HOW TO START

Actually, this Blog Post isn’t about how to start but how to keep going. I believe once you are moving along in your chosen profession staying at it and growing you acumen is a matter of refining direction and tweaking speed. This requires daily monitoring, action, recording and collecting of results.

That means taking practical, real steps toward your goal. That means you need to know what the goal is. I could envy people who play sports because the rules are all agreed on and everyone who plays knows what the rules are, or are learning the rules and keeping them. Truly, I don’t envy them I respect their dedication, aptitude, strength, and persistence.

As an artist, I set the parameters of my work. What will I make how long will I work and what happens to the object or thing that is made.

Sometimes the vista is enormous with an ever-expanding potential and reach. For example my website Lilacflows.com is a creative project itself.

I know how my website works and how to maintain it, but it can’t do everything I want it to.

I find it difficult to share my work. Why?

My current goal is to sell my paintings.

And I am not sure how to do that.

That’s it for today! Good Luck out there, and God Bless You.

I painted Wind D several years ago. There are two others of the same size. #paintings #LisaEFigge #abstractart

Keith and I talked about what he saw in this painting named Wind D. He sees a man in green pants and a red shirt bent over. I see a mother rocking her daughter in a chair, then tucking her into bed and telling her stories of a sailor walking against a mighty wind. Then the child drifts off to sleep with the images still playing. What do you see?
