Several months ago, I was contacted by an Israeli fashion designer,
Assaf Pelleg. He was designing his 2017 Spring/Summer Line, and wanted to use one of my paintings in his work. I agreed to work with him, and we found two of my artworks that were of interest to him.
For several months, I heard nothing! Then, suddenly, an email with the completed designs.
I am thrilled with the results!
This is the fun part of what I do. I sometimes struggle for days, over a specific artwork. Just this week, I have worked on a piece for 3 days, and scrapped it this morning! Then there are the boring hours, after hours, of internet work. Taking photos, editing them, posting them. Sometimes it seems the reward, is not enough to justify the effort.
But then, one day, a painting effortlessly falls off my brush, or a student sends me his power point presentation about how he was influenced by my art, or someone on the other side of the world, likes my work enough to place it in his collection.
That is the payoff!
Thanks for reading my blog today!
