Back to the business of BEING


I can't believe I have allowed so much time to elapse since my last post. Lets be real, me allowing, had nothing to do with the passing of time because it will move at its own pace regardless.
Anyway, there has been activity, doing, work, shows and doubt - well you can't completely stop the voice that looks out for it's own best interest. 
I have updated the website and it is definitely worth a peek. I have included a section for original pieces that are more accessible financially and even cooler are the "new" note cards that are available for sale and are perfect for the holiday season.

I know at this time there are no subscribers to this blog, (probably since I have yet to promote it) but my hope is that a few of you (the hundreds that have been to my website) have stumbled across this blog and checked it out in its current stage of infancy.
To check my "hope" I am going to offer one of my paintings for free in the spirit of sharing, the holiday season and to keep things fun while promoting. If there is interest I may continue the practice as a monthly theme. That way I can create additional space for new work to show up in my studio and at the same time share artwork with people who are interested in my work.
Stay tuned this week and I will upload the painting being offered. I will request you email me @ john@carmanfineart.com with your name and in the subject field it should state December Artwork Offer. I will determine a method to keep the drawing random.

Finally, for this post I am exhibiting one of my recent pieces "Midwest Morning" (shown above).
I love the feeling and flow that came alive in this painting which I became even more present to when I stopped struggling - which happened partially through the piece.
I am going to keep the spirit of this painting alive and recreate the same theme and flow in larger formats in the near future.
There is a part of who I am in everything living and the energy and expanse of a landscape takes me home.


Until next time.
John
