New Paper-Paper Paintings and Lake Ontario Podcast

Girl Trying to Catch Fish With Hand, or The Artist 2026. Oil on paper, 11 x 14"

The new paper arrived, which has me worry less, although @jompiy and others assured me that I was overreacting. He knows of a Kandinsky on cardboard, and I’ve seen Degas paintings on cardboard at the Met. So this batch I post today has select paintings on primed paper (11 x 14"), loose canvas, and a couple left over on unprimed paper (18 x 24").
I had a couple sales at a gallery far away, which is rare, and I immediately paid off the credit I used for supplies (paper and oil paints) earlier in the week. I shouldn’t say sales are rare. Actually, I do well enough whenever the work is “out there”, in a gallery so to speak. The problem is the “out there”. People need to see the work “in the flesh” in order to be interested enough to buy it on sight. In a couple weeks, I hope to sell some paintings at a music festival I signed up for. I did well last year at the same festival, while giving away free art and promoting our movie, Saving Stuckism: A to Zed.
Today @jompiy, Emma and I had our Black Ivory podcast. We talked about many things like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring on my jar of peanut butter. You can watch it after looking at my pictures:) But I must warn you that there was a bad connection. I tuned in from the beach at Lake Ontario. The reception was so horrible that Emma was playing drums to it. I walked over to the university library and finished the podcast there.
Tomorrow I’ll be painting on fresh primed paper with some new paints too.
Always merry and bright!
