People often ask artists how long it took to paint a painting they might be interested in buying. What they don’t take in to account is how many years, how many lessons, how many paintings did it take to get to this point? One of my friends, an industrial designer once told me it took years of practice to get to the point where you could do something in a limited amount of time. I think that is so very true! When I first started painting I used larger canvases and most likely wasted a lot of good paint on them, but they helped me define what I now enjoy doing.
