My Spring 2016 ART PROMO GAME UPDATE: ON HOLD UNTIL May 5th!
Hi Everyone, Hope that you all are awesome!!!
I am holding our game temporarily for some good news and then some not so good news.
#1 - Good News = I have been asked if I'd like to participate in a local upcoming Festival (more details soon) and I need time to get my set-up & inventory ready.
#2 - Bad News = Both of my little girls are sicky (nothing serious) & have to keep them home a couple of days to get them healthy.

I hope that you all can return when we re-start our game May 5th 2016 (Hey, that's still Spring).

Don't worry, I'll still be painting and sharing with you my artwork and a lot of my process pics and I hope that you all let me know what you think in the comments..as I go along.

Thank you so much! This is going to be exciting!!!

Spring 2016 Art Promo Game: on my Facebook page

4/15/2016

Hello Everyone, Hope you all are doing awesome!

I have been running an ART PROMO GAME on my Facebook page "Chris Bell Art Page"
I hope that you will decide to join me over there and play!

The following images are today's (4/15/16) painting, "Violet Dreams", #7 in the 30 painting series! Plus some process photos from my work earlier this morning. A little surrealistic flair on this one. Enjoy!

I am a Working Artist!!! I am, I am, I am! Spring 2016 - New Art Promo Series!

4/11/2016

Hello, Hope that you all are doing Awesome!!!
I have been busy in the studio with an Art Promo Series.
Am I an ARTIST?!? "YES I AM!"
Do I want to make a living as an ARTIST?!? "YES I DO!"
Do the people I know think of me as a working artist? "I DON'T KNOW.. BUT IF THEY DON'T... I NEED TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS!"

Cory Huff at "The Abundant Artist" mentioned this technique used by an artist that he knows... They do a series of paintings based on a theme. So, Cory explained that the artist usually did a 100 painting series with the first painting starting at just $1 and then the price of each subsequent painting in the series increases by a dollar. So, painting #2 = $2, painting #3=$3....... and the last painting in the 100 painting series cost $100...
Cory reports that this artist found this to be an exciting way to generate a "Buzz" about her art.. and led to her having a growing audience excited to see her next painting..
Today this artist continues to do her painting series but now her prices start much higher than $1... and she has a steady dedicated following. Her earlier supporters have seen an increase on their minimal investment... GOOD FOR THEM!!!

So,.. in the hope that I can do the same and also to get the vibe out to the universe that "YES!" I do indeed SELL my paintings. My paintings are WONDERFUL and DESIRED!... and all those other positive affirmations.. I too am hosting an ART PROMO on my Facebook "Chris Bell Art Page"!

So far so good! I have created 4 beautiful paintings and have sold them all to date. The theme for this first promo is "Flowers" very good timing for the Spring season.
I suppose the biggest thing, other than selling artwork, that I want to accomplish is.. I want the people I know and the people who meet me to consider me a "WORKING ARTIST"! I do not consider myself a hobbyist.
The following are the images (thus far) of my Spring 2016 Art Promo 30 Flower Painting Series.
Thank you for reading my blog post!
Please Enjoy these images!
