Musings of an Artist

  1. Down the Rabbit Hole and Back Agian

    Though I have not been entirely absent from Litnet I have not been here and about as much as usual, and it certainly has been a good long while since my last blog post. I have been a bit busy with this and that, so here are some of the highlights of my life, of what I have been most recently up to.

    Since my gallery experience, of which I have told you about it had helped to refocus my attention back on my artwork again. So I have been creating visually a lot more lately which had

  2. Well you cannot please everyone

    I belong to Deviant Art, which is an online art gallery that is free to join, and allows members to post their work in any form of art you can imagine, both visual and written.

    I still have a sort of whimsical attachment to the mushroom, part of this reason is because of my ever

  5. Painting Again

    Finally I have started to paint again, previously for sometime now I have been unable to do so. First because during the time I was in school I did not have any time to paint, and then once I was out of school for the summer (I never take summer classes) I had lost the room that more or less served as my studio as it were, so I had no space in which to paint. The family room dubbed "My Office" because I am really the only one who uses this room and spend most my time here, formally had ...
