<p>Hi Richard,</p>

<p>Hi Richard,</p>
<p>I liked your example of how freely Josh shares his music with the world. It's a very freeing and trusting attitude to have. It's also being in touch with your deeper self and knowing that everything will work out just fine. <br/><br/>I loved your own art story how you met an Aboriginal and started to see things differently. I would love to hear more about that story if you would like to share please. <br/><br/>I love painting for painting sake and as yet not promoted my own art. I guess in some ways I am like Josh who just goes with the flow and at the moment, I am happy just painting when I can paint everyday. <br/><br/>However, I am always scouting the internet for new ways to do things and I have come across several ways people promote their art. I would like to share the work of 2 artists that in my opinion have caught the essence of what art is all about. <br/><br/>I came across this artist who painted the same scene over a period of 5 years until he had 365 paintings. The paintings are small but the collection as a whole is an extraordinary achievement. Kevin Macpherson later published a book about these little paintings which he entitled "Reflections on a Pond". So maybe it's the little things we do everyday that is the secret to success. <br/><br/> Here is the link to this amazing idea.. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_GmeOiGQvE" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_GmeOiGQvE</a><br/><br/><br/></p>
<p>Another charming idea which is also based on little paintings also over several years is the work of an English painter, Julian Merrow-Smith, who moved to France and paints daily. To date he has painted over 1,700 paintings and he had several press interviews as well.<br/><br/>Here is another link to someone who also thinks outside the box and also paints small.<br/><br/><a href="http://shiftinglight.com/about.php" target="_blank">http://shiftinglight.com/about.php</a><br/><br/>I certainly hope that my two penny bits of information will help you to broaden your own horizons.<br/><br/>Patricia from Tassie<br/><br/><br/></p>
