I’ve been at a hilty tilty point in my life lately.
Nothing dramatic, mind you — just a thought or two of a career change. Change of direction. Taking that right path instead of the left for a while.
But I don’t know.
Like the moon, I ebb and flow with my side job, Sunday Evening Art Gallery. I have so enjoyed every part of my blogging — from Faerie Paths (magical quotes and pictures), to narratives of my life and thoughts and discoveries, to the Gallery.
I’ve been finding more and more fun, wonderful artists to showcase. And I don’t mean artists-similar-to or a different-version-of. I’ve tried to find artists that make you say “Wow — look at that!” Artists you don’t see every day. Artists doing things you’ve never seen before.
I’m hooked.
So much so that I’ve thought of doing nothing but art galleries.
I don’t know … I wonder if I devote full time to artists and their works if I’ll lose some of my followers.
Who knows why one person follows another — something different, I would think, for everyone. Maybe it’s reading something that resonates inside of you. Maybe it’s their point of view of the world. Or their Creativity. Their style of Creativity.
Then again, how many days would I feature unique artists? I already do two or three shows a week. I’m so behind in filling up the follow up main gallery — SUNDAY EVENING ART GALLERY — that I’m embarrassed.
Every couple of days I get a new follower here and I wonder — what was it that piqued your interest? My silliness? My heartfelt Faerie Paths?
Or my artists?
So, my good friends, what do you think? Are five days of art a week too much? Is there Depth in Diversity? Haven in Humor? Quality in Quotations?
Ahhhh …. the burden of a wandering soul …
I enjoy seeing the work of a wide variety of artists. Five per week sounds like more than I can absorb. But I’ll read your posts no matter what you decide.

Five a week is more than ~I~ can handle. Not if I want to do the proper research and highlights the artists deserve. And it would be like too much chocolate cake — a fun idea but I’d be sick at the end of the marathon!

It sounds like a wonderful idea to me. I love your art posts. Interesting, informative and beautiful. If you lose a few followers, you may gain new ones. Hard, if not impossible to tell what people really like. Hard to tell why they follow anyone. I think it has to do with what you want to do. Things we do because we want to do them, usually work out for the best. If you would have fun, that’s the most important thing there is.

You are right on all counts. The way this blog started years and years ago has changed through the years, all because I discovered new directions and impulses. Of course, the topics I talk about are different too, no doubt because of the fine tuning of my age. Ha! Change is a natural occurence.

I am always surprised to see how many great artists you find and with art forms I never even knew existed.

Thank you — and yes! I feel like I’ve lived under a rock for my first 60ish years or so! I mean, everyone has heard of Chihuly and Rembrandt and Bansky — but the other artists I’ve found are just as remarkable!
