Why I’m doing this, creating a permanent page or post on my site with listings of my art for sale, when I have sorta the same thing on Fine Art America, is an answer with many components, all of which dovetail into one main thing — time ♥️

There’s a moving list of the reasons, and some days any one or the other of the reasons is “the most important” lol!

But if I had to choose the propelling reason that’s pushed all the other reasons into joining it into prompting me to finally do this, it’s simple —

Creating the image listings
Unfortunately, formatting a paintings gallery page, based on my initial attempts here on WordPress, is gonna be a bit of a learning curve for me, lol! Especially considering the number of styles and individual works I have over the last 40+ years. Another good problem, yes, but something needing solving 😊

For now, starting with a few listings and adding to them incrementally to my site here, then, even more incrementally, to Fine Art America. I’d definitely like to have them listed both locations if that works out.

I think the image portion will take the shape and look of this below (though I’m not sure how they’ll be listed; probably multiple pages with my landing page as a jumping point; as is the case with my regular posts) —

Sample listings below, even if potentially in a smaller visual format, we’ll see 😊 —

My Most Immediate Tentative Plan For Now
What I will probably do, for now, is create a general page or post, with a format like above (posts can be converted to pages in WordPress, but I need to research that more), with samples of the styles of paintings from different decades of my work, with a link then to more detailed pages for each grouping or style.

The general page/post can be “anchored” to the top of my landing page, so that’d be good.

I think I should start with a sample of various styles of current work ( abstract, figurative etc) so I can more easily and immediately create and link to the more detailed pages/posts for each type of work.

*

Pricing My Art
Pricing is another problem, since it would reflect work sold through all kinds of venues – galleries, artist clubs ( Creative Arts Society, etc), public sponsored artist venues ( the Old Bakery & Emporium, ie, run by City of Austin ), online (Fine Art America) & even festivals — and I’d like one price for each item covering all outlets.

*

But I wanted to be an artist, I can hear my guardian angel say, lol! So that’s where I’m at ❤️

Take care everyone! Things are getting dicey again, virus-wise. Be safe, have fun!

And may we all juggle all of that successfully! 💕

• January 20, 2022 – How I Applied Dianne Mize’s Art Tip, The Visual Path, To My Work-In-Progress, Part 2January 20, 2022
  As mentioned in my prev post, my then problem and now radical solution in re to a painting I’d struggled with, done the most I felt I could, and was still quite unhappy with, began after reading then reblogging Dianne Mize’s most recent art tip, The Visual Path, plus some reading I’ve been doing in The Adjacent Possible, re listening to one’s creative needs and acting on them. I’d wanted to add a violet toned painting to one of my ongoing series, one involving 12×24 panoramic monochromatic impressionist abstract work. It began well enough, with….
• January 19, 2022 – How I Applied Dianne Mize’s Art Tip, The Visual Path, To My Work-In-Progress, Part 1January 19, 2022
  It began after reading then reblogging Dianne Mize’s most recent art tip, The Visual Path, plus some reading I’ve been doing in The Adjacent Possible, about listening to one’s creative needs and acting on them. I’d already begun a new violet lay-in, destined, I thought, to be called Violet Impressionist Abstract 1; all along the lines of my other mostly-or-all monochromatic impressionist abstract work I’ve posted about ( my red and blue samples further down ).
• January 18, 2022 – Reblog / Review : Working the Painting Language – The Visual Path, via Dianne MizeJanuary 18, 2022
  Dianne’s continuing series of tips and samples of painting’s language of line and shapes and so much more, including, as per this reblog of her most current post, The Visual Path, have been a source of inspiration for me for quite a while now, and this is no exception. She provides not only the 2 examples in my header, but an entirely different style image, one from one of my favorite painters, John Singer Sargent, and ties it to the two simpler – yet in principle – similar images top of the page.

• January 16, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, Fantasy Landscape – New 16×20 #LyricalAbstract #AcrylicPaintingJanuary 16, 2022
  Fantasy Landscape is currently residing at the Old Bakery & Emporium in downtown Austin across from the Texas State Capital. It’s a super playful acrylic I didn’t realize would be “so much” a landscape as it turned out, lol! All part of the “discovery” process inside each artist, often call the landscape inside, probably in more senses than one, as Joan Mitchell has alluded to.

  Third of my 3 uploaded acrylic color blocks, each 12×24 inches on gallery wrapped canvas, Blue gives me a triad of sorts, the other two paintings being red and yellow. A link to related blog posts is – https://felipeadanlerma.com/?s=Impressionist+abstract I’ve always like panoramas, even in my….
• January 14, 2022 – Painting + Capturing Photos of the Sides of 2 #ImpressionistAbstract Panoramas Accepted by Art for the People Gallery AustinJanuary 14, 2022
  A few posts ago I announced about my art audition for an upcoming show at Austin local gallery, Art for the People, and mentioned I’d had a couple of my Impressionist Abstract panoramas chosen! One, the red version, already had its sides painted, but the newer blue version didn’t, so I got to work right away. Like I tell folks who like hearing ’bout how I put these together, painting the sides almost always takes as long or longer than the painting! Why?

Thanks again, everyone! 😊
