BTW, I've just, in the past few days, created a Facebook page - not sure why - to parallel this blog. I think I'm supposed to "dual-post" entries like this. Maybe so Facebook-not-blog-readers get to see it?
And why DO we blog and post? I think I need to think about that. Why do YOU blog?
First off, I don't think this is going all that badly. It's not over until it's over. I frequently post works in progress on my blog. Not because I'm that confident but because my visitors love to see a painting 'in the works'. It's also a commitment on my part to see the thing through, no matter what the outcome. I also decided a few years ago I don't want to be that artist that gives the impression everything I create turns out to be successful. I know for a fact that some very successful artists occasionally produce a dud because they will admit it and I admire their honesty and that makes them relatable. BTW, I'm happy to see you on FB! I have my blog networked into Facebook so every time I update my blog it can be seen on that site as well.
ReplyDeleteAs for blogging, I chose blogging to create an online presence for myself and to showcase my art. Also because I couldn't afford a website. LOL Websites can tend to become very static and honestly, I enjoy the feedback a blog can offer. It's also a marketing tool as is Facebook. Some years I've sold more work via Facebook than at the gallery.
So that's the NEXT thing I will need to learn: how to have my blog posts show up on Facebook. Hope it's easy!!! Thanks for the encouragement, Billie.

Hi Katherine,
ReplyDeleteI do know why I blog. I do it because I get to see work by people like you. It sounds like you were having a bad day, but your work doesn't show it at all. I love works in progress, and have a lot of them on my blog right now. Take care,
XOXOXO Barbara
