I'm talking now
A few things went down over this long month of May. A family member I depend on got sick, lost way too much weight. Finally ended up in surgery, and is now recovering. It was a scary time, for the both of us. I've been doing what I can to help myself, but it's been a struggle! This place is not disability accessible, so everything is too high, or too low. Very happy it seems to be over, and soon our lives will turn back to some normalcy. I think I might need a vacation after this is over!
I am trying to cope with lost feeling in a few fingers, and part of my hand. Pretty sure it's nerve damage. I'm right handed, so I can still draw! Typing? I'm doin it, but nice, and slo-o-o-w. Well, I did get some art done while I was away. Lots of portrait sketches. A new color pencil mountain drawing. A much larger California Poppies color pencil drawing. I have been working on that one for about 2 weeks. Maybe another week and it will be done as well. A little Spring pick me up. :) I started a new theme. It's all in graphite, but in the future, I will likely draw, or paint a few in color. I don't want to share any more about it, until I have them uploaded onto my website. I will get that project going here as soon as possible. I have to update all my websites, and internet accounts. There is much to do! Have a great hump day! Peace

To better find my work on google and other search engines, I have made some small changes to the front page with my first added artworks. Smaller pictures as well, for better protection. Anyone can see them much larger on my print site.
There are now specific titles of what kind of art work is on that section of the page. This will make it easier to find a specific type of artwork anyone might be searching for. I will do the same to the rest of the pages showing art that is for sale, or will be once they are better pictures to upload for printing. I've been thinking these changes will be more accessible in finding my work on the internet. Well, a bit of a set back with my FAA printing accounts closing on me. Only for a short time, though. I should have my accounts reopened within a few days. I have a busy few weeks ahead. Simple, but time consuming things.
I've also been dealing with, yet again, an infection on my leg from an old injury I had last year. I think I managed to avoid the hospital this go around. It has a lot of healing yet to do, but I'm actually doing good under the circumstances. I am, of course, always sketching, drawing something. I should be back on track with my previous plans real soon. Love-n-Peace Hey art lovers,
Just a little catching up. My current art project is a graphite drawing. I shared a little peek of it last night. I'm trying to get it done by this Friday. I'm getting ready for a drawing that I plan to do in graphite , and in color pencil. It's one I wanted to start last year, but if you follow my blog, you would likely understand why that has been delayed. It's a double portrait I'm planning of my art friend, Sonja, and her friend in the photograph. I already have two portrait works of Sonja here on this site. Just a couple of practice works, really, but Sonja likes them, so that is a confidence booster. :) As soon as I finish the current drawing, that's what I will be doing as far as my main art project for the summer. I have other smaller works in mind, which I will also draw, paint on the side. There is my smaller art journal/scrapbook I like to add something new to, usually when I'm away from home. I have quite a growing portfolio of finished works. If my health holds out, I'm getting my originals ready for selling. It will be one or two at a time, framing is expensive. I will also think about offering to send my originals in a protective round container. I would roll up my artwork, and put inside for shipping. I'll have to check on where to find them, and what they will cost, before I commit to that idea. That is if anyone would rather buy the art work, and have them framed at their home town/city. I would like to be able to offer a few choices for purchasing, and receiving. Wish me luck, or send me a prayer, or bothif you will. I can use a summer of real things happening.
