Dazzler of the Day? Who me?

/

Well what a nice way to begin the year, as one of Alan Ilagan’s Dazzler of the Day features.

Alan’s blog (ALANILAGAN.com) is always a joy, thoughtful, bright. Unlike many blogs out there his is soul re-charging , much like enjoying a cup of coffee while sitting in a comfy chair and enjoying a beautiful view.

I did a painting of Alan in 2004, Alan In Blue, and he graciously wrote the forward to my first book in 2007, Summer Moved On.

I’ve ‘known’ Alan for years, and even think of him as a friend, which is odd because we don’t hang out together, have maybe met once in person, and don’t chat. In 2003 (almost 20 years ago!) he first reached out regarding my artwork, which I had only been selling for a couple years. That led me to his writings on his blog. I think we developed a simpatico relationship based on our take aways from each others modes of expressing ourselves, his writing, and me through my art. It’s from this that makes me feel I ‘know’ him and he knows me…much better than people I have had way more direct interactions with.

On The Drawing Board: New works!

/

It’s great to have a busy holiday season, but it seems like forever since I was at the drawing board.

I also have this ‘dream’ of coming up with a whole bunch of ideas and outlines now to carry me through the whole year. The hope would be that I’d be more proficient and could quickly finish up one work and move right on to the next, without waiting for inspiration or taking time to develop an idea. Knowing how I usually work though, I don’t think I’ll make it happen. In the past when I’ve planned out several pieces at once, I’ve only managed to complete a few of them. Maybe I lose interest, my head is just not in the same place it was when I was creating the concept.

On The Drawing Board : Winter Fun

/

I know I have been lax in posting in progress pics and other non ‘new release’ blog articles and I would like to say, ‘going forward I am going to be better at it.’ I will do what I can to improve, but the truth is when it comes to my ‘art time’ I usually find I need to spend it working on new stuff or fulfilling orders or the less exciting paper work, bill paying, supply buying.

Anyway, I have my outline for this years winter/holiday piece and am excited to get to work on it.
