“How long did it take you to paint/make this?”
It’s a fair question—and one I get a lot.
But here’s the thing: you’re not just looking at hours of painting.
The truth is:
⏳ A painting/artwork isn’t measured in brushstrokes alone.
🎓 It carries the weight of years of practice.
🎨 Countless failed experiments that led to this moment
⏳ Hours of layering, editing, doubting, reworking—and finally, trusting
Art isn’t an hourly service—it’s a lifetime of decisions, detours, and deep dives. Creating, refining, creating, refining, creating, refining. . .
So when a collector asks, I like to say:
“This painting took me 61 years.”
Because art isn’t priced by the hour—it’s valued for the experience it brings into your life, every single day.🌸
