I have been reading about the significance of a person’s story.
Not just any story but the story about who we are.
Not just any story but the story about who we are.
Then I remembered a long time ago I read something about artists and how people don’t buy most artwork because they like the art.
They buy it because they like the artist, something about the artist interests them or intrigues him.
So from now on this blog is going to be about me. Me writing about stuff, any kind of stuff that goes on in my life or in my head.
I’m gonna start telling you my story.
Maybe if you read about who I am you might think;
“Well, she hasn’t cut off an ear but she sounds pretty interesting.”
You might even think;
"I Like her."
Or;
"I Like her."
Or;
“I want to buy some of her art.”
All the stories I’ve written in the past are not going away they’re just going to be in the archives and I’m going to start telling you about what I think about art, why I love something, or why I hate it, and why I painted it.
I will show you the pictures of the paintings I destroyed because after painting them I hated them. I will also show my process and my sucesses.
As promised - Here is an Epic Fail
My first attempt at a pallet knife painting. Circa 2012
I saved the eyes and lips because I liked them.
I actually liked the freakiness of the painting after cutting out the eyes and mouth.
Analize that.
The lips..? They are still thumbtacked to my studio wall.
If someone is searching the internet for Dove Cochrane the artist, DoveSoup, Art by Dove, or that artist lady who lives in Vista California, they might end up on my website and that would be cool.
