December 03, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Costa Rica Sunset Panorama” : circa 2017
I almost skipped even posting about it, but at 4x the views of the nearest most viewed of my images, I needed to drag myself out of my whatever-it-is recent posting stagnation, lol!

My Return to Regular Pricing @FineArtAmerica July 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 😊

Aging Gracefully – During Covid-19 – My Paintings on Fine Art America
It’s a tough switch for me, picking up brush with paint vs picking up a camera. Switching from the exactness of line and light captured (even if framed by my eye) by a machine, exquisite as it is — to the amorphous shifting intangible (even if more powerfully felt) world inside me.

Earlier this week I posted about new pricing for both all my prints and gift items plus two of my licensing tiers for my images, both at Fine Art America! 😊 Virtual friends left comments and contacted me and offered a gamut of encouragements, alternative suggestions, and general goodwill for a fellow artist struggling during…

Showing & Playing My Poster Poker Hand
“It’s been awhile since I had the desire to go through the process and expense of choosing and creating a catalog of on-hand prints I’d like to sell.”

Thoughts About Making Some of My New Posters with (mat-like) Borders
“Creating digital mats for my own images also has 3 distinct pluses! 1. I can indulge my creativity w/out as much restraint. Today’s ink colors for printing art and photos far exceeds the colors of physical mats available.“

If I’m Gonna Make Posters (among other categories of prints)…What Do You Think of These?
“I will say, having a body of photo images to go with my original art today, is a significant difference from those days when I cut my own glass, beveled my own mats, and chose my own backing – but didn’t have enough visual work, or means to print it – to do what I…

The Magic of Costa Rica – Playtime 😊

Aging Gracefully – A Creative History : My Blog Feb 2011 – Jul 2019 😊
“…the only thing I fully realize right now is how much more I can learn if I want or need to. And with all the ideas I keep having, and all the social media opps available today, that should be fun!”

Surprise Print Sale at the Old Bakery & Emporium Austin Texas 😊
Luckily the six year old was playing hide and seek with his two grandmas and I had a few minutes to enjoy a little art chat. Plus, Debbie asked if I would take a photo with my print with Myles in front of my original. That rivaled the ice cream treat that family and I’d…

“…the convergence of my being ill recently, which extended completing our recent move a bit, and seeing my proposed next eBay art offering for the first time in months in good light — all got me scooping paint from a tube with a thin palette knife and reworking, ‘Peace Among the Mist.;”

#AgingGracefully – Easier to Hit Fitness Goal Metrics (hint: a lower target heart rate) – Yes! 😊
It was a relief for me to see that going to The Y or gym, work up an out of breath sweat on the elliptical, see a reading between 137 to 152, and realize I wasn’t merely “out of shape!”

New! Sunrise Sunset Photos From Costa Rica – la Pura Vida!
Not only is the imagery in Costa Rica wonderful, the people are warm and gracious and the food is remarkably preservative free! Be aware though, electricity is expensive (as the first country moves to 100% renewable energy) and the weather is hot – even for a Texas boy like myself :)
