Did another paint along, this time on Patreon with Jacob Aguair who is an amazing teacher

i got the strangest fb message last night.
i have a page w my artwork on there, tho i dont do that work anymore. every once in a while someone stumbles on it. rarely even get a like.
then i get this message thanking me for my awesome youtube tutorials.
lol'd.
then told them that they were their own best teacher, anyway.

You end up helping and inspiring so many people to continue on their creative journey!

showed a days dwgs to my life dwg teacher, and he said- these are great. do more.

i got smacked around on fb for asking for a pm from a tat artist to do a simple tat that i need. need. now.
someone challenged that word, and i asked if they didnt need art.

many unfriends.
feels good.

Leave it alone. Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get here.

the one question every artist has i 'when am i done'
the only class where they even ask it is conservation.
and sometimes the best answer there is- before you begin.

It makes me want to paint another New Mexico stormy sky.

You capture all the elements of nature in your paintings. Your rendering of sunlight and shadows give your landscapes a vastness and visual distance that create great depth. The way you create shadows and sunshine by unseen and seen clouds obscuring the sun in some places and not in others is truly inspired. I like the softness of your work as if the air is slightly diffused by humidity or the atmosphere is hazy. You’ve mastered the myriad light elements and influence on nature, whether on the clouds, the horizon, waterways and the closer objects and plants. Your paintings are exquisite and beautiful in the atmospheric style you create so well. It’s not just your subject that’s compelling. It’s how you render it. The actual brush strokes themselves and the way you blend the colors you choose are excellent and demand attention. It’s inspirational.

You are so so kind and I appreciate you so much!

then I’ll agree I’m kind. But the fact is, I’m just being truthful and honest. If you appreciate it then you just made me feel good too. Your art is wonderful!
