Long While Since Posting!

 2/2023…it’s been a long while since I was here!  LOTS have gone on since 2014!!!  Trying a website & finally giving up…too much knowledge needed for me, to create the site!  Age is a factor, I’m now 74 & trying to maintain my art life.  Other major, personal happenings, came in the way & was very hard for me to function, i.e. my only son passed away at age 41, 5/9/2019 of acute alcoholism…. I’m now continuing a shadow of my 30+ year of being an art instructor with a Facebook group & page called ART Peeps.  I love inspiring other artists & educating others in the arts.  

I still teach a little bit of art to my 2 grandsons Sam & Max, who love to create, as well as, both play drums, & other musical instruments.  They’re into sports, baseball & football& of course electronics!  They started to help me with my iPhone problems when they were just ages 5 & 7!  

I hope to keep this blog going (it’s less stressful than a website) to offer inspiration, projects, “calls for art”, & MORE artsy things!  1st photo, upcycled water bottles into a 4 panel room divider, giving see-thru capability.  The 2nd photo is my 2 football playing grandsons in this past years uniforms❣️
