I like your art. I might not have seen it, but there’s a real good chance that I like it. I’d rather see it than anything else. Too much art dies with the people who were too scared to share. It could be the one thing that finally inspires a great mind to change theContinue reading “Where Art Grows”

Have You Been Called?
I first saw this artist, Olivia Steele about 9 years ago when I went on my first momcation! I wasn’t going to let anything stop me. I had 50$ to spend for my first week in Florida and whatever gas I had in my tank when I got there. Kept my chin up and cruisedContinue reading “Have You Been Called?”

I made the mistake of mentioning that Johann David Passavant, (alive from 1787-1860), was theContinue reading “Correction it was Vasari”
