No More Potatoes

There might have been a question about a river painting that wasn’t selling. It might have been: “Why do those rocks look like potatoes?” 

The answer might have been, “Because you are hungry”.

However, Nancy at Kaweah Arts and I concluded that her customers tend to be visitors to Sequoia National Park who are more interested in paintings of sequoia trees than of an unfamiliar section of the river.

When it is dry, I’ll scan it and try to remember to show it to you.

“There is no try—only do, or do not.”

Be quiet, Yoda. I didn’t ask you. I didn’t even like your movie, so why do I know this? In fact, I don’t think I’d recognize you, so mind your own beeswax.

  1. Buh-bye potatoes, hello Sequoias!

    Or, like that old Simon & Garfunkel tune (yeah, I’m that old), “Keep the Customer Satisfied!”

    • Sharon, all I could think of after “hello Sequoias” was “Hello darkness my old friend”. I did really like that river scene and want to photograph it every time I walk past when the light is good. Sigh. Earning a living as an artist means I paint what other people like. The challenge is to make it. . . WAIT! Never mind. I think that is a good topic for a blog post. THANKS!

      • I’m sure you’ll grab a good photo of your river scene some day. Maybe in the spring when the water is high(er)?

        And you’re welcome. Shall I expect my consultant check in the mail soon?

  2. Thanks for the fascinating behind-the-scenes reveals! 🙂

    • Laurie, thank you for checking in! Not only do you get a behind-the-scenes look, you get a behind-the-eyes look into my weird little mental conversations.
