Excerpts from The Old American Artist on my site – https://felipeadanlerma.com/tag/oldamericanartistexcerpts/

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.

- January 23, 2021 – Dr Fauci’s Update on Covid-19 Vaccines, There is Much HopeThe information is relatively basic, but immensely clarifying and reassuring, at least to my wife and I. We’re in our 70s, still haven’t been able to receive vaccinations, and this type of information is crucial in keeping us upbeat and hopeful, committed to continue eating and living healthy as we can ❤️
- January 22, 2021 – Tweets That Caught My Eye on Twitter – Jo Coyne @Jopolkadot #Inspirations via the Arts and NatureJo has long been an inspiration of surprises for me on Twitter. Partly, probably, because she shares from all the arts, plus so many grand and nuanced thinkers, plus, includes such interesting imagery 💕

- January 20, 2021 – Inauguration Day, A Promise of a PromiseI’ve seen Inauguration Days since I was a kid, beginning with John F. Kennedy’s. (video – https://youtu.be/PEC1C4p0k3E) I still remember how thrilled I was, and then, how shocked, when he said we should ask not what our country can do for us, but what we could do for our country, lol! What! Me? I was barely ten!
- The Old American Artist Twitter Excerpt Series, Number III.17.5“A brief gust shook the large panes ever so slightly, barely a tremor of vibration. ‘I think it’s her….'”

Beautifully written excerpt, Adan! It’s funny, my husband just decided to shave off his beard last night, he didn’t even warn me, just came out of the bathroom clean shaven! He is letting it grow back again!😉

Oh wow! I know how it freaks my wife out when I shave my off, or really close; been growing mine back last month & a half when the heat finally went below 100, lol! Past week we’ve been in the 30s nights & 50/40s days and so glad my face blanket is filling in 😊 You like ur husband either way, or have a preference? My wife says she likes me either way but reminds me she met me when I had a beard 😏 😊
