The best thing ever.

I was tempted to hang onto this painting, but a wise friend reminded me what I’ve always said, that I need to move my work out of the studio and into the world.  Partly because that is the whole point.  Also because if I keep looking at favorite completed work, it tends to narrow my choices as I go forward, the antithesis of what I want in these freedom paintings.  So this one is up for sale on eBay.

"She's Crazy for It," a new abstract painting by Genie Maples

You can bid for this painting here.  The starting bid was $49.  As I type this, it stands at $172.

I think this is my most successful painting ever.

I hope the bids go high, of course.  Babies got to eat.  But the important thing is that I completed a very, very good painting, someone will enjoy it for a long time, and I will make money so I can keep doing this.

I could not ask for a better life.  Generosity all around.  There is nothing better.
