My art has really been all over the place and sometimes I don't know what to work on next; which in turn makes me lose my inspiration and I end up just not painting. I have been reading some books on business and doing a little more research lately (since making money at art is a tricky thing), and what I have come to realize is that you have to have clarity for success. I look at my portfolio and I think, 'This is the opposite of clarity.'<br /><br />WHO AM I? What kind of art do I <span style="font-style: italic;">really</span> want to do at the end of the day? These are the big questions I have been pondering...and will continue pondering. <br /><br />But I have come to some conclusions; basically I am a big dork at heart. I would rather do fantasy art than anything else. Not just because I want to live in my own head (don't you, considering how horrid the world is), but also because I love stories and I really want to tell stories through art. Also, I can paint the greatest variety of subjects, while still staying within one category of art. I love all kinds of art so I must practice some discipline and build a portfolio in one area. <br /><br />So, in conclusion, you can expect a lot more fantasy art from me in the future! I would love to do more illustration work in the future; book covers more specifically. But I think commissions are going to take a back seat to my artistic dreams. Haha! Commissions pay really well but they can be a pain, and I would rather have a good picture of my future as an artist then chase every dollar to be successful...<br /><br />So that's my rant for the day. Thanks for listening, or not... ;)<br /><br />Lydia<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3517824908954262520-8314943089313441246?l=lydiasartblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-sW4SOpTcMIrPVQTEPH4DuCWYrY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-sW4SOpTcMIrPVQTEPH4DuCWYrY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-sW4SOpTcMIrPVQTEPH4DuCWYrY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/-sW4SOpTcMIrPVQTEPH4DuCWYrY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LydiasArtBlog/~4/ltPVL2rmxnQ" height="1" width="1"/>Lydia Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05197275301893015765noreply@blogger.com0http://lydiasartblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/who-am-i.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517824908954262520.post-89460398428995683972011-03-06T11:20:00.000-08:002011-03-06T11:24:31.746-08:002011-03-06T11:24:31.746-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fYrRHZtUcJ8/TXPe89rZgMI/AAAAAAAAAI8/tA8U1UL1s4s/s1600/WineandFlowers_sm.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fYrRHZtUcJ8/TXPe89rZgMI/AAAAAAAAAI8/tA8U1UL1s4s/s320/WineandFlowers_sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581049502172283074" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uGeqeyqxiMY/TXPe8TsYTXI/AAAAAAAAAI0/AcN1CQc06Fk/s1600/Sunset_sm.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 254px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uGeqeyqxiMY/TXPe8TsYTXI/AAAAAAAAAI0/AcN1CQc06Fk/s320/Sunset_sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581049490902109554" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DSrXfrO6eEU/TXPe8C4a1rI/AAAAAAAAAIs/WKRfj2XUTUM/s1600/EyesLikeStars_sm.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DSrXfrO6eEU/TXPe8C4a1rI/AAAAAAAAAIs/WKRfj2XUTUM/s320/EyesLikeStars_sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581049486389204658" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ugGqNoSHCns/TXPe8MVmh2I/AAAAAAAAAIk/nPmW7EOtq1s/s1600/BedofFlowers_sm.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ugGqNoSHCns/TXPe8MVmh2I/AAAAAAAAAIk/nPmW7EOtq1s/s320/BedofFlowers_sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581049488927524706" border="0" /></a>SHAZAM!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3517824908954262520-8946039842899568397?l=lydiasartblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/L84esY9ZPZJa_mkO69AxQQQ0kvo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/L84esY9ZPZJa_mkO69AxQQQ0kvo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/L84esY9ZPZJa_mkO69AxQQQ0kvo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/L84esY9ZPZJa_mkO69AxQQQ0kvo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LydiasArtBlog/~4/N0XyuQVKufI" height="1" width="1"/>Lydia Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05197275301893015765noreply@blogger.com2http://lydiasartblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/recent-paintings.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517824908954262520.post-20731206989528112272011-03-06T11:16:00.000-08:002011-03-06T11:19:44.171-08:002011-03-06T11:19:44.171-08:00Wow!

