Advice for the artist regarding awkward remarks and questions directed at her and/or her work


"Here’s a little exercise for one of those rainy days, or nights when you're not painting.
  • Think about all the questions you have been asked about your work and write them down somewhere safe where you can come back to them.
  • Under each question write down your normal answer.
  • Then think about it for a while and see if you can create a better response that will have a more positive impact on the person asking the question.
  • Once you have developed your answers, learn them, store them in your head and use them.
  • Revisit the list when you need to add more questions and answers and to revise the ones you already have."
This is copied and pasted from Art House Reproductions web page. Good Advice and timely!



This is a piece (one of 20) I created last week using an oil stick plate, 
a pencil, a live model (Fara) and rice paper
