What is Your Canvas?

Are you considered an artist if this is your canvas? Really? And do you get extra art points if your canvas came from the junk store? I know Monet or Leonardo da Vinci might have turned up their collective noses at this humble tool box.  I know that probably this will never be displayed in the Guggenheim Museum.  And

I Never Promised You a Rose Garden

I never promised you a rose garden. But I did promise you a sign tutorial.  Did you think I forgot? Never. And I was going to write one….but why?

Thank You

361. Three hundred and sixty-one “impossibles.” I am overwhelmed and humbled. Seriously.
