What's going on

After resisting doing this again, I reopened a profile on Facebook, and will be posting things from this blog on my page, "Pauly Tamez Art." I thought it was just part of something I need to do in order to promote my art. I do this somewhat reluctantly because I have a lot of concerns about Facebook in general. But if it's a piece of my art marketing, where everyone else is, I guess I couldn't find another place just as hot to do that.

I'll have a website soon, until then, I'll be testing Facebook for a while.

Would you please take time to "Like" my page "Pauly Tamez Art?"

Here is a new painting from last weekend. It is a smaller version of another painting I previously posted.
Also, the other 2 are completed works of the "Wette Painte" below.

"Spring Verbena" Oil on canvas, 4" x 5"

"Spring Verbena near Sisterdale, TX" Oil on Canvas board, 8" x 10" 

"Oak in the morning" Oil on canvas panel, 8" x 8"

If you are on my email list

Please let me know. I am going to be changing up my outreach soon. I am going to get my own website, and want to include anyone who reads this. So please send me an email so I can notify you as soon as that happens.

Wette Painte

Just finished a 2-day, 2-event art display. Yesterday I participated in the Best of BoerneFest Art show, which was well attended, and I had a great time meeting folks and getting my name out. Today I did the first ever Boerne Art Waddle - an event that highlighted some of the artist who live in the "Flats" and several other artists that were hosted in different homes. It was a blast - I finished 1 painting Saturday, and completed 2 on Sunday. I took my easel to both events and painted and talked to people.

I am coming to understand art is a lot about joy. It brings me joy ( and satisfaction, peace, and relaxation) to paint. I enjoy it, other people enjoy it, and sometimes they buy it. I was able to let a few people take the pallet knife, and contribute to my painting. Whenever someone asks how difficult it is to paint with a knife, I hand them the knife and let them put paint on the surface...it's that easy, and I get to show someone they can do it too.

I'm happy, they're happy - Er-body's happy.

Here's my unsigned paintings from the weekend - still drying...
