April 09, 2022 – 12×18 Floating Butterfly Austin Signed Print Sold at The Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas
A small thing, but the kind of small thing that keeps hope afloat! 🙏 I’m very grateful the City of Austin has a place like the Old Bakery and Emporium, an 1800s preserved & renovated historical site that displaces the work of Austin area artists 50+ years young 😊

March 10, 2022 – The Drought is Broken : 12×18 Lou Neff Austin Signed Print Sold at The Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas
Sometimes, like when recovering from an illness, and one feels a lifting of a debilitating fever, with a coolness that refreshes and not overwhelms, the sale of one print, after months of nothing, provides a lift to one’s spirits and steps as good as selling a painting when all seems it’ll always be thus 🙏…

Aging Gracefully During Covid-19 : Approaching 70 – Why It Feels Like the Speed Limit, lol!

Aging Gracefully – During Covid-19 – The Earth is a Garden: My Most Viewed Image this Week @FineArtAmerica June 2020
I’ve been uploading my paintings since starting watercoloring (late Dec ‘19) recently by completed progression, with The Earth is a Garden one of the more recent. It’s a very pleasant surprise seeing it garnish this much attention vs some of the others I thought my be stronger received. One really never knows, which is just…

Aging Gracefully – During Covid-19 – A New Series, Serial Series’
Am I a Serial Serialist, lol? 😊 Since “way” back, I’ve tried to create a series I can stick with, and obviously, didn’t. The topic would run out of juice. Or more accurately, I would. It was time for me to switch gears to another creative avenue, the way I switch art styles to stay…

A Walk Among the WildFlowers – New Watercolor on Absorbent Ground, May 2020
As one can tell by my photo below, I took a few liberties, but to some extent, that happens whether I plan it or not, lol 😂 But I like the result too much to alter anything on it. Another version, another time, will elicit a different response, and I do think this is one…

Flowering at Dawn – New Watercolor with Absorbent Ground Painting Progress Update 03.13.20 Plus Thoughts on the Virus Crisis 😊
Having interests, passions even, one can pursue, and let’s say pursue relatively easily, is important for everyone, but especially, I think, for young children and for older adults. I’ll let each person decide what an older adult, or a young child, lol, is, age-wise 💕

Closed my eBay Listings, For Now 03.11.20
In my continuing effort to grapple with getting a handle on my time, combined with the fees and lack of sales, I’ve suspended my listings on eBay for now. To be fair, due to time choices, I didn’t do as much advertising and social media as I could have, at least without taking more time…

Update Using Spectrafix Non-Toxic Fixative Spray for Watercolors (The Earth is a Garden & Violet Blooms Cluster Varied Background) 02.22.20

2nd Progress Update Working with Golden Absorbent Ground and Fineline Masking Fluid, on Violet Blooms 02.11.20
“Over all I feel my realizations and near misses, design-wise, outweigh my mistakes and the very real possibility this will become a “conversation learning-piece” work vs anything I can call finished and available for sale. I’m hoping I’m wrong about that last part, and find a way to finish it 😊 Very briefly, these are…

Adan’s Product Reviews on Amazon – Spectrafix Non-Toxic Fixative Spray for Watercolor (Flowering at Dawn)
“I’ve been experimenting with absorbent ground on 6×6 inch canvases lately and this is probably #6 or 7 in the batch. Brush on isolation layers worked on all the previous pictures til I reached the first one with gouache, ruined it! So, if I was to continue to be able to do pieces like this…

Progress Update Working with Golden Absorbent Ground and Fineline Masking Fluid, on The First Snow 01.25.20
“Later, once the piece is done, the gloss isolation layer and matte varnish will have to protect paint and masking fluid. The glossy isolation layer preserves the colors, and the clear matte varnish protects against dust etc, but restores the surface feel and matte finish of the completed work – as I found out via…

Progress Update Working with Golden Absorbent Ground and Fineline Masking Fluid, on Violet Blooms 01.24.20
“Turns out this method (for me) is also not 100% foolproof, at least in regard to getting the right areas masked, etc. But I really think this is more to do with a learning curve, both in regard to watercolor choices in general, and using masking fluid for and with those choices.”

Pushed Around By PDFs For My Posters, lol 😂
“The culprit was the non- poster version of Theatre of Light, and honestly, I never figured out what exactly the problem was, but – once I created my PDF from the jpg file I’d created from the flattened tif for my photo, vs from the flattened tif file, I got the smaller file I wanted.”
