The Old American Artist Twitter Excerpt Series, Number III.5.1

*

To make posting my series of excerpt tweets for my novella, The Old American Artist, easier for me to post regularly (Mon-Fri), and quicker for folks to see and read, I created a reference post/page with “lots” of info that can easily be reached there 😊

That includes info on or about :

• Intro to this series
• Tweet itself on Twitter
• The image art for my cover, my painting, San Antonio Riverwalk
• About my art and it’s relationship to this literary fiction work
• The numbering system I’m using in the tweets (and why)
• Hashtag #OldAmericanArtistExcerpts – why I use it in my tweets

*

Tweet excerpt,

Arturo’s face, he felt, resembled a mesh of stone, chiseled both sharp and softly, at least until he shaved. Rinsing his face, he lathered the bar of locally made soap and scrubbed the foam into his beard in broad sweeps of his finger tips. Warm naturally, like in Galveston in the summer, the water needed no running before use. Rinsing again, but lightly, letting the lather remain slick on his skin, Arturo began dabbing a thin spread of shaving cream onto and around the now softened hairs, leaving them visible.

• My 1st blog post since August this year (2025) – Like starting new!December 18, 2025
  “My plan, my hope, is to keep this, my original layin, produce a new 2nd similar layin but add a content color layin; keep it; then repeat the steps with the two formative layers and see what finished product I might produce – 3 works total”
