“Vermont’s impact on my art, fiction, and desire to be fit has been welcomingly outsized for both it’s size and the amount of time I’ve been able to spend there. And if not for my wife being from Vermont, I may well have never visited and quickly learned to love its land and people.”

Awash in Dreams – One Painting, Four Digital Variations

Sheila and I eventually took the same bus back we’d taken to the Bastille monument, back to our tiny upper floor loft in a nice apartment building, rented through an early European version of what Airbnb later came into being as.

The Old American Artist by Felipe Adan Lerma – Twitter Excerpt Series
Looking back at older work, like my 80s acrylics or 2000s water soluble oils, can be lots of things : sobering 😂 and, when I spot patterns of motifs or preferences in my work, very helpful for me, enabling me to see enduring patterns of interests. The same, it turns out, even with its own…

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 😊

Adan’s Movie/Cable TV Reviews – “Midnight in Paris” Viewed a Decade Later – Better Than I’d Realized – 5 Stars +
Yet, familiar as it was, watching it again yesterday, half in the afternoon, the other half before bed (yeah, a luxury of both staying-home and being retired ❤️), remembering how enchanted we’d been seeing this together, ten years ago – it was like it was brand new again!

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 – 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.

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…

New Watercolor Upload to Fine Art America – Fall Color 1, June 2020
It only took me forever to finally post this, actually a few days, but feels like “way” longer, lol! I started it, a simple posting, assuming “no big deal” but got waylaid by a heat index of 118 yesterday, sandwiched by rare Austin summer days to actually walk more than just at daybreak 😊 But…

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…

Aging Through Covid-19, May 16, 2020 – New Paris Watercolor Art
I think if I had to name one important goal I accomplished with this small Paris work, it’s that I stopped much shorter than usual in re to feeling I overdid the image. Some may say I “way” stopped short of overdoing 😂 but I truly like the white & lighter negative spaces.

Aging Through Covid-19, May 14, 2020 – New Watercolor Abstract Impressionist Art

Aging Through Covid-19, May 09, 2020 – New Watercolor Impressionist Landscape Art

Thoughts On My New One Dollar Markup Pricing @FineArtAmerica 💵 😊
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…

Aging Through Covid-19, April 14, 2020 – Wearing Masks
Wearing masks in Austin starts (officially) today Just a few days after seeing close to 90% of the folks at a local supermarket not wearing masks, not donning gloves, and generally putting their phones and other items on the fresh produce, the City of Austin has issued an order for all folks to wear masks…

Today @FineArtAmerica I Priced My Portion of Each Sale of Any of My Prints and Gift Items to One Dollar 💵 😊
Yesterday, in my newest blog series, Aging Through Covid-19, I mentioned I’d gotten a strange notion about repricing all my art and photography, in prints, framed or gift items. I slept on it, and woke convinced I wanted to do this.

Aging Through Covid-19, April 12, 2020 – Easter Sunday
A strange thing that came to me in the morning, before going for the distancing egg hunt with our grandchild, was about my prints and gift items available via FAA (Fine Art America).

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…
