When I say a couple emails per year, I mean it. Frankly, I'm pretty lazy about sending out emails. I hate getting spammy emails every week, or worse, every few days. That's so pushy! I don't need that, and I know you don't either. Anyway, what am I going to say? "Hey, uh, I'm still painting!" Wow, stop the presses. Of course I'm painting, it's what I do. And my paintings take a long time to make, so it's not like I'm churning out hundreds of the things and you need to see a catalog every week. Once in a while I have a show where you can come see my new paintings. About a couple times a year, in fact. Which is about when I send out my emails. So you should totally sign up for my emails because they're the least spammy email list you'll ever be on. Oh, and I really do recommend getting in on my postcard deal too. I basically send them out at the same time, but they're really nice and you can stick them on the fridge. Try doing that with an email.
