New York Times Article

Late Summer Path
Today's painting at The Painting a Day Project
SOLD

Many of you know that I also maintain another blog called The Painting a Day Project where I post small daily paintings for sale. It's the same concept as the Flower-a-Day series I featured here. If you're a frequent visitor of art blogs you probably already know about VA artist Duane Keiser who is the originator of the 'painting a day' idea. You may also known that there are many other artists, myself included who paint and blog everyday. Yesterday, the New York Times ran an article featuring artist/bloggers who do a "painting a day". I was fortunate enough to be mentioned and saw traffic to my blog explode to 10x what I normally get!! This is the third time I've been published this year, the first two were The July/Aug. issue of Domino Magazine and on July 30th in the Lexington Hearald- Leader(also on-line at Kenbtucky.com) It's really amazing how these small paintings have taken off and are so well received by the general public. I think it's a great thing, bringing original art down to a size and price that most people can afford. Art enriches our lives but shouldn't just be for the rich!

Oh Ming...perhaps a note with a gentle reminder to the paper about giving credit where credit is due is in order! All publicity is good publicity only if your name is on it!!
