This past week I had someone imply that the work artist done is over prices because they sell stuff they created for free. So here is the cash cost payout for my latest oil painting "Trucking the Notch" canvas $32, paint and medium $27, 4 hours of studio time in Manchester $14.50 per hr. = $58. That's $117 direct out of pocket coast not including anything artist time and effort nor travel expense associated with the work. That's all predicated on the hope that he/she will find someone who would like the work and want to buy it. In the meantime it is like inventory in a warehouse taking up space. Warehouse space equals storage expense. Not sure if I agree with this persons summary.

Peter Corriveau Never doubt YOUR value as an artist Dave! We all value different things, and that's okay. Just don't ever feel like you have to justify your price for any work. The person meant for each of your creations will value them far beyond the price tag.

Aaron Miller People and their intellectual laziness is really frustrating. That you have to explain even a tiny shred of how life actually works is rather ridiculous. Keep creating Dave Holmander-Bradford. At our house, we tell time with art, drink from art, eat off of art and sit on art. Yay, art.

In the last term of my double track CE program at The New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester, NH. Graduate in June with certificates in printmaking and painting. I love making art and being a art gallery director.

Finished up last class last night. Already signed up for fall. 3 classes maybe one more. Open Studio in printmaking, Intermediate painting and intermediate drawing.. will possible also add another 8 week Alla Prima session.

I have some concerns about the proposed merger of NHIA with SNHU. I hope it doesn't effect my program. It could also be a positive. Time will tell..
I have added a new link with the latest on the merger. Talk are slow and presidential search resumed. HUM !!!!! What could this mean.

Summer session back in class. doing major printmaking project. Lithograph and reliefs. also a Chinese white line woodcut.. Alla Prima painting class and old masters painting. Full up with classes and overload work. Not sure if I can keep up with the load.
