Now that I have set non-negotiable studio hours, I need to allow myself to be supported to create art.
About Me
I love painting. I have a driving force within me that strongly urges me to paint, it won't let go of me... lol. I have to paint! This is why I have recently committed to non-negotiable studio time in which to paint.
While I'm busy painting, I also need to be busy bringing home the bacon, well, maybe bringing home the lettuce as I have gone vegetarian. That's where you come in. I could really use your support in helping me live the artist's dream of creating everyday. Although, this is something I am doing now and have to do anyway, it sure would be easier if I could pay the bills, fill up my gas tank, and eat while I'm creating, not to mention have money to simply enjoy myself doing whatever I want to do just for fun with friends, family, and other members of my community. And, I seriously need to move into a larger living space with a studio. Right now I'm living in a one room studio apartment, which is stretching at its seams as I create more paintings.
My Current Creative Urge
The urge inside is to create large abstract paintings. I can paint 3-4 of these each month, as each one takes 1-2 weeks to create.
I also paint landscapes from my own photographs and en plein air. My media of choice is acrylic. I create digital works as well, which I enjoy.
What I Want and My Offer
Sooooo.... what I'm thinking... wouldn't it be lovely if I could find folks–patrons and collectors–who would just Love to help me keep on creating and living the artist's dream? A monthly recurring money stream is what I'm talking about here.What I will offer is a combination of in-process photos of my painting process, videos of my process, the photos of completed paintings, and I will paint original paintings for you at a discount for pre-buying. All of this will be offered at different Reward levels. Of course, you can donate anything you like, you don't have to follow my reward system if that doesn't work for you.

How Patreon Helps You to Help Me
Patreon is like an ongoing Kickstarter. Instead of supporting one product, you sponsor me, and my work, with a monthly amount that you set yourself, or take advantage of my Rewards I have created with you in mind.
The rewards start as low as 1$ per month - and the rewards are ongoing, too! You get to see artwork sooner than anyone else, in-process photos and videos before I share them anywhere else, greeting cards, discounts on originals, prints, and commissions. I will create a video of any painting you commission or pay for as a Reward that will be for your eyes only. No one else will see this video of my process unless you show it to them. Go to my Patreon Page to see the rewards to and pick yours!
