Explaining my art in just a few seconds is not easy. Every artist needs to figure out what is called an “elevator” pitch. How can I hook someone in a very short period of time so that they will be interested enough to go and check out my paintings? It is not so easy to do. Part of my challenge is that I like to paint such a variety of themes. Flowers, birds and still-life’s make the top of my lists…but other topics sneak in randomly. It took me awhile to codify my watercolour flower paintings to I ‘paint summer sunshine all winter long’ (as winter is very long in Yellowknife). I think that works quite well to explain in a simple way what painting flowers make me feel like. I am quite happy with that. Now birds are relatively new to my painting life and I have yet to come up with that perfect phrase that captures how I feel about painting these amazing creatures. I love their antics and how sometimes we don't even notice them around us as they go forth creating new life and living their lives. Maybe you can help me to find the perfect phrase to explain my bird paintings. Check out more bird paintings HERE and comment below what strikes you when you first look at them.
Thanks for dropping by. See you next week Friday.
