Are you wondering how an artist in a place like Tulare County (Central California – there is a huge area of our state that is rural, and it is my job to record and share the good things about this area) can find work to do?
How about a list today:
- Teach 5 hours of drawing lessons a week, 3-5 people in each class.
- Sell coloring books.
- Plan for and draw another coloring book (Anyone want to guess the subject?)
- Finish the 24×30″ commissioned oil painting of a Three Rivers house
- Begin and finish 3 oil paintings for the upcoming Redbud Festival (May 7-8)
- Gather and price the items to take to the Redbud Festival.
- Take coloring books to the Post Office, and check supplies at the Three Rivers Mercantile, which has sold more than 2 dozen so far. (Told you we are rural!)
- Figure out when to get with a web designer so she can figure out why the shopping cart on this website won’t provide me with the mailing address when people place orders.
- Figure out how to put a better subscribe button on this blog that comes with a freebie so that people will want to give me their email address so I can notify them (you?) when the new coloring book is ready. (Have you guessed yet what it will be about?)
- Compose and send an email newsletter to my subscribers to remind them of Redbud Festival (May 7-8) and tell them of the new coloring book.
First one to guess and tell me either in the comments will win a free coloring book of the new design!
Thus we conclude a little peek into the work of a Central California artist in rural Tulare County. Not your typical definition of “artwork”.
