But at this point I am not sure if it has enough features for really great video. Let me know how your camera seems.

Not sure if the jury is out on that yet.<br /><br />I do know that the art market had not revived. Many are looking for alternative ways to make a living. A few have become essentially life coaches which is not a good sign. I think I get more art life coaching solicitations on twitter as I do from actual artists.<br /><br />I have considered slacking off on the blog a bit. Mostly because I have less to say these days. I would still like to get a good camera though! :) That could get me going again. I have two shows in November and I am worried about sales. It seems like putting a lot of eggs in one basket. I will report via this blog. Stay in touch!<br /><br />Brad Tearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311014022243382658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200138797648475238.post-57036109257090782742014-10-26T09:02:34.518-06:002014-10-26T09:02:34.518-06:00Painting with paint.

But seeing Van Gogh's work in person, he really did lay it on quite nicely! And it's not just the thickness, but the directional nature of the application to support the design. He's one of my favorites.<br /><br />I wonder if it was poisoning (lead) that was the root of his mental issues in the end.<br /><br />Nice post, Brad. <br /><br />BTW...it seems as if all my artist friends on my blogs have just disappeared. It's like they just fell of the face of the earth. (I"m not talking about you). But I wonder if some artists have gotten so discouraged at the lackluster market that they've just given up or put art away for a while. THoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
