| Back to painting after nearly 10 years....Ahhhhhhh! |
|
I stopped painting many years ago because I had a series of jobs in social work that just left me burned out. I didn't have problems with the people I was trying to help, but with the management. I found that many management people in social agencies are little hitlers, and I have a hard time not fucking with them, a lifelong character failing of mine.
BUT I started working on 2 paintings I put aside "temporarily" nearly 10 years ago, and it felt like no time had passed at all. How good to be back! I still have a little paint around my fingernails, and I intend to leave it there till it wears off.

| 1. lol...that's cool to hear. |

If you can, take some photos and put them up. I'd love to see 'em.
I can't paint to save my life, but I sure like seeing other people do it. :)

| 7. I can't stand galleries, and I found the freeware web page - just put it |
|
up yesterday, and I have to do more pics of past work to post on it.
I don't rely on art for my income, and I'm not going to take bhe BS I got from previous gallery owners years ago.
The Weebly site if very easy to use and you can put up a site in stages and still have some sort of web page to show people.
Thanks for looking.

| 9. So far it's been painless, and I have been putting this off for months |
|
out of dread.
I'm old, and not the most computer savvy person...
I think you will enjoy it.
