Definitions and Rewards
As I sit here thinking about events of the past couple of weeks I find myself recalling something that happened to me about a year ago. I was working at a retail farm store in the southern part of Illinois. July and August in Southern Illinois are very hot and humid especially in an old building with no air conditioning. Think Okey Fanokey Swamp without the cool breeze. I'd been putting up stock all day long in the seasonal department when a woman approaches me with questions about Japanese Beetle traps. As I turn to answer her query she literally looks me up one side and down the other. This woman was obviously making judgments about me and the value of my information based on my appearance. I've been wondering what sort of conclusion she came to based on her reaction. Did she deem my appearance satisfactory to warrant my advice on Japanese Beetle traps of value? Could she from her judgmental Point of View conceive that the person standing in front of her was a professional oil painter. Would her mind reel with the knowledge that the person she had visually judged and juried has her own web site with links to the Saatchi Gallery in London. As I tell her that the only thing Japanese Beetle traps do is draw the pest to your yard could she understand that I'm a graduate student with people seeking my artistic advice and instruction.
I don't wear a beret, nor do I wax poetic about things. I don't wear my identity as an artist on my sleeve or on a t-shirt. I have often had to work odd jobs to make ends meet. These jobs do not define me nor my mode of dress. The work that I am creating this is how I define myself.
With this in mind I'd like to invite you to view my painting “Green Door” at the Swope Art Museum in Tere Haute, having been accepted into the 65th annual Wabash Valley juried Exhibition. Further, I would like to thank the Joint Board of Directors and staff of the Swope Art Museum as well and the judgment of the Award Sponsor for choosing my painting for the Indiana State University Permanent Collection Purchase Award.

Recognition by the Illinois Arts Council
I am very happy to announce that I have just been accepted into the Illinois Artisans Program.
The Illinois Artisan Program was created to focus national attention on the art and artist of Illinois. The Program markets Illinois arts through locations at the James R. Thompson Center, Chicago; the Museum Store at the Illinois State Museum in Springfield; the Museum Shop at the Dickson Mounds Museum at Dickson; and the Southern Illinois Artisans Shop at Rend Lake. This new oppertunity will ensure greater public access to my work. I invite everyone to come view my paintings in person. I will post dates and locations when they become avaliable.
I am busy creating a new studio since we moved to Carbondale and have two new paintings on the easel. I hope to create a slide show for these paintings and will be posting them here.

Price Reduction
Price Reduction
A gallery association coming to an end means that I can lower my prices. I have removed the very high commission rate I was being charged from this gallery. Now I can pass on the savings.
I must say that when I signed the contract with this "gallery" a 50% commission seamed a little high but I know this is almost a industry standard any more. My disillusion with this gallery started three months later when I was informed I was expected to create, print, and distribute brochures about his gallery. I informed him that it was not in the original contract and was not going to do it. Needless to say the six months went buy with absolutely no sales.
Show Update
I have been working so hard for my boss that I come home exhausted. I have not had the strength to paint for several months now. I have let my paying job get in the way of my art. This is not what I wanted when I started this job. My bosses new assistant confided in me that on the weekends he brings in movies to watch. Last years sales were $59,000. This year I shipped out $159,000. My boss gives me a $50. gift card for reaching $100,000. What really irks me is my bosses boss thinks that I am reaching these shipping totals to easily and I need higher goals. I wonder how many people they are going to have to higher when I quite.
