In the early days of the interweb, a frowned-upon but effective way to increase traffic was to use “invisible” text-popular keywords in the same color as a background that would turn up in keyword searches on the popular search engines of the time. I can do the same with hashtags. #robinhoodie

My attempt at Grisaille, to be glazed with fleshtones. I learned about this in college, understood it conceptually, but never had the patience to use it. Now, in my 50s, I’m watching youtube videos and revisiting techniques I should have practiced in my 20s. #grisaille #oilpainting #art

Made a pot of Cajun-style gumbo. Was so busy making a dark roux without burning it while also talking on the phone to my elderly Mom that I scorched the sausage. Its still pretty good. Missing my Louisiana Amis in #lafayettelouisiana

A few years back, I made several of these carved hollow tree reliefs, put small oil paintings of owls and other critters in the holes. Most of them sold. I kept this one. #owls #hollowtree #atxartist #oilpainting
