Well January has been a busy month for me. Very productive! I have been going full tilt on my iPad with Procreate and with each new project it gets easier and easier, not to mention fun. I have been working with AI in finding ideas for drawing and have discovered the joy of Scandinavian design. I actually own a few select china pieces with ther same style of art. Have had them since the 80's when I discovered them at a yard sale. Fell in love imediately and since then they h

Click on the bows to go to my Freebie page. Well I have done it. I have added a Freebie download page to my web site wich offers free digital downloads. I am starting with a set of Procreate brushes or stamps of bows. We will see how well that takes off and then will add more offerings to the mix.

However, it wasn't without a huge scare and a few trips to the hospital in St. John , about a 2-hour ambulance ride away, ending in major surgery to clean out his arteries. We are finally ba

Moving along with the learning of Procreate and I think I am closer to pinpointing how I want to advance with my new skills. I will be making patterns and also framing quotes and poetry but I will also get involved with creating brushes, stamps and templates to sell. Don't tell anyone but they are in actuality all brushes. There appears to be a nice market in these things and I am finding I have a knack at creating them but mostly I am quite enjoying it so far. I will keep

When searching through poetry I often find myself drawn into the Regency and Victorian eras of the great bards.
