Ways of coping living in a tiny town where no one ever/rarely buys/looks at your paintings/drawings.
6. Quality, not Quantity.
Well that’s my motto, anyway.
Friends, clothing, food.
But particularly in the production of art.
Prolific whilst being particular.
Today’s good thing was a chat with Bill and Janet from Banbury, who are probably the only people EVER to come into my studio and NOT say, ooooh, these must take you a long time to do.
'We usually go to Chipping Norton for Arts Weeks,' Janet said, but we missed it this year and came here instead, '
Bill particularly liked my Anti-Pope drawing.
I’m always slightly anxious about how it will be received, as it calls Benedict the Filth a plague-mongering, pedophile-protecting nazi boy (I have such a disliking for the Pope and all his nonsense, I made a little film about him)
'You like that, don't you?' said Janet to Bill while Bill was smiling and looking at The Pope.
'I think Richard Dawkins would like it too,' said Bill.
'Yeh,' I said, 'and probably Sam Harris and hopefully Christopher Hitchens.'
Then Janet asked for my card.
'Chris would like these,' she said to me and Bill, telling me Chris was their son.
'Well, I hope he does,' I said as they were going out the door.
'He will,' said Janet, 'oh, yes he will.'
And then, because I sincerely meant it, I said, ‘Pop in next time you’re in town. We usually have a sofa here and I’ll make you a cup of tea.
