It took me ten years to find my abstract paint style and after ten years I put my paintings away. So content was I in the moment that I didn’t need to show my work. And even though I submitted my work here and there online, I found it difficult to sell or show my work in my adopted town of Long Beach, California

I wish that I could say as of this post I am a successful artist living off the production of my art but I can’t I am a produce clerk hoping that my art which is hanging in a wine shop in Glendora, California will be seen by some gallery owner and that I will be plucked from obscurity. The chances of that are probably as astronomical as winning the lottery but hope is what we have as artists. However the one thing that I am blessed to have is that I can create new paintings. That is when I can afford paints and canvases. Working as a produce clerk doesn’t pay that well. And even though four of my paintings are in private collections the Yjing Abstracts

and Kate Obscured as seen below.

I haven’t made sold paintings since then. However this is all to say that I am most appreciative of finding my style and that my paintings are hanging. I still have another point

If you are an art lover, I implore that you seek out obscure artists in Coffee and Wine shops and help them in the fight against A.I. As much as A.I. is a threat it is also soulless. I’m not sure who is reading this and in many ways it’s a shot in the dark. However that is what being an artist especially a marginalized artist who wakes up every day create yet has to be realistic. Unfortunately the people in my neighborhood in North Long Beach, which is just South of Compton appreciate abstract art and artists like myself but they will. That is with your help.

So if you are in Glendora, California for any reason please go visit CocoVino LA and look at my art. And if you don’t want to purchase some art look at some of the wines, maybe buy a bottle and thank the purveyor for supporting artists like myself and thank you for Supporting Artists….where ever they may be. And a of this post guess what I just sold this painting. It’s called “The Last Time Saw Jeff” 2020 16″X24″ Acrylic on paper. Momentum is given, to be. Let’s Go!
