| I wonder if I could carve and paint a wood decoy? They want 100's for them. Might try it sometime. |
Most of us don’t create art for fame or fortune. We do it because work, life, and responsibility are always lurking in the background like unpaid rent, and art gives us an escape hatch. My own art isn’t exactly museum-worthy—at least not yet—but maybe one day it’ll develop its own weird little style. For now, I’m mostly creating just for the joy of it. If something sells, great. If not, well, I have a growing collection I can someday donate to confuse future archaeologists.
If you scroll through my gallery and see something you like, feel free to buy it or send me a message. Around $35 usually does the trick, and I’ll even ship it to you. That covers my lunch and makes me feel like a real artist for about 12 minutes. Some pieces might even have a tiny hidden story—though good luck finding it.Why do I do art? Glad you asked:
-
It clears my mind, like a mental car wash.
-
It helps me connect random ideas—sometimes even on purpose.
-
It gets me out of the chair before I merge with it permanently.
-
Artsy people are great. They think differently, dress creatively, and rarely judge my paint-splattered sweatpants.
-
It feels historically important… possibly.
-
It’s gloriously non-digital. My paintbrush doesn’t need charging.
-
It lets me express myself without having to give a speech.
-
Wildlife art rarely sells, but occasionally someone with excellent taste (or blurry vision) buys one. 😉
-
And honestly? I do it because I can. No permission slip required.
