I'm mainly a painter. Watercolor. Acrylic. But don't limit your ideas and comments to my own kind of work. There are a lot of very creative and innovative people doing wonderful things in art, and I'd like to know about them and share their work with everyone.
Are you an artist? What do you do? Talk to us about it.
Write something here to let us know about you or any others. I'm really excited to open our conversations to every kind of thing.

Making art is an extraordinary experience! The process of art draws me to it. And it's compelling. I'd like this blog to be a place that anyone -- artist or not -- can come and talk about their ideas and feelings about making or appreciating art. Or just to learn about art. I wonder what you're interested in.

What is it about art, any art, that turns you on?
Have you ever had a strong surge of feeling run through you see a certain piece of art? Something like when you see a beautiful sunset or a panoramic vista in the mountains or, really, anything that turns you on. I have a hard time describing the feeling, but when I look at a sculpture done by Michelangelo, frankly, I get kind of weak in the knees. Like maybe a near spiritual feeling. That sounds weird, I know. But it moves me in ways that nothing else does. What about you? Do you ever experience this feeling?
