A quick rare (recently anyways 😊) Saturday post. I have been taking weekends (kinda) off, ie, not posting, and being able to keep my excerpts for my 2012 novella, The Old American Artist. Hope you take a look, I’m glad I did, lol!

I’m remembering and being reminded of many things that’d become 2nd nature to me, and had sometimes been struggling to re-incorporate without realizing I’d been through the process, which means – Hey! I know how to do this, just need to keep experimenting with watercolor & see how it still works, works better, or needs adjusting! It’s been humbling seeing I’m retreading but with a new medium, which is also exciting.

Even more exciting, is seeing the development of the love story between the old American artist, Arturo, and his ❤️ Rosetta ☺️

Anyway, here’s a screenshot of my 1st newsletter via Fine Art America’s newsletter program since 2017!

My Fine Art America newsletter series –
https://felipeadanlerma.com/tag/my-fine-art-america-newsletter/

My previous articles in the series, tell a little more about my re-introduction to the mechanics of the newsletter, plus, for me to know and let ya’ll know – how you can sign up and/or email me privately via Fine Art America’s system – w/lots of how-to pictures!

Next week I’ll do a post showing some of the features of the newsletter program, like having multiple lists, previewing before sending, and – a very nifty item – a tracking feature! No names will be shown of course, but that doesn’t matter for your own use 😊

And, I’ll show more about how those images on the right side of the newsletter are “very” easily added during setting!

So stay well everyone! Be safe! Stay creative – in any manner that fulfills your heart! ❤️

Thanks so much for all ya’ll’s interest – I appreciate it!
Stay well 💕

• May 17, 2022 – I Have a Lot of Happenings ( art & personal ) This Week, But Still Finding Moments To Start a New Painting : Morning’s PromiseMay 17, 2022
  It’s nice to dance the surface of my canvas as needed. And able ☺️ And right now, a light step, at an easy pace, may give me the time – and energy – to get more than a handful of other needed things also done this week. Not a bad compromise. For now 😊
• May 16, 2022 – New Diptych : “Freedom” Almost Finished, Panels Need Signing ( front & back )May 16, 2022
  And what I’ve come across figuring out how to make prints of this that folks can work with, ie, close to or within standard size dimensions, was how to get a 22×28 image convert into – in 2 examples – an 8×10 or 12×18, and I came up with this as a starting prototype….
• May 15, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Spring Rising”May 15, 2022
  I’d done a lot of deep or darker night-like paintings for a bit, so it felt pretty nice to lighten up my palette for awhile. Working back & forth, from the two approaches – playing the potential good from both approaches seems to suit my Libra middle, lol!
• May 14, 2022 – My 1st Classical Stretch Workout with Miranda Esmonde-White ( via YouTube ) in Many Months!May 14, 2022
  Though similar to SilverSneakers’ classes, Miranda’s classes focus largely on making the fascia network in our bodies more fluid. Some movements are very similar, but more extended, dance-like, reflecting Miranda’s ballerina and dance background!
• May 13, 2022 – “Angel” in AVAA’s 1st Austin Art Space Gallery and Studio Group Show in a Long Time!May 13, 2022
  Just a very quick post to announce that my 18×24 inch acrylic on stretched canvas, Angel – has been accepted into Austin Visual Arts Association’s ( AVAA) 1st group show since ( I believe ) the pandemic. Definitely been a long time coming and feels great to be able to be showing with this long time Austin art association again! 😊
• May 12, 2022 – Updated My #Twitter Header Image and Pinned TweetMay 12, 2022
  Though Twitter’s future is up in the air, or ether, or virtual landscape; and my own “footprint” there and social media in general is micro-whatever, lol! — it’s still my micro existence, and I want to care for it best I can 😊
• May 11, 2022 – Reblog / Review : Joan Mitchell, “I carry my landscapes around with me” – #PolyptychsMay 11, 2022
  …my reading of Joan Mitchell’s work – while often including much of that same connection, speaks more directly to me about the impact of the canvas before me in that process. Especially most specifically in regard to Joan’s work with multi-panel / multi-canvas works of art – ie, polyptychs!

Thanks again, everyone! 😊
