On the web high way

I've had great response to my Santorini paintings which I am very pleased. Its so nice enjoying your work especially when other people enjoy it too.
I was asked to write a blog about a year ago to go along side my artwork and now I am finally doing it I must say its a little easier than I thought it would be. Today I am drawing the outline for my next Santorini painting as well as writing this of course. I am starting off with A4 size paintings, if they go well I was thinking of doing an A2 sized one. It is easier to get more detail in larger paintings and people do prefer to hang larger paintings on their wall. Even though selling my art is my business I rarely take that into account when creating the art. Producing these paintings is both very hard and very easy. Art can be so contradictory. Its easy because the building are very symmetrical and drawing straight lines is easy but its hard because the composition of the picture is hard to get right. Especially because in Santorini there are a lot of stairs and windy paths and detail to go along side. getting everything right is painstakingly long. It does not help that I am a perfectionist and I will not rest until I am happy with what I have produced. After I am happy with my drawing, then comes the painting which can be so relaxing and an utter joy or a complete nightmare. one little mistake and my concentration and relaxation is out of the window. Once everything is done, my little signature goes in the corner and I am very happy. After all this its time for the critics.
