I have been trying to think up ways to take my art to the people. Another artist had shared with me his experience of painting in parks and even a beach in Italy where he met his wife, while painting. He told me people would come up and ask what I was doing and basically a crowd would form around me. Ha, I say. I did not cause a riot or get bombarded with people clamoring to get to me. I actually had one child come over to see my watercolors since she had painted with those in school. I had a nice conversation with her and her nanny.
However, I did enjoy painting in the park and getting out of the studio. Taking my art to the people, not so much. Maybe I picked the wrong park.
Any ideas on where I can paint next?

Congrats on getting out of the studio. I like the beach.
ReplyDeleteAs far as taking art to the people, that's another story. Just being on FB, blogging, doing shows helps get your work out there. Changing my environment helps keep my work fresh. People don't always like to bother artists in the wild! Just enjoy painting. Good luck!

Thanks Dora. I remember a scene from the movie "Great Balls of Fire" about Jerry Lee Lewis where he sets his piano on fire at the end of the performance. That would get some attention if I set my easel on fire at the park and walked away. I guess that could also get me arrested. It would sure get people talking.
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, I would love to paint on a beautiful beach somewhere.
