Check out this website

There is a lot of very interesting information on the site, whether as a teacher or an artist. Hone it down to visual arts for more precise info. It is very interesting and fun.

Rusty's Frustrations

Hi all AAA bloggers.  I'm having a bad patch with my art production.  I'm frustrated and find myself unable to create meaningful stuff.  I have messed up one piece this week that I was preparing for the East Meets West show.  Today I was only able to make two scribbling drawings.  I'm also struggling to get my new web site up and running.  There I'm frustrated with the process of getting my domain name transfered from one company to another.  But I am persevering.  The junk in my head is saying that I should just give up.  I'm glad I know that is just junk.  A friend told me that when she doesn't feel inspired to create, she tells her not too well self to just sit and watch while the artist does her work.  Then she just continues with her work on whatever she is doing.  I'm committed to proceeding in that way.  Thanks for this chance to share.

Welcome

Hey fellow artists!
I'm new at this blog stuff. This is the first time I've blogged!!!!!
Hopefully, we will all use this and become members of the 21st Century.
Feel free to post books that are of interest or websites, upcoming shows around the area or around the country , also workshops, classes, or lectures of interest.
This could be a useful tool if we all learn how to use it.
