Part of being an artist is promoting yourself and your work but it doesn’t come easily for me or many artists. Today I find myself working on a short bio for a painting I’m donating to a charity. Here’s what I have so far and a photo from yesterday’s walk Mark Penney is a well-regarded Canadian artist celebrated for his deep connection to the west coast of Vancouver Island. His work often reflects the breathtaking landscapes and rich experiences of British Columbia’s coastline, capturing its natural beauty and essence. #introductions #nostr #nature #art #themarkpenney
