Paul Richmond Blog

Linda Regula is an artist, author, teacher, and community advocate. She’s also my hero. I started taking art lessons from her when I was three years old, and she has been a guiding light in my life ever since. Linda overcame tremendous challenges to lead the inspiring, creative life she does today. Extreme poverty, abandonment, and abuse marked her childhood in the Appalachian Mountains, and a near fatal injury in her thirties actually paved the way for her to discover her true passion. I was excited when she came to visit us in Monterey, California and agreed to share her paintings and life story in an artist talk called Reaching For The Light at Open Ground Studios on October 19, 2017. This is the video of her inspirational presentation. I hope you are as uplifted and motivated by the strength of this trailblazing lady as I am. I believe her story is one that everyone should hear.

Don’t let the title of this video fool you - I think being an artist is the most awesome career in the world!! But I have noticed that people enter this field for a variety of reasons and with varying expectations. Here are some of the mindsets that I think get in the way of leading a truly productive, creative, fulfilling life in the arts. — Step into the weird and wonderful world of artist Paul Richmond, where anything could go down -- even a pin-up boy's pants!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYPthz17fhk I thought it would be fun to show you some of the paintings and drawings I made when I was growing up! I had an inspiring art teacher and parents who taught me that anything was possible, and I think those are two of the biggest reasons why I am an artist today. Here’s a short peek at some of my journey and a few stories from along the way. — Step into the weird and wonderful world of artist Paul Richmond, where anything could go down -- even a pin-up boy's pants!

I love painting portraits and using them as a means of telling more of a story about the individual being portrayed. For this diptych that was commissioned by the subjects’ mother, I asked her to share with me as much information as she could about their interests, personalities, and stories. Many of those elements are incorporated into the backgrounds. We also decided that the pieces should each stand on their own, but also have a strong connection point, hence some of the overlapping elements.  If you would like to talk about commissioning a portrait from me, please visit my website to find out some information about how to get the process started: http://paulrichmondstudio.com/commissions — Step into the weird and wonderful world of artist Paul Richmond, where anything could go down -- even a pin-up boy's pan...

I was very lucky growing up to have an amazing art teacher, mentor, and friend. Linda Regula started teaching me private painting lessons before my fourth birthday. In this video, we reminisce about some of our favorite stories from those early years. Also learn more about Linda's inspiring story, and the traumatic experiences she had to overcome in order to create her own path as an artist.

Did you like? Subscribe:  http://bit.ly/1lTU4Yv Being an artist is awesome! Being taken advantage of isn't. Sadly, the two often go hand in hand. Here are some recent experiences I've had with bootlegs, scams, and thieves - including a follow up on my issues with copyright infringement on eBay. While all of these things suck, my hope is that emerging artists who watch this won't feel discouraged, but empowered to value yourselves and your work enough to stand up against all the jerks out there.
