Gifts

People ask me if I give paintings away

and my answer is that it's painful

how do you give someone a painting?

paintings are so personal
your art work in your house
is how you express your personality in your home

How in the world do you give someone something that they have to choose themselves

so -- (laughing)

instead I have a house full of my own paintings

I'm going to eventually have to figure out a way to sell them
or

get bigger walls.

  2. If someone admires a painting, more than once, or really makes a big deal of it, then I might give it to them. I also have a house full of my paintings. And it's neat to go to someone else's house and think hey, nice painting and then realize it's one of mine.

    I do have some I wouldn't give though.

    And my sister hates some of mine.
