Mlouart version 2

Holiday greetings to everyone near and far.  My gift to myself was this fabulous new website, with blog, where I can talk about my art, my artistic struggles and successes, the life a busy granny-nanny/artist, etc...I'm sure I hear some snickers, and even guffaws from those who know me and are quite familiar with my total technophobia.  But, alas, I feel I must wade into this vast world of information-sharing, so this is it.  But no Facebook or Twitter for me.  You won't find out what I had for dinner (unless it is fabulous) or when I go to the "reading room."  You can be my sounding board or jump into it with me--your choice.  I hope to be more diligent than I have been in the past with my email.  Art is, for the most part, a solitary endeavor.  More so for some than for others.  I am of the "lonely painter" variety because of my aforementioned granny-nanny duties.  I would not change that for the world so I will bring the world to me.  It is my desire to become more focused on my art and I think writing my way through the process of life versus art and finding a balance between the two will make me a better artist and person.  So here goes.  Wish me luck!