It was slightly nerve-wracking thinking about painting in front of people. What if the painting sucks? Right. But it ended up being a lot of fun. And I am gonna do it again this Saturday. <br />It took a while to get the extra monitor set up correctly but I got, eventually. Most people were completely confused by what I was doing. They could not comprehend that I was actually drawing on my computer. Come on people, with all of the amazing things technology has allowed us to do, you cannot comprehend that I can draw on a tablet and have it show up on my computer screen?

You don't have to like the painting, just practice, practice, practice!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3517824908954262520-5426927021906364523?l=lydiasartblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8qtZkXLnci73ozW8t5i9vtZy02I/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8qtZkXLnci73ozW8t5i9vtZy02I/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8qtZkXLnci73ozW8t5i9vtZy02I/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/8qtZkXLnci73ozW8t5i9vtZy02I/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LydiasArtBlog/~4/ml8NXImVuZs" height="1" width="1"/>Lydia Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05197275301893015765noreply@blogger.com0http://lydiasartblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/practice-practice.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517824908954262520.post-70441073157828744362010-10-03T13:18:00.000-07:002010-10-03T13:21:46.211-07:002010-10-03T13:21:46.211-07:00Hey, everyone!

And...drum roll please...you can buy it (along with some of my other pieces) in the Bangor Mall!!! If you live near Bangor, Maine that is.<br />I have a little spot in the Maine Crafts store for my art. I am pretty psyched.

I was walking into the grain store the other day and this attractive blond woman and her 8-9 year old child were walking out. As they are stepping out the door, the nicely dressed mother says to her pretty blond child, in a harsh and exasperated tone, "Honey, God put animals on the earth for us to eat."<br />Now I am not a vegetarian but I was shocked! I stared at this woman mouth agape, as I held my 9 month old child on my hip. I could not believe that she had just said that to her little girl, as if it were a completely logical and obvious argument. I turned to my baby girl and said, "Ivy, I will never say something so ugly to you."<br />Humans really make me wonder sometimes.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3517824908954262520-2447707886191252966?l=lydiasartblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uLRROU7E51_qBDfy2WBd9JsJHJc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uLRROU7E51_qBDfy2WBd9JsJHJc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uLRROU7E51_qBDfy2WBd9JsJHJc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uLRROU7E51_qBDfy2WBd9JsJHJc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LydiasArtBlog/~4/MyihoiP37zQ" height="1" width="1"/>Lydia Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05197275301893015765noreply@blogger.com0http://lydiasartblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/story.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517824908954262520.post-68631165365289640712010-08-29T04:12:00.000-07:002010-08-29T05:28:03.946-07:002010-08-29T05:28:03.946-07:00There are many advantages and disadvantages to having access to artists work from all over the world. I find that lately I am somewhat overwhelmed with the amount of art out there. Don't get me wrong I love the freedom of information and I have learned so much about art online. There are so many wonderful artists who are willing to share their work and their process.<br />But sometimes there is so much information it is like sensory overload! <span style="font-style: italic;">What style suits me? What subject matter? What imagery do I enjoy and what inspires me to paint?</span> Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed I don't know which direction to go in next! I find sometimes I need to stop looking before I lose my identity completely. Then I will work on a piece that I really like and when I go to upload it all of a sudden it looks terrible to me, and I get so frustrated! Why do I do that to myself? Just because an artist in France is my age and a better artist than I am? Who cares! Well, apparently I do, and it is stupid, I know.<br />So there are advantages and disadvantages to having the art of millions all over the world at your fingertips. I guess the ultimate question for every artist is, "Why do <span style="font-style: italic;">I</span> create art?"<br />So, <span style="font-style: italic;">Lydia</span>, why do you create art?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3517824908954262520-6863116536528964071?l=lydiasartblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/icf-Okn3bYJv4zsthTd0uXqCQE0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/icf-Okn3bYJv4zsthTd0uXqCQE0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/icf-Okn3bYJv4zsthTd0uXqCQE0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/icf-Okn3bYJv4zsthTd0uXqCQE0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LydiasArtBlog/~4/K4gwRgt8jgI" height="1" width="1"/>Lydia Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05197275301893015765noreply@blogger.com0http://lydiasartblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/world-wide-web-of-art.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517824908954262520.post-6149632195286422962010-07-20T13:48:00.000-07:002010-07-26T10:46:07.256-07:002010-07-26T10:46:07.256-07:00I have gone fairy crazy!
