyday and posting it to my website. I set it up where I was selling those daily paintings, which was great, many sold, but I did not like creating something that I knew I had to put a price on, so Im starting over and gonna try to just share something Ive created that day. It may not be for sale, and it might be. My very least favorite part of being an artist is setting a price to a piece, and the anxious feeling I had knowing I was going to have to sell something everyday was overwhelming my desire to paint. And that’s the main goal, to paint. Hopefully now I’ll be more eager to share my art without having to sell it. Im going to reshare the first half of the years paintings and then I will post the ones that are for sale in the section “available work.”

Week 1:

The first couple days of the year I spent putting the final touches on a series of unfinished Birmingham Landmarks.
