{"product_id":"callendar-main","title":"Callender Street \u0026 Main","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt was the first art walk of 2026. I happen to rediscover every day that painting is my favorite thing to do. Picasso said, \"You have to be working to get inspiration.\" But it seems to me  to be a symbiotic thing; I get \"high\" and happy in a zen-like way from painting and then... I want to paint again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis year I have been teaching a bunch and I always paint when I'm teaching. It puts me in the same mindset as my students... and stops me from hovering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut I interrupt myself to check in with how everyone's painting is going. To see if I can be of assistance without offering too much of my own direction as a choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upshot is that I get to experience how much love people have for their own work. And then to bask in it. It's an honor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the ramification yesterday was ... when the day dawned and the art walk was in the air, I knew the happiest thing I could do was to be in front of Medicine Bird, where so much of my work can be found, and just paint!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI went back today to finish. Yet more inspiration!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Livingston, Montana this June, we are having a Time! And this painting shows it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe auction is live and will run until Wednesday, July 1st at 8pm MST\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tandy Miles Riddle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47966192632002,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/5973\/7282\/files\/IMG_9313.heic?v=1782599411","url":"https:\/\/paintingaweek.com\/products\/callendar-main","provider":"Tandy Miles Riddle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
