A Day in my Life….
WordPress has been doing a new thing. It has a post of a question, which I imagine is is to trigger bloggers with ideas. Today’s question is, to paraphrase, what is your first hour awake like? What does the beginning of your day? Ok, honestly, if I were to answer that : I make and…

A Corner on the Market
I’m not one into doing WIPs, since I don’t think they’re of any interest to anyone but me. The one above, however, had an abstract effect, so I added it anyway. It’s actually just the corner, and I have a long way to go. What came to mind as I did that, is what about…

What A Card!
I’ve always wondered where the term card came from, to describe a witty person. No, I haven’t always wondered that, but it was a good excuse to hop on Google. Evidently, the first use of the term in literature was from Dickens, I think it said 1863. But I’m talking about notecards, greeting cards and…

Blown Away
What do I think of other artists’ work? I love it! I love it better than my own work, if I am honest. Mostly, I prefer representational work, although some abstract blows me away, too. What I really like is work similar to my own, only better. Frustration hits, though, when something in the non-art,…

Not a particularly interesting…

Shakin’ It Up
Thought I’d try something different for a change. I know, I know, I often say I’m going to change my artwork, do one different picture, then back to the same old stuff. So, I’m just going to, as I wrote, try. So, I finally did do a version of the small airplane that I like.…

And the Story Continues…
So, I’ve been reading and listening to all sorts of tips to sell my art. My head is spinning around now, and I frequently ask myself? Is this worth it? The answer is yes, it’s been what I’ve wanted all my life. That is, if I don’t want to be really pissed off on my…

Well, Dang!
Remember this truck? I’ll bet you do, I think it was only the last post. Anyway, the point being, was that I was raving and hollering about how there was a recession coming up and I was only going to do small, inexpensive drawings. And then it happened……. Nothing. No ideas came to me for…
