Passionate Painter Podcast

Welcome back to my interview in progress with American painter Lisa Daly Kansas. Please note there's a point in the interview that I jump off the mic to quickly grab something to show Lisa in our Zoom call. For those of you listening in audio-only format, it's a framed photo of two paper checks I received in the mail. You'll understand the rest when you hear it.

That said, don't forget the full video of this interview can be seen on the show notes page for either episode at passionaterpainterpodcast.com.

And if you haven't yet listened to part 1, you might want to go back and listen to that first to hear Lisa's bio and learn about her origin as an artist, how she began selling her work, her social media strategy, and advice on art fairs.

Welcome back. Before I introduce my guest, I want to thank all of my listeners for your loyalty and encouragement. I love creating episodes to encourage you to chase down your art dreams and keep moving forward. That's why it's been a difficult decision to put the show on something of a sabbatical for the near future, to give me time to advance my own art career.

Producing a quality show is extremely important to me and I enjoy it, but it takes a lot of time. I do plan to continue, though at a more spaced-apart pace.  As I make progress on my own fine art journey, I'll produce shows to share my experiences with you in hopes of helping you along your own path.

I appreciate each of you, and as a thank you, I will be giving away two scholarships to my complete masterclass, the portrait code on March 26th, 2023. Sign up for my email list to be automatically entered to win by going to the sidebar of passionatepainterpodcast.com

The course comes with modules on design, composition, anatomy, perspective, color theory, mixing skin tones, a full portrait demonstration, and so much more, including a seven-lesson module on confidence.

Now, on to today's guest. I am happy to introduce you to an artist who is nothing short of a fireball. She began painting full-time in 2017 and in just a few short years seems to be everywhere in my adopted hometown of Escanaba and Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

She's fearless and tenacious and upbeat. And in the short time, I've been here in Northern Michigan, I'm happy to say, she's also become a friend. When I asked Lisa Daly Kansas — known professionally as LDK — to come on the show, I explained that you, my beloved listeners, are in all stages of your art journeys. She's got great advice to share from her experience of being largely self-taught and getting her work into the world. And I know you'll find inspiration and encouragement from her take no prisoners, never say die energy, and optimism.

This interview rand long, so I've broken it into two episodes for listening convenience.

Part two is available now at passionatepainterpodcast.com/episode93.

Welcome back. I'm happy to introduce you to Fine artist, painter, author, and educator, Kristin Cronic. In addition to all of these pursuits, Kristin served for ten years as an officer in the United States Navy. 

We talk about her struggle against the pull of art during her career in the military and how she carved out time for painting, even aboard Navy ships. We also talk about:

• How art helped her cope with adversity
• Overcoming impostor syndrome
• How Kristin makes a living at her art
• Communication and boundaries in your relationships around your art and critiques
• Two reasons many artists procrastinate
• Knowing when your artwork is finished

• The power of curiosity
• Feeling worthy as an artist
• Live wedding painting
• Kristin's biggest challenge
• How Kristin allocates her time in the facets of her business
• The different themes behind her work
