About 10 years ago, I used to draw, paint or work on some type of art everyday. Then came college. I grew busy with school work, I got married and I started a career in that field, youth ministry. Along the way, I drew only occasionally… usually in my college notes or on napkins in […]
I’ve been thinking about this the last few days and have come to the conclusion that one of my favorite paintings was one that was stolen in 1990 from the Gardner Museum entitled “Storm on the Sea of Galilee” by Rembrandt.

I wrote awhile ago that Penmanship is a lost art. I also commented that my own handwriting sucks. Well, I have decided to do something about it. So in order to document the improvement, I decided to make a font out of my crappy handwriting.

I have a battle that seems to endlessly rage on for me as I create different works of art on my own. It’s the idea that there seems to be a technical way of achieving certain results with certain medias, and there’s my own way which changes from time to time.
For myself, I know that […]
Sometimes it’s hard to find a new artist. Okay, let me rephrase that. Sometimes it’s hard to get out of your own rut at times and look at new artists.
I know for me, I often find one artist I like and just dwell on their work for awhile. So I want to know some new […]
Laurence Stephen Lowry (1887-1976)
Born November 1, 1887 Lowry became famous for painting the urban settings in which he lived and much to his chagrin, worked.
Lowry retired from the Pall Mall Property Company in 1952. During his career he had risen to become chief cashier but he never stopped collecting rents. The firm had supported […]
