SEO For Artists

There’s a common adage in the writing community: write what you know. Doing so gives you a wealth of material from which to draw. It adds verisimilitude to your work. That is probably a key benefit to the writer, anything to avoid the dreaded writer’s block.

The same, I believe, holds true for painting. A painting is a personal expression of the artist. That expression includes her experiences, her impressions, and her emotions of the subject matter. The resulting work is a more complex picture, drawing elements of an esoteric nature.

Next week, I’m on vaction, thank goodness. I’m traveling to a place that I’ve visited for many years and truly love, Door County, Wisconsin. While there, my camera will be my trusty companion, recording my many adventures. Then, I will take these photographs, along with my experiences, and create personal works. My paintings will include the unseen elements that only one who has visited would know. I will bring a sense of authenticity to my work.

So, I put this challenge to other artists: find that place that you love. Experience it and bring it to your art. Let us experience your joy.
