About My Process..

First and most importantly, I have to say I love all my customers, past, present and potential. I love working with everyone and getting to know some of their stories and likes. Painting has brought me in contact with some wonderful people...98% of the time. ;)

Often, people ask me questions about my painting process. At one show, there was a lady in particular who I spent a good 20 minutes answering EVERY question she had and believe me...she had a LOT. But, I was happy to share with her any information I could...it was fun to have someone who I could talk with about this...just like my old best friend and I used to do. So, I shared with her everything, from beginning to end, anything she wanted to know I told her. I knew she wasn't going to purchase anything from me because in our conversation she told me she would like to start painting on windows.  And then...her last question to me was: "So, if I do exactly what you do and price everything half of what you do I'd probably sell twice as much as you?"  GASP...I couldn't believe what my ears just heard! My answer: I just smiled and said, "Be my guest." and she walked away. 

I couldn't believe WHY she would say something like that! It just felt rude...after all the time we had just spent talking...all the questions I had just answered for her...and gladly! Why, all of a sudden, would she say such a thing? Well...that was that and I learned my lesson.

Ever since then, when someone even starts to question me about my process I clam right up...and I don't anticipate that changing anytime soon. Now, I tell people it takes research and a lot of patience. But, most of all...it takes a few mistakes and personal preference to get it just as you want it...YOUR style and YOUR way. I feel that art is about the artist and the rest is just interpretation.

Enjoy whatever hobby you choose and remember...there's really no right or wrong way when it comes to art.
