Simple, organic forms appeal to me.  This one is similar to one I posted July 1, 2010.  Have you noticed I seem to explore a theme for awhile and then move on to something else?  I have!

I really like the Wacom Pen Drawing Tablet.  There is a learning curve though.  And it takes getting used to the way it reacts. However,  it seems to be helping my back and neck some, with is all I wanted.

One of the aspects of abstract art I most enjoy is that most pieces are multi-directional.  That is, they can hang vertically or horizontally and there is no right-side up or upside-down.  Each way offers a different look.

What do you know, it's not a Beach series painting.   Probably just a temporary detour.  

Last night I attended a lecture by Alexander Salazar, owner of 3 successful San Diego art galleries.  It was held in the San Diego Art Institute gallery space.  The lecture was about using social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin to brand and promote one's art.   I am on Twitter, used to be on Linkedin and have been resisting Facebook.   After his talk I feel I need to re-think.

Alexander claims it has been particularly important to his success as an art dealer and gallery owner, an increasingly rare event it seems.   Other points were that artists should have their own websites and that prices should not be displayed and that there is no reason to produce limited edition prints.  Open editions are fine, people will buy what they like anyway.  This was a lot to digest.  He covered many other important topics.  Too many to include here.  You can find him at www.alexandersalazarfineart.com
