a new painting in progress and a new look for my blog


Apple eliminated Mobile Me and replaced with iCloud, which as far as I can tell, no longer hosts websites.  

Soooo ...




now that my website is offline, and because I like to snowball 1 project into 20, I took this opportunity to revamp my blog.

I've added 3 new PAGES.
Tabs are just below my darling new blog header :)



one page showing only available paintings and pricing info, uncluttered by crazy-more-than-you-wanted-to-know ramblings like this post.  Serious collectors and anti-amblers can now go straight to the good stuff without having to sift through all this chitter chatter. :)


The next page is a direct link for purchasing.


Here you can also see a section of frequently asked questions concerning payment options as well.  


And finally, the last tab explains the photo madness at the top of this post.

I'm experimenting with a new page- On my Easel.  
I hoping I will be able to show more step by step photos of paintings I'm currently working on ... 


and since this page doesn't automatically update subscribers...   

I can add photos as the painting progresses without overloading those who may not be interested.

Once a painting is complete, I'll start the page totally over with the next painting.

Anyway, all this computer fun-ness was a wonderful distraction from the website issue :) 
Hope you will take some time to check out my new souped up blog!

I'm so happy you revamped your blog! I tried to visit your website last week and was sad to see it was another victim of the MobileMe crash. :( You always have such fun blog entries, thank you for entertaining me!
