Homage to Blog Friends

Expressive masks make you wonder.

These internet friends work in series style--something I've not tried; I learn from them. Thanks for the lessons!

(I missed one artist when I was on a roll--
a metalworker whose series has Stones with soul.)

  2. Thanks, Pam. I'm not sure why I began blogging--for a while I was the only blogger in my small town (now there's one other). I had no idea that I would learn so much--retaining is another story. With this, I learned that cartooning is not easy--the first one was in pencil that smeared--your cat's words kept bumping into his head!

  6. Celeste, I suspect you're right. I always have trouble with making choices. I constantly say, "Ooh--I want to try that; oh, wait--I want to try that."

    Don, we probably don masks more often than we admit.

    Kathy, you're a great teacher.

  7. Hallie, very cool! Love the cartoon. I too am grinning from ear to ear.
    Learning from me? Wow. Its funny how that works, I learn from all of you out there in BlogLand. I look forward to people's posts. I love seeing and hearing about the art that is being made, reading the commentary, the comments and thoughts.
    THanks!

  8. Indigomar, you've made me look at fields & trees with appreciation.

    Maybe BlogLand is a type of "brain exchange." Put something in--take something out.

  11. I just checked out Stones with Soul- beautiful work! I've noticed Hallie that I tend to follow who you follow and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

  12. I follow a lot of different types of blogs--advertising, economics, David Lynch. Somehow, they all seem to lead to art or thinking about art (for me, anyway). I follow most of them quietly.

    Glad you checked out the metalworking site--she writes beautifully about her soul searching series.
