Spring Frogs

Spring at my house means Frogs. There must be millions of them outside our window at night singing their little hearts out!! I love it.

The Plan

I started this blog with the intention of relating my experiences as an artist who began her career when there was NO computer art. I thought I'd let you know how long it took to even get used to the idea that an artist could use a computer as a TOOL. I certainly wasn't going to have one. I clearly remember the day I knew it was getting seriously close to changing that. I'd designed a logo for a horse boarding ranch. One of the younger boarders wanted to put it on a flag, so she asked me what "program" I used. I had no idea what she was talking about and she had no clue what I was talking about when I told her I did it with a Rapidograph pen. I suddenly realized I was an - Elder Artist.
Having a computer has been both wonderful and terrible. I can not tell you how many times my computer has come close to being upside down on my front lawn. I am slowly, slowly learning (sometimes against my will) to use it. I'm still using my pens, pencils, paint brushes, ink & water colors. It's SO much more fun! Anyway, that's what I was planning on blogging about.

Christmas Cards

My Christmas cards are finished and up on my web page ( I think my son did a beautiful job!)
We are also selling them on Ebay. You can see them all from here.
Had a wonderful time doing them. If you don't see your dog - I take requests.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Fall!!

I love Fall! What can I say - we love it- even the dogs love it. Not so sure about the cats, they might.

Good Deals!

Estate sales are weird. You can just walk into a stranger's house and go through their stuff. Sometimes you can find some pretty cool things, especially if the previous owner was an artist.
The best places are the ones with a good view of the River - I spend more time looking out the windows while my husband looks for treasures. I often wonder if any former occupants are there watching us. So far there hasn't been a sign of one.

First Blog!

You never forget your first Blog! It's just special. But it's a whole lot easier the first time if you have a good teacher. So I'm dedicating this one to my son who taught me how to blog! I understand blogging isn't a one time thing- it's a commitment, one I intend to keep,(at least for now.)
