Resurrection of this Blog

2025-07-14T13:34:00.002-05:00

Hi Everyone! I am resurrecting my Blog! I started this blog when I was part of the painting a day movement about 18 years ago, (where does the time go). I am hoping to write about my journey of being an artist from the pre-computer days to today with internet, social media, AI art, on-line art businesses like Etsy, and digital art! It is hard rolling with technology since I grew up in the 60's and 70's but I have managed to do so. I am happy to answer questions and hopefully help others with what I have experienced. My goal is to start posting Monday through Fridays. I will also show and put up for sale some of the original art that I have here in my home. That's all for today, God Bless!
