Curly Bob called a business meeting yesterday to discuss marketing strategy up to and beyond Christmas 2013. My painting duties were laid out. I did try and explain to Bob that all artists need their rest and the occasional beverage( we are not talking about tea or coffee at this point). Bob felt such things were a distraction and should be avoided.
Given Bob's predeliction towards any form of alcohol I felt this was a bit rich. I pointed out that whilst he had been enjoying his sojourn in Paris for the best part of a month he had been neglecting his fans around the world , especially those on Google. One had even suggested he might have run off to the circus with me.
This remark ruffled Bob's fur somewhat. He accepted, albeit reluctantly, that he could have done better. He now feels a marketing onslaught on Google is called for with some posts this week. I asked him how I am supposed to paint when instead I am passing on his messages to the world and it's mother. Bob considers this sort of talk negative and unproductive. He expressed great confidence in my abilities and was sure I would manage somehow. I am beginning to consider calling a couple of circuses to see if they have any vacancies....
Meanwhile here is "Crows in Winter #3" an oil on canvas to placate his Google followers:-
