Points North by Helen Read

Featured for the month of September

$30.00 thru 9/30/11

Points North, 5x7" Acrylic on canvas

ready to frame

Please click here for a convenient purchase link with complete details.

As a feature each month, I've been offering a small painting at a fraction of its normal selling price. In the past 2 months since I've started this practice, its seemed to be a very popular idea with everyone! These small paintings have sold quickly and those who have purchased them got a great price on a small original.

This painting was one I did with Virtual Paintout. A place somewhere on earth is given each month and using Google Maps, we find a place and paint! This one comes from the area of Fairbanks, AK,
a beautiful wooded country road with a few small flowers in bloom along the roadside.

After the end of September, if this hasn't sold, it will be available for its full price of $100. I hope it will go at its "featured price" ~ its ready to send! And I'd love to ship it out!

COPYING OTHER ARTISTS

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard this and seen this on the internet. Being a curator as well as an artist I have come across this too many times! Many upcoming artists seem to think that it is just ok to copy other artists works and concepts. Although artists do not "own" concepts, among the artists community this is definitely not what artists do. Artists work very hard to come up with concepts that other artists are not doing. This is very difficult to do. So to have another artist think it is just ok to run with that artists concept hurts the artist and only makes that artist look bad to collectors and the artists community. It will surely ruin your reputation! Is that what you want? If they would look around and see all the beauty that God has created they should have no problem coming up with their own concepts. Open your eyes! Be your own person / artist. Paint from your heart. Artists are working even harder now in this economy to make a living. As far as I am concerned, copying another artist is "stealing"! Remember this....Do unto others as you would have them do to you!

“My belief is that it is most important for an artist to develop an approach and philosophy about life - if he has developed this philosophy, he does not put paint on canvas, he puts himself on canvas.”
