Daily Life of an Unknown Modern Artist: Day 6

Day 6 and the second day I am away from my second "office". I am well aware that I need to paint more pictures and my aim here is to have enough to host a gallery of my works at various different pop-up shops around the UK and abroad. I am also aware that this goal is a long way away...

Being in the Cotswolds for a few days has given me a lot of so-called "arty ammo" which are basically decent photos and images I can use as a reference for new pictures.

Today I went to visit the legendary Diddly Squat Farm Shop by Jeremy Clarkson which was a great experience however you need to be prepared for muddy shoes and a long wait, which was my experience. I also went to Stow-On-The-Wold which was definitely a quintessentially beautiful old countryside village.

I have provided a sample below of some of todays "arty ammo".

On other fronts, I have definitely decided on running Google Ads with a very small budget of £1-3/day and split between my site (www.leodrysdale.com) and my YouTube channel (https://youtu.be/E4QgSPgdzDI?si=m1VSDMoSZc3pVTZO) which should hopefully provide me with a steady, but small, trickle of views as at the moment I am getting nothing.

I have to be honest, I am already starting to realise that I need to be headstrong and determined as this will be a long road with potentially a very slow start.
