Since this blog was created I have often asked myself if this is something I want to continue. Does it contribute anything of value, does it reach others? There are thousands of blogs out there. It seems everyone is creating blogs. Why do one more?
I don't know that my work is especially attractive, it does offer me a way to say something I find meaningful. I believe in the creation of art as a way to express views that I believe in. Ideally I want to reach people. If the blog doesn't do that what good is it? So far I don't know if I have reached one person. I hope I am, why risk putting the work out there if it is just for me? If you see this blog let me know. Your input is important. Art is to be shared. It might be created in solitude but it is meant to express something words cannot. It is a way to express beauty. Sometimes beauty is in the eye of the beholder though. What I mean is that I find beauty in what I do. I hope you do too.
About Me
- Dale K.
- I am learning to share my artwork over the net. This is all new to me, so bear with me. I have been creating small watercolors of inspirational quotes for a number of years now. I work in a small format to simplify the works. I use a Rapidograph pen and Winsor and Newton paints. I spent some time in art school and still kick around the idea of going back.Art is a wonderful gift and I want to share it with others, I hope that my work reaches people in a way that my words can't. For me art has always been about healing. A way to move beyond the ugliness that sometimes exists in the world and to create something beautiful. I know that I may not create a work that is beautiful to everyone. I hope at that point the words may bring something to the experience, they are words that have meant a lot to me. Hopefully they say something that may reach others as well.
