Charleston Living – A Softer Touch

by netGALAXY Studios | Apr 8, 2014 | Art Instruction, Fine Art, Motivational, Portraiture, Theatre Related, World View

A Softer Touch Here is a readable .pdf of the recent article in Charleston Living, beautifully written by fellow art spirit, Jason Zwiker.  Or if you prefer, just scroll down.  I hope you will read and share the message of the article, which I think describes our...

Cate Portrait is Finished

by netGALAXY Studios | Apr 5, 2014 | Art Instruction, Fine Art, Motivational, Portraiture, Theatre Related, World View

Cate and Friends This portrait of my darling Cate depicts a world where all is well and all is one.  Aside from completely repainting the face from the previous version, I have added 14 creatures to the painting, not including the Holy Spirit, seen in the upper right....

How Do You Put a Value on Art? “Don’t blame the marketing department. The buck stops with the chief executive.”  John D. Rockefeller I recently blogged about the valuation of art.  Many find the commodification of one’s creative output...

Perception is Everything

by netGALAXY Studios | Mar 14, 2014 | Art Instruction, Fine Art, Motivational, World View

Low-balling Art Is a Flop I’ve been running a little marketing experiment lately.  I’ve been offering recent demo paintings for a much lower price than one might expect to pay at an art fair or even a framed print in a frame shop.  Very often, these demo...
