Summer Spitsbergen: Western Oil Painter - Epi. 246, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had oil painter Summer Spitsbergen on my podcast today. She is
a young and upcoming artist that I happened to have met last
summer at the C.M. Russell Museum. They have their big show every
third week of August (which you should all go to). It's a great
show and while I was up there I fell in love with her work.

Summer is a self-taught artist, hyper-focused on what she wants
to achieve with her painting. When you're doing that as an artist
and you have great talent, you can go very, very far. She's a
real cowgirl too, living on a ranch with her husband raising
Wagyu cattle as well as chickens. Summer does all of this while
raising her three kids and somehow finding the time to paint
every single day.

We talk about what it takes to succeed with such a full life. You
know, what's that magic serum that allows you to break free and
be creative while successfully making it your profession?

I think there's a lot to be learned from this podcast, especially
if you're a younger artist and you're trying to figure it out.
Well, she definitely figured it out. Summer Spitsbergen on
