| Commission started of a ranch in west marin |
What a busy September! I thought I was going to have time to paint, and ended up working for 3 weeks, assisting local friends with contract production art. I absolutely loved getting to visit and work with
Nutiva (organic superfoods) in Pt. Richmond, California. They have a great office where they have Yoga and healthy drinks and foods several times a week. They have a succulent garden and a full veggie garden where many in-house workers harvest their salads for lunch each day. I really enjoyed meeting their marketing team and assisting with some label mechanicals and fun projects too. I can't give away company secrets, but it was a nice place to work.
So, I started this first commission of a West Marin Farm. This is the first day's work. I am planning to finish it this weekend, however, kids, homework, Halloween and all kinds of excuses seem to be getting in the way.
I even started a new website for myself that will work well on mobile devices, and added an e-commerce
"SHOP" feature to the site. The below page is the EXHIBITS page of the site, where I realized I have shown at more than 21 places around the Bay Area, many of them not even listed... I was thinking I forgot the Civic Center and the Veteran's Memorial Auditorium, and a few more...
All this marketing effort for my own business takes a lot of time. I can't even imagine what it would be like if I could really "just paint". That never seems to happen... not yet, at least!
