Wordless Wednesday: Bridge of Character

This is in Danville, IN, on Cartersburg Road, just south on where Old and New US36 come together. 

  Today we came home via backroads.  i love not only the arches on this bridge, but the twining vegetation.

New to Me Resource

i LOVE hearing from you who are reading my pages.  Here's someone who added a tip for others of you out there. 

Nearly Wordless Wednesday: from my "Art Lessons" sketch book

  i think i did this book about five years ago, over several months, maybe a couple of years.  (Should've put the date in it!)

  You're seeing this now because these are the basics in the background of my doodles.  It's kinda equivalent to the computer expert knowing which button to push.   Nothing terribly difficult, just something worth knowing.
  The concept, and many of the pages are from Kathy Barbro's website, https://artprojectsforkids.org/
i came across them as individually published blog pages, but she's now collected her projects into several ebooks.
  Thank you, Kathy!

  You might notice that, though she is a school art teacher, and designs the projects, i use them myself.  Though i've been doing art since i was 2, i have learned a lot from this, and from time to time will refer to it.
  Next week i hope to show you mor pages from this, about specific attributes with which i work.

The Multi-Semester Moby Dick Course

A Blogpost About Blogging

 Just before beginning this post, i had to delete a comment asking about SEO.
 It was pure spam, anonymous, & unrelated to the content of the post it was attached to, but the question was valid.
 i'm not going to tell you about Search Engine Optimization.   If you want to reach an online following, you need be aware of it, but i'm not the person to ask.  There are tons of better sources out there.
  What i am going to tell you is

Being an Artist/Thinking like an Artist

  For ten years, i worked in my mother in law's art and craft shop.  One of my jobs was teaching classes, including decorative painting.
  Most of my students were better than me from day one, and continued to improve throughout the six week series.  Most probably never picked up the brush again.
  Then there was "Susan."
