Plans within plans

It's been awhile. I really haven't had time nor energy to concentrate on Art. But that will be changing come June, I hope. I really am itching to get back to the studio (after a major clean-up and reorganization). This site and blog will continue to show art and artists I have found and want to share. It's all about having time and space to accomplish the task as well as funds. But as far as funds are concerned, I believe that if you have a surface and something to mark it, you can create something. If I can't afford paint, there is pen and ink and marker. Paper is where you find it. The important thing is to create. I have recently discovered a site called DeviantArt.com. They have a little widget there that allows an artist to paint with light...it's digital and a blast. So, no paint, no paper?...use light. I hope to share a few of my lastest digi creation in a few weeks.

Been awhile....

Over a year ago, I had surgery to remove a tumor from my lung. Needless to say, it has been an interesting time in my life and I have been doing a lot of evaluating of priorities. I have not put a lot of time into my art nor in its promotion and have not kept up with this blog. I hope that will change in the coming weeks as I add new finds of other artist and hopefully rearrange and get my studio up and running again. Please be patient....right now everything is a work in progress.

I really am drawn to Cappola's work via his use of color and design. These works come from and interesting mind. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

BRUCE NEW

Bruce New works in collage and drawing. Here is what he says about his work:
My work is an attempt to document my existence. To leave a visual record of my thoughts, ideas, and fantasies. I currently reside in the wilds of Kentucky, with a bird and our son, on a mountaintop, right next to the sun, where I create my artwork high on butterfly wine.
