I myself still don’t have a newsletter but haven’t wanted to. Yeah, I know. Along with staying fit at 69, painting, wanting to travel, wanting to eat well, doing a blog, grandkids, lol 😂

But, he makes a LOT of good points in previous posts about the value of having one’s own list independent of an – actually, any – online platform, no matter how big or good.

And I’d have to see if my WordPress premium level is set up to do an automated newsletter signup, and if not, what the alternatives are.

The benefits to me would be big, esp ownership of the list (I would never share it w/anyone).

Plus the benefits I could offer to my newsletter readers could be very unique 😊

Anyway, David offers tons of good info, hope you’ll take a look too!

Take care everyone, stay creative! ❤️

ps – David almost always also makes a point of saying the info is of benefit to most anyone, in any creative endeavor, not just authors 💕

• The Old American Artist by Felipe Adan Lerma – Twitter Excerpt SeriesJuly 10, 2020
  Looking back at older work, like my 80s acrylics or 2000s water soluble oils, can be lots of things : sobering 😂 and, when I spot patterns of motifs or preferences in my work, very helpful for me, enabling me to see enduring patterns of interests. The same, it turns out, even with its own variations, is true for other art forms I’ve worked out most my life, like writing, whether patterns of expression and beliefs within my blog posts, or, in the case of The Old American Artist – a semi-autobiographical literally fiction-like novella, connections right back to my most enduring focus. Art ❤️
• My Return to Regular Pricing @FineArtAmerica July 2020July 9, 2020
  It’s been a few months since I started my $1 pricing markup experiment on Fine Art America. It was a worthwhile experiment, where I was hoping to generate more interest in my work in general, plus rack up a few low profit but visibility expanding sales 😊

  I’ve worked on Lady in Paris 1889 in-between some smaller watercolor (vs acrylic pieces), though a lot of the new touches to this work have been watercolor paint w/matte acrylic medium, basically making it an acrylic, but with some watercolor features, like the particular pigments I really wanted to use 😊

• Adan’s Movie/Cable TV Reviews – “Midnight in Paris” Viewed a Decade Later – Better Than I’d Realized – 5 Stars +July 6, 2020
  Yet, familiar as it was, watching it again yesterday, half in the afternoon, the other half before bed (yeah, a luxury of both staying-home and being retired ❤️), remembering how enchanted we’d been seeing this together, ten years ago – it was like it was brand new again!

• Happy 4th of July 2020! 🇺🇸July 4, 2020
  We will surely make it through these times as we have other pandemics, wars, and establishing and keeping our democratic republic ❤️ Below are several sayings I feel go to the core of my feelings about our country, America 💕
