Let's get into some Artsy Stuff!

This might take a little time - I wanted an art blog, a place to collect information and ideas, to list all the artist's blogs that I want to check on from time to time, and to post some of the things I'll sketch or paint. Luckily I didn't have to recreate the wheel; I found an old blog I had already set up for Zentangling and Sketching a couple of years ago.  I'm going to use it as My Art Bag and put anything here that catches my fancy.

I know I don't have any artistic knowledge, I can't draw and haven't really done any painting, but I'm going to take some lessons and see what I can do.  I'll post some of the early works here - they will probably be terrible, but that's okay, it's a way to watch my progress and hopefully I'll see improvement as I take lessons and practice and try different things.

I'm working on creating the header and getting the layout the way I want it - I worked on it today and I think I like the way it looks, so I'll go with the art bag graphic and some of my digital graphics that I put together.  I hope I get good enough to need a real Art Bag like the one in the header.

I did a few little dangles a couple of years ago - I bought some Zentangling books and started copying shapes and squiggles.  I didn't get very far, but these are the three I found in one of my laptop art files:

More to come...
