Peace of mind, painting what feels good

When you sit down to paint, I think initially you feel good as an artist. You have come this far and can feel that you want to express this feeling as you create. To me though alot of times, you can convey this, but alot of times you can't because of the noise that is going on around you. So imagine that you sit to vine and cheese, but the next door neighbor happens to be racing his race cars outside, or someone just bought a lot of groceries and slams almost all their car doors shut just as you are touching up the colors on the canvas.

So just get to the brilliant feeling already

These days time is money man. People know what you are going to say before you say it and when it comes to selling feeling, I would want to know, how do you say what you feel in art and get away with it. I think that standing in front of art and talking you are mostly just holding our mouth open and waiting for the other person to come up with something so you can say, "That's right"

So I painted something that was valuable

So in reaching for that perfect feeling, we have all seen it before, the person that paints something stupid but it feels good. They used the same stroke over and over again on a canvas until it killed them and they finished and it was so stupid that all you could do was look over the price, to which you smirked it was 300.00. Why tho? What is so stupid about that. Because I just killed myself to see how it was done and I must say. The feeling of simplicity happens to be, well worth $300.00.

So did you come up with something

So I would imagine that so many people have tried to come up with something that feels good and that sales. I mentioned that I have and I have. The painting is this smooth blue yellow up top and pink and green on the bottom. Simple strokes all thru. Maybe it is the paint that is soothing. Because you immediately become a noodle around it and get a simple smile. I just hate to leave my creative other paintings aside tho. What about them? Well, I guess in time, I'll have to create them to feel good, well basically.

When paintings are not with a simple feel I think that they can come across as too solitidal. I think you want it to have simple feelings, so that a era of peace flows within and around.

In all I think that as long as you are committed to being a better image of what you can be then you will get better. I think that keeping color concepts in mind and keeping with pace and simplicity are keys to making that peaceful painting that sells and you should be happy when you master this or at least come up with something that you gave a try. The loud ones that really don't know are cool too, you just have to keep figuring out what live means. In the mean time don't feel bad about what makes money in painting.

The ideas are to find mores ways to create the colors that keeping creating those feelings and bigger notions of what it feels like to keep these in mind as you shape your painting career. I am just saying if you have a few of these in your collection that it really should not matter.
