Hey there it's Antries and welcome to another episode of the Savvy Painter

podcast. This past week I've been having so much fun in the savvy painter community getting to know all of the

other artists who are part of this community getting to see your artwork and watching all the conversations that pop up in there.

It's our own private community where we can talk about what some of the things that we've been talking

about here in the podcast, take things a little bit deeper

and see each other's work and get to know each other.

So if you're not part of that community yet,

it might be because you're not on my email list.

You can go to savvy painter.com join the email list and you will get your free

invitation to join our community. I hope to see you inside. In this

episode of the podcast I want to talk about big ideas.

What happens in our head when we have a big audacious idea?

husband and I got married I thought it would be fun to do a painting project

centered around my new home. I'd already been living in Argentina for a few years and I realized it is a humongous

country and I had barely scratched the surface. I wanted to get to know the place and the people

better. And as a painter, I thought, what better way to do that than to paint my

way across the country as soon as I thought of doing it though I started thinking of all the reasons

why I couldn't do it and one of the big reasons was how was I going to

fund this how was I going to travel around the country and paint for what I thought was

going to be eight or nine months what I ended up doing was creating a Kickstarter project and I want to say

it was about five weeks. I'm pretty sure that's how long the Kickstarter campaign lasted. I barely made my goal, but I did it.
