Collaboration and Inspiration

Sometimes I can go for years without creating a single piece of artwork. And then suddenly...seemingly out of nowhere...boom! There it is, almost like a waterfall, gushing forth, unstoppable, overflowing. I am there now, in that place of moving forward at a very fast clip, effervescing with inspiration. It makes me wonder how I could let myself get so distracted with so many other tasks instead of painting, it is so much a part of who I am. Ah yes. Survival mode. And, it's an old tape. "If you want to be an artist, you'd better have another way to earn a living." I keep hoping it isn't true, but how long have I been at this?

But I think I may have finally figured it out...I'm getting closer anyway. I call it the synergistic collaborative approach. "Art for a Cause." It's an online gallery, so I have no overhead. I can share my proceeds with like minded social entrepreneurs for worthy causes. I'm very excited about it.
