I've been remiss on reading my favorite blogs and posting links. Too much going on in my world, so tonight I'm catching up, well a little. These are some that you might like. Smile...
For the science fiction and digital manipulation of photo crowd, check "Art and Influence" by Armand Cabrera's post of "And Now for Something Completely Different". Interesting and he explains how to do it.
If you have been wondering how to schedule posts for a later date, it is explained here on Empty Easel. (This is not really a smile, but helpful.)
Kelly Borsheim has a post that will make you say "Ouch" for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Sorry I'm a little late, too.
And a painter, Elenka, that has lovely paintings and a great sense of humor. (You will like this, Joanna.)
It is a bit later and I have to add Kristopher Battles to the list. He is a Marine Corps artist and is doing some amazing sculpture work. So cool. Scroll on down his blog to see what he is doing. Working with a lathe to add to his sculpture.
I am an artist that paints in pastels, with some oils, and acrylics. I sketch in pen and ink. As an artist my original paintings are influenced from living in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, and travels throughout much of Canada and all our fifty States. This is my spot for posting paintings and sketches, to muse mostly about art, life and a little about UT Baseball.

Hi Jo! Thank you so much for your kind words!!! I'm so excited to browse through your blog and website, as soon as I have some time, that's number one on my list!
I love working with pastels, started to do a 'road' series, but switched to paint as I could not find a satisfying way to store my pastel work. I tend not to use a fix as I find it changes the colors a bit.
My favorite has been watercolor but have since changed to tempera. I LOVE tempera, and I love pastels, but, you know... the above issue!
Thanks again!
Thanks, Elenka. I know how much fun it is to try all the different media. I do but always come back to pastels and pen and ink sketching!
I always learn so much from your blog, Jo. This time, I especially liked the info on finessing a blog. Can't wait to try some of these great tips out!
Now we need to see more of your wonderful work, new paintings from your recent summertime travels, perhaps. Back to the easel!!! :-)
Thank you, Sue. Evidently I spend too much time on the internet and not enough painting. I'm working on that though. This week was busy but I worked on a commission of pears. I will post about it someday. Ha.
11 days later but you're right, Mom. I liked Elenka's blog. ;-)
