I haven't been creating lately, I really have no desire to. Sometimes I think that I would like to see how others see my work. Maybe it is best I don't know, my self-esteem is kind of fragile. Anyway the point is moot since no one visits the site as far as I know. There has been some success in other areas, I have had my work in juried shows. But the work has been abstract, not at all like what I currently do. One area of frustration is the inability to draw anymore. Once this was not a problem, lately it is a source of some irritation. How does one develop the skills to draw? Actually it is not the ability so much as the desire. A watercolor course that I took some time ago showed that my drawing skills were still intact. A little rusty perhaps, but still there.
How does one get their blog noticed? What does it take to get the work out there?
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.
