Let's Promote Art!

Let's all promote art. Ever get a survey from a company you bought from? Don't throw it away! Tell them you'd like them to promote art by buying art for their corporate headquarters. Encourage them to be more like Progressive Insurance, which has one of the largest...if not THE largest, private contemporary art collection in the country.

Of course, we can promote art and artists by buying from one another. I know most of us artists already do that because we appreciate the value of owning original art and enjoy it. Buy the gift of art...anyone's original art that you like...for Christmas! You know your recipient's likes...are they a collector of frogs? Find some original frog art, you know you wont' be giving a duplicate if you buy original art!

Any other ideas for promoting art...everyone's original art? Let me know or comment here. If you'd like to see more of MY art, I'd love it! My site is http://robinzebley.com and if you click at the top of this blog on the title, you'll go to the top of this blog and see what's new.

Chadds Ford French bulldog pitbull mix - What would Andrew Wyeth think?

Isn't she an adorable dog? I almost didn't get this commission because I was EMBARRASSED to advertise in Chadds Ford, even though it's near my home.

As you artists and Wyeth lovers know, Chadds Ford, PA is home to the famous painters, Andrew and Jamie Wyeth. Jamie Wyeth, especially, since he paints dogs also. I have little flyers that I put up in vets and groomer's offices, but I was hesitant to put them up in Chadds Ford. What if the Wyeths saw it!

Well, I talked myself into it, and Chadds Ford is one of my busiest areas! I've been honored to do a lot of dog portraits for folks living in the area. And I've since realized that real artists encourage other artists even if their style is not the same or their name isn't famous.

I have no idea if any Wyeth ever saw my flyer or know if I exist, but if they do, I'd like to say "hi" to fellow artists and tell them that I love their work!

If you're a vet or a dog groomer or own a dog day care and would like some of my flyers, give me a holler. I'd be glad to put some in the mail for you!
