I'm talking now
Sorry about the two previous blog posts. The one just below was stuck in draft when I lost access to my website, and had to take my PC into repairs. The post below, should actually should come before the other one underneath it. Just so you understand the confusion.

I am having a number of strange little issues in getting new uploaded art works onto my FAA printing site. I think I have one issue dealt with, then another issue shows up shortly after.
I believe it's more to do with the Windows program that I have on my computer. Many things going obsolete. Applications are no longer compatible. All I can do is try to work around them, as best I can. I'm trying to get my Halloween teddy bear art work onto my print site. What I don't see here, I can see there, a few little specks of white dust on the black back ground of my drawing. I am working to rescan the drawing. Should have this taken care of sometime this Friday, Oct. 11th, 2012. May as well add my Christmas holiday teddy bears up, too. Can't believe how fast a year can go. Have a super dooper week-end, folks. Peace Hi friends,
I was without my computer for 2 weeks while it was in wait for repairs. No bugs, or any type of tangible damaging issues were found. I was having troubles with updates to virus protections, and issues with downloads in new programs. I lost my java, my reader, everything was going whacky, and my PC got bossy, and then just didn't do anything right. My emails were acting up, and so was my twitter, and facebook accounts. A whole lotta craziness. The repair guy ended up cleaning out my PC, and my bookmarked websites, accounts, and links were all removed in the process. I'm just now recovering my website accounts, and renewing passwords, etc.. Not an easy job with every single website needing all my lost info that proves I'm who I say I am. What a mess. I've lost quite a lot, and may never recover everything, but for now, I need to just get back online, and return access to my networks. I did not lose any of my pictures, and artworks, thank you, Lord! Whew! I did some work on my horses drawing, and some holiday drawings I never finished last year. Got some of my old teddy bear drawings ready to share. I still have a camera problem. I couldn't afford repairs to both PC, and camera, and of course the PC comes first. I got a nice break on the repair cost, so I think I can have my camera looked at early in November. I hate the timing of all these problems. Why do they always seem to happen just before the times I need to get the holiday stuff done?? On another note. My horses drawing is nearly done, but I'm not happy with the background, yet. I keep changing the background stuff, and found I needed to just take a break from it. Nervous energy does not make for a happy artist. I Must be happy in my work, or they won't turn out well. Just a couple of days to focus attention to my holiday art, and get my websites back in order. Have plenty of time this week-end for all of that. I hope everyone is doing well. Enjoy the week-end! I LOVE the Fall season! Peace Hello,
Just setting up to upload some of my holiday art. The teddy bear art I haven't had a chance to finish adding, are mostly holiday, calendar, and greeting card art works. Just a couple of those are on this site now. Will have the rest of them uploaded on my print site first. I've just uploaded two over there, now. These are works I don't need my camera for. They fit in my scanner, so I will be working on the uploads to my printing site first, before I upload here, as I will need the link to add to them. As for my camera, I found someone to take a look at it, but the heat has been brutal lately. Shouldn't be more then a day or two when it cools back down to a respectable temperature. Then I can get back out there to get that card taken out of my camera. So, I'm not totally helpless here, and I do have someone to take my photographs so people can at least see what I'm currently working on, they just won't be great pictures to print from, right away. I'll be busy drawing, as I have several projects going, along with a few new holiday art works. This time is the right time to finish the current holiday drawings I began from last year, before I had to check into the hospital, just 4 days before Christmas. So, I hope every one finishes out this week not so tired, that you can't enjoy your week-end. Peace My digital camera card is not coming out of my camera. It's stuck in there real good. I hope there is no damage, as I tried to pry it out with a treezers, but it won't budge. I might be able to borrow a camera until I can get mine in for an operation to get the card out. Don't know what else to do. I would hate to lose it, as it is a 9 pixel, and a gift from my Dad from Christmas of 2008.
Wish me luck! Janet Hello friends!
I just wanted to touch base with my current works. You already know that I'm working on the nuzzling horse pair, "Mustang Love", and the "Love Tree Angel" drawing. Both I'm drawing in graphite. The heart shaped leaves work is almost finished. I took on 2 more projects. One that I'm likely going to be done with today, but was drawn for a sister friend, and I don't yet have permission, or not, to share it when it is done. I can only say, that it's been a very personal project. The other project, which I have already started, is from one I have on my living room wall. I'll explain more about it, when I am ready to get started on the color pencil work. That one is going to be a very special project, as it was when I drew the first original. Yes, I'm being purposely mysterious, and secretive. I don't think there will be any disappointment when you finally see it. Well, that's all for now! Peace Hey art lovers,
Before I could go on to finish that art work, I had to be satisfied there wasn't a copyright on the photograph image. Well, I did find the original owner of the photograph. It was apparently sold, as the website with the very same horses are there now, in many different images of the same pair. Legally, and in good conscience, I can not draw that image as my own. I scrapped that project. Since it was a friend that wanted me to draw the image, I took the same idea of the nuzzling horse pair, and have made it in my own image. The theme of a nuzzling horse pair will be larger, and stronger built horses I did take a few photo's along the way, but I have restarted this drawing 6 or 7 times now, and the progress is different each time. I'll try to get a photograph in before I complete the work. The current drawing is to my satisfaction, so far. I'm drawing with graphite, but I am thinking of drawing it again in color pencil. This artwork, when complete, I will offer for sale in prints. I am still working on Angel Love Tree. It's just about done. I hope you all have a great week-end! Peace I've just uploaded some sketches/drawings I'm currently working on. I was suppose to do this a week ago or better, but a tooth became infected, and I have no dental insurance, so I can only call my Dr, see him, and get on antibiotics, and hope the tooth won't reinfect over and over.
I did draw as I could, and have two drawings with updates added. I'm also working on a portrait. This portrait is something out of the ordinary for me. I'm working by spirit, because there is no photograph, and it's someone that passed on several generations ago. This person is from a friends family history. I hope you all have a great week! Janet Okay! We are back in business with my premium account with Fine Art America printing website.
WHEW! I have been looking through some new features available there. I did try some already. Nothing I did worked. Bangs head on keyboard... Such is the ongoing issues for an artist that is computer dumb. Everything I do know, I had to learn on my own. I killed my first PC, a laptop in my self education, but it gave 8 good years until I fried the poor thing. Most PC workings I did by trial and error. It seems the instructions I read to properly set things up on my websites are quite easy, but my bossy computer, or even the website I'm working with is bossy, and pretty much tells me, " Your doing it wrong! " UGH! I simply want to use FAA's awesome new features that connect our websites so that there is a much easier navigation around them both. Applying purchase cost's to each artwork, and the ability to click on an artwork to direct a buyer, or viewers that are just curious) to the prices for each individual artwork. I'll keep at it until I get it right. For the moment, I need a break. I will be back to work on this tomorrow. There are some photographs I need to take tonight, of some of my works. Still trying to get some photographs right to add here, and there. Have a great Thursday, everyone. Peace* Well, I don't understand what the problem is with my Fine Art America printing account. They have me down as a free account, which is it not. I paid for the subscription renewal. Until FAA fixes their issue I can't work with my website there. In a free account the features are very limited. I can't even upload more artwork or photographs.
I've emailed FAA from their contact address, and hope to hear from them soon, with the issue corrected. Hopefully, this will be taken care of shortly. |
