Art, Coffee, Tea and Blogs


After coming across this first link from the Google Cultural Institute, I thought I'd take a look at some interesting art this time.
The ultra definition in these works is incredible. Working with museums around the world, Google has used its Art Camera system to capture the finest details of artworks from their collection.

Next up is a unique way to work with color. And if you have the money, yeah I know I'm talking to artists, go here. If not enjoy the link

This past month I was sidelined from working for awhile so I had the time to explore and download a new library of art catalogs. Create your own library from this extensive list.

This article is a bit older but the voices in it are more than worth listening to. so enjoy what women artists have to say across a number of generations.


okay so I hope you have a pleasant rest of the month and of course remember

Art, Coffee, Tea and Blogs


So my doctor said I should cut down on coffee...I think I'll cut down on doctors.
So here it is May. The weather has warmed (if you live somewhere other than Fl. where its been warm for quite awhile), your fingers don't ache as much from the cold and you're ready to move forward with all of those emails to galleries, contests and other artists. BUT, remember that doing for yourself is important too. So here are a few links to wander through when the rest of the world can wait!

This 800 page color book was created long before Pantone. It’s hard not to compare the hundreds of pages of color to its contemporary equivalent, the Pantone Color Guide, which wouldn’t be published for the first time until 1963.

I've been feeling a bit nostalgic so I thought I'd start this list with access to old computer games from the 80's and 90's

So enjoy the beginning of May (I will my birthday is May 7th) and as always remember
