Artist and Clutter

Well who ever said that artist is ever so neat and tidy. I sometimes worry about artists that are so neat and tidy always having every thing so orderly. My own personal ability to keep things that way requires many things. I will have to throw out every thing I own and hire a maid I cannot afford. And I probably would not be an artist to begin with. I work, sleep, eat, study, pay bills, try to heal, tutor, as well as take care of 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bird, 7fishes and shower here and let alone do my creations. I try to give it my all, only to find out that 2 days latter I have to do it all over again. Dealing with the interruption of phone calls, emails, etc…..of drama that accruing right out of the blue. Maintaining this chaos is draining but rewarding at the same time because through it all I gain a sense of strengths to keep on with my creative works. You see through it all something through it shines of beautiful worlds of color. And for that moment that in that state of mind we care less about that drop of paint fell where? To I think I can add that piece that we tucked away for a rainy day for today. You see knowing we may not have money when spirit calls us to create become of no worry because we are prepared. Like an earthquake or some other cataclysmic thing that might and yes the word might happen. Don’t get me wrong I think that we must do this but moderately. Best advice if you cannot remember where it is and you forget you had it and don’t think or not going to use it.

Give it to someone else to give it to. Learn to share! Don’t worry remember when you need something it will come back to you!  It’s the law of the universe we artist understand what that’s about. When no one wants it then you can or throw it away all together with no regrets. But you know the toughest thing about it I find is the time to do it. But when you do! Its like I have in the past it really feels good. But for artist such as my self we find that doors open to new worlds and new adventures. So don’t give up I know not going to you shouldn’t either! We could as artist to take the dive in to the world of possibilities of some state of a clear mind.

Old Friends

I have been thinking about those who have come in and out of my life through out the years. Those whom have remained to become friends I must say I have been very blessed. Perhaps we may not see them for a while or even years. But some how they really touched your heart perhaps even through a small jester or kind word.  But for some reason I seem to remember when ever the first encounter came I recall their smile. We never want anything to happen to them and when they do we want to be there for them at lest I do. Money cannot buy you friends my father once told me but it can buy you acquaintances when the money runs out they do too. But your friends you are lucky you can count more than one on one hand. I always wondered if I was ever going to be lucky enough when I got older that I could have a true friend who would be their if I really needed them.  I wish he was still here on this earth to report to him that I believe I have more than I ever thought I would.  Just that I do not see them all the time but I do find time to talk to them weekly. I have a friend that we talked every day I really enjoyed talking to him even if we got in to drag out arguments demanding that one of us was right about the stupidest topic. Funny how you come a cross that road with someone that you think is going to be around for a long time. Then like a lighting bolt things just are not the same anymore and your too busy to even want to take the call anymore. Then when things come down a bit you realize you miss them but you don’t want to tell for fear their ego might go straight out to the moon. So you learn to slip away into a world of few words. I gather that although I may not see my friend nor talk the way we used to because of our busy lives being pulled in so many directions. I will always think of him through his smile when I really need a friend and that Old Friends at lest for me are still considered to be my dearest friends.

PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING ART

Put your money where your mouth is, when it comes to art and claiming that it going to benefit to do a benefit or a fundraiser amongst the rich and famous. The majority wants it free or cheaper than the average poor folk. They may act like their interested in purchasing giving you a song and dance having you do bids for them wasting your time so they can look important best advice do not waste your time going after them. I find it the ones who really buy works of art may in fact be just the passer buyers and the chances of someone who is rich and famous want to invest they want it to pay off latter by selling it when you go up in the art world very rarely do they buy it because it moves them. I have been screwed by most of them I have worked with spending money,energy and time I should have not spend in trying to convince them to purchase my art. In LA it is a hard sell these days for artist in fact in this market it’s hard on all of us. We are all scrabbling to support our creations to even make more. I gather it’s kind of a good thing though it will weed out the want to bees who are younger and made profit but the test of time of endurance and strengths to support their art can weaken them cause to not wanting to continue. Thus leaving it to the ones that have earned the rights to those who have endured for years making and sharing their art for purchase. However it is the responsibility is the artist who makes it available to the population. Which can be difficult on its own merit with the montage of over visualization coming from media and advertising that confuses the public with the pureness of artistic creations. It may be more than difficult at times weeding through it all for our works to find a place where it stands out on their own merit but with persistence we can achieve the difficult task of finding homes for our creations who are our children. That we have given the breath of life into them for you should Never Ever give Up on Your artistic creations! And you should never cheapen them by selling your works cheaper just because they are rich and famous. How do think they got their in the first place anyway?

Well It was a wonderful experience and I could not think of a better cause to help rescue animals I got 5 of them my self. I am happy to report that the painting Vino tinto raised enough money to save more dogs and I want to do more in the future along side with fighting cancer for kids. Help me to help them in finding cures and good homes. I will be doing a series of works that are going to be affordable for you to purchase that will go directly to these much needed causes. All best Anna Siqueiros
