Scattershot update. Seems I got a Daily Deviation since I last logged on. Hey, thanks! It's for one of my favorite recent paintings, too. I love it when my commissions turn out so well. Thank you =ElindielForestStar and ^deshrubber. And thank all of you so much for the comments and favs.

Things are busy and I want to respond to everyone who took the time to comment. I really appreciate it when people comment on my work and I want to take my time to go look at their work in turn because, hey, they seem to have good taste.

Anyway, it may take me a while to get back to you but I WILL get back to you. Thank you in advance for your time and patience.

Meanwhile, I'm hanging in and still digging the full-time artist gig. I'm less stressed about the everyday hurdle of making rent but it's still a challenge coping with uncertainty. And yet and yet: I love doing what I do.

You know how there are loads of sayings out there that claim if you love what you do to earn a living, life becomes a constant vacation? I think it goes all the way back to Confucius: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

Yeah, right. I suspect that's a myth. I will expand on this thought further.

But first I'm going to do some field research and take an honest-to-goodness on-a-plane-to-somewhere-secluded vacation for a few weeks. I'll let you know how it compares. ;-)

Canada
I am a full-time expressionist painter with a surrealist edge. I paint urban landscapes and personify buildings so they look like the people that live in them.

I grew up in a pulp mill town in BC's interior and loved to paint as a kid. My art teachers were often exasperated because I wanted to go by instinct which means I'm mostly self-taught. As much as becoming a starving artist scared me, I became one - two recessions and several depressions later (economic and personal). Now? Life is good. Cardio helps. So does a healthy balance of coffee and beer.

Current Residence: Vancouver
Favourite cartoon character: Pinky & The Brain

Laura, I like your art, you paint very well. I should fave all of them. But! I have looked your website (www.laurazee.com) and I almost killed myself. Who made it? When? At b.c. 200 ? Hey, there is HTML5 & CSS3. What do your clients think if they see that?
Sorry about the (public) critique, but I could not keep back.

Thank you so much for your comments. It explains why sometimes people seem to be partial to No Mercy Asked and None Given whereas my favorite art work, Outback Australia which was drawn precisely and laboriously was not popular.

Your artwork is absolutely incredible! I've been in kind of a slump with my art right now and looking at yours has really been inspirational. Just thought I'd let you know. :)
