Welcome!
Technology does have its advantages. And as I'm creating and painting here in central Pennsylvania, you could be as close as next door or as far away as New Zealand and still be able to see and know what I'm doing and how I'm doing through this light-speed medium. I still don't have a cell phone and hope to never need or get one, but this is a conduit for my work that I want and need to have. Traveling from show to show in the summer is fun and can be very profitable. However, it is also very hard work and very unpredictable. What I mean is that after driving six hours and setting up an entire display of work, it could and has rained all weekend, leaving me to teardown and pack up with nothing more than knowledge of a good local restaurant. Don't get me wrong, I have done and continue to do very well on the road and have had lots of fun, but how can I take my work to billions of people all over the world at the same time, and still have time to paint? This is how - the Internet.
I absolutely love what I do! And what keeps me going is the love and support of those of you who think enough of me and my art to take the time to look at my work and perhaps own it - what a compliment and acknowledgement that I'm doing what I was born to do! So sit back, pour a glass of wine, stream in some good tunes, and see through my eyes and brush what a beautiful world God has created with the talent he has given me.
Enjoy my friends,
Ken
