artisitic irony

while on a drive down the highway from dropping my son off for the day, i was thinking about the grand artistic irony, which is this - the impulse to create a painting is much like the impulse potential buyers of my artwork have when they first approach me. i fully realize that the purchase of artwork is not a necessity and requires discretionary income. that said, most folks that say they will come back to me or think it over never do. so, the same impulse that makes me hurtle into a canvass is the same impulse that keeps that fickle buyer from buying a piece of art. i a rather majestic notion that keeps the wheels of art and commerce spinning in the harmony that is delicate. cheers ..
