The images posted above are examples of the few pieces I do these days using real pens and paints and brushes. When I do one I enjoy it so I tell myself to do more. But then the computer muse again intrudes and I am drawn by to Paint Shop Pro and the work I can create here. Below is an example. I can edit, re-edit, re-format, alter layouts, etc, etc. I have more freedom to explore. Another reward is my work is more likely to be preserved. Too many actual drawings and paintings have became lost or abandoned over the years - to my regret - (a too-often self-saboteur). As I grow older I am trying to remedy this. I have turned over 20 or so "art journals" I did back in the '80s over to Special Collections at the local University library and I have easily another 20 journal/collections or more. And eventually I intend to post more of them here. Meanwhile I do my work here.
