Happy New Year!  2012 Year of the Dragon.  I love dragons.  http://tracy-fetter.artistwebsites.com/featured/dog-spikey-the-dragon-and-elizabeth-the-fireball-tracy-fetter.html  and http://tracy-fetter.artistwebsites.com/featured/buster-the-dragon-tracy-fetter.html


I had 15 shows in 2011!  5 in December!  I am tired.  I will be taking a small vacation.  2012 is already a good year.  I have done one painting that I am really pleased with http://tracy-fetter.artistwebsites.com/featured/helena-tracy-fetter.html. 


My art website http://www.tracyfetter.com/  just reached a milestone of all 50 states and 49 countries have viewed my art!  For some inexplicable reason 1/2 in the last month!  I guess the 5 art shows in December did pay off.  :D


During my vacation I will be working on my series, marketing plan, and new ways to entertain you in 2012.


Thank you all for your encouragement and support.  You are fabulous!

Since my blog is a stream of conciousness.... I find the idea of repainting a painting that has sold disgusting. I can recreate all my paintings. I chooses not to. I some times like to own unique things. In my opinion, paintings should be one of those unique things. Prints, photographs, digital images are different on that they are not paintings. They do not have the same presence. I don't expect to own a unique print., etc. Paintings to me are individuals except owning them is ok. Artist friends I am not judging you. We all need to make money. I can not and will not fault you for success. Repainting my paintings that have sold is just not my bag.

On painting...in Aug and Sept

Lately, I have wanted just to paint and hire a marketer.  I am having social media burnout.  Facebook and Google+ is too much.  I will accept all friends circles from Google+, but Facebook is a bit more personal.

I am doing ArtSpan's Open Studios the first week of October and have been painting new paintings.  http://www.artspan.org/artist/tracy-fetter

I am also the featured artist for September at Haus Fortuna http://www.hausfortuna.com/ in Petaluma. (their website talks about the wares not the art.)  There are about 10 artists there.  I will be there for the Saturday the 10th Artwalk.  I will probably be painting something abstract.  http://www.petalumadowntown.com/PetalumaArt.aspx


Please enjoy the quiet.  I need to go now.

Mixing Personal with Business

Just curious.  Isn't the art world supposed to be filled with crazy sloppy artists?  Everyone seems so uptight and business like. Is it the economy?   People are two preoccupied with making money and the pursuit of making money, or is it SEO 2.0?
