Daily Painting project


This was a painting that I did a couple years ago in a class that I took. I used Alkyd oil paints on this one. I am currently working on a Daily Painting project using oils to improve my painting skills. It all looks so easy, but doing Alla Prima work requires much more knowledge than I currently possess. Or experience, or both.

Have you Googled yourself yet?

Unless you have a last name like mine (Company) you can obtain some useful information on how far out into the world you are reaching by simply Googling your name or user ID. I have checked on this periodically over the years that I have been online so as to keep tabs on my progress or lack of.

On Etsy, YouTube and eBay I have always used debcoart as my ID. eBay still seems to come up with the highest rankings in the search when I use that ID search criteria. I'm still hanging around 5,000-6,000 'hits' even though I closed my eBay store. So I'm not making a lot of progress with my online presence.

It's handy to be able to abbreviate your last name, but with a word like company...millions and billions of items come up when I Google search Deb Company and Deborah Company. It would be absolutely fabulous to have MY personal name come up millions of times...all pointing in the direction of my websites and stores, but it looks like it's going to take some time to get to that point yet. LOL!

We all need to continue dreaming BIG! Projecting confidence, when inside we don't really feel it. Pretending is a valuable skill. Pretending, daydreaming, imagining, envisioning are all a necessary part of our lives as artists.

Each of us creates our own universe in which to exist. Sounds deep, doesn't it? It's like being a little kid again and playing. It's only when we take life too seriously that we become something other than ourselves. Artists and art lovers are very special people. Thank you for being here.

Doom & Gloom

Many of us get into the Doom and Gloom of it all....the economy, poor art sales, woe is me. I do have those experiences myself, still, although I snap out of it rather quickly anymore. It's more than just the power of positive thinking, or the law of attraction, or good karma....it's about SURVIVAL.

We will never make it in this world and have an enjoyable time of it if we don't take responsibility for our own thoughts and for creating the kind of existence we want for ourselves. You really can't do a lot as far as controlling other people, or their existences, only your universe. Which isn't very bloody little after all.

I've had people tell me that they 'can't control their thoughts' and it all just keeps happening like a gigantic slide show. Fire your projectionist! Tell that fellow to bugger off and take charge. Forget the anti-depressants and mood enhancers, alcohol, recreational drugs, caffeine, nicotine, and pain killers.

Life has ups and downs and that is the simplicity of it. Trying to feel blissful and joyous ALL the time doesn't seem like a realistic goal to me. But for heaven's sake, don't wallow in self pity or become a permanent resident in the Slough of Despond.

Have a positive experience occur in your life? Blog about it.

Have a happy accident which lead to a new artistic breakthrough for you? Blog about it.

Had a horrible morning/day which you then turned around into a good one? Share these things with the world.

Help yourself and others to look on the bright side of life (whenever I say that, I think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail LOL) Each of us CAN make a difference in the world simply by creating some positiveness and happiness and spreading it around.
