I got a call a little over a week ago and was asked to be the Featured Artist for Art in the Park in Twin Falls coming up this weekend on July 14th and 15th. Needless to say, I'm still waiting to wake from the dream and find someone has taken my cookie away. LOL! … Continue reading Art in the Park

Reflection of you in your art
What does your art say about you? If you are being authentic and putting all of yourself into your art (not just producing for some commercial reason), then you are putting bits of you into your art that you may or may not be aware of. Has anyone ever pointed something out to you that … Continue reading Reflection of you in your art
Branding as an Artist
I've spent days debating on where to start my blogs regarding the art business. However, since Thomas Kinkade has made the news lately, I think I'll start with branding. Branding is nothing more than how a customer views a business based on how the customer is treated. How many times have you walked into a … Continue reading Branding as an Artist
The Bright Spot
It was Day 2 for Art in the Park in Twin Falls. I'm tired now, but it's a good tired. I think I'm a little sunburned too! Either that or it's the warm glow of meeting lots of people.

You can start by reading about the newest painting there and how the painting was started in January 2009 but how I couldn't have … Continue reading The Paintings of Sacred Knight
The Final Frontier
I completed this painting on the first day of the Thousand Springs Festival. A group of kids that came around as I started it and then again about the time I finished it. I loved watching the amazement on their faces. I enjoy it when kids get into art. One girl at Thousand Springs stopped … Continue reading The Final Frontier

There are droves of people jumping into the art collecting arena. It’s no longer a passion and hobby reserved for the rich and … Continue reading Art collector? Join the growing number!
Thousand Springs Festival – Part 2
Day 2 went well. I'd heard other artists talking about how traffic at art fairs was always down on Sundays and they didn't expect to make many sales. Strangely enough, I did better on Sunday than I did on Saturday. I believe it's not how many people are there, but rather what they are looking … Continue reading Thousand Springs Festival – Part 2
