Paper Shadows #2 Mutterings of the Muses: Do you think it is possible to direct paint with your mind? I wonder.

In revisiting this … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #389 – Are You Kidding?

We Are Much Alike, You & I Mutterings of the Muses: I started having conversations with the angels & devils in my paintings and I'm not sure I cared for what they had to say.
