Sorry, it’s been a while since I last posted.

It’s been somewhat of a down winter. I was turned down for knee replacement surgery, so I have been rather pissed with life. I have been working on my art and writing on Medium though.

At least spring has sprung and I can get back out into my garden, even if I have to weed the flower beds while lying down since my knees aren’t up to it. I will be making a better effort to post here.

I am looking into adding a shop linked with Printful, but so far I am not having much luck getting things figured out. But I still have my other shops you can access here.

What I have been up to lately

I do need to get back into blogging regularly. I have been writing on Medium and do need to share my articles here also. 

I have also been working on painting using a program from Escape Motions called Rebelle 5 Pro. They have since upgraded it to version 6, but I have yet to be able to afford the upgrade. I am seriously enjoying it. I picked it up last fall on a special they had for $10 a program. 

Digital impressionist oil painting of a fiery sunset over the Palouse with the sun setting on the horizon with the sky in oranges, reds and pink and the fields and hills in the forefront in deep browns.

I picked up two other programs, both particle systems that create some very nice art. One is called Flame Painter and the other is Amberlight.

Gardening has started I have a number of seedlings out in the greenhouse. Most are coming along nicely. I will have to restart a couple using a force method that uses a damp paper towel and a plastic bag. I have limited myself in how many varieties of tomatoes I have started. I have been overly ambitious for the last couple of years. Too many plants, not enough places for them. Once I get more raised beds in I can increase what I grow.

That’s it for now. I am going to try and blog at least twice a week and with luck more once I get back into things.

Back to being active again

Because of a car accident way back in March of this year, I’ve not been doing much at all in regards to many of my shops. Recuperating has taken pretty much all of my time. But I am back and have even gotten out and about to take photos. Stopped at a local harvest fest on Saturday and took quite a few nice photos. Here is one I really like:

I love finding things like this to photograph. Hopefully the weather will hold long enough this fall so I can get out and about and get more.

Will also be adding more recycled computer art and jewelry to my Etsy and Amazon shops over the next few weeks to get ahead of the holiday gift season.

More updates as they come along.
