25 Frames

tried to get as much done possible before the rain started. Cut and put 25 frames together. I still have to paint the frames, and then paint pictures to put IN the frames.

new gallery feature on my blog

I have added a new section to my blog. It is a gallery of my artwork. I am testing some new technology to feature my artwork online. I plan to continue adding work to the gallery, so pay it a visit every now and then. Here’s a direct link to the gallery

I am happy with the results, but let me know what you think…does it work for you?

After blogging with blogger for almost 2 years, I have decided to move my blog from Blogger to WordPress. I would have made the move sooner, but no change is always easier than change.

With wordpress, my blog will be hosted on the same server as my website. It is open source, and I will have opportunities to customize the blog in a wide variety of ways.

To make the transition smooth, I will publish new posts on both blogger and wordpress, but may eventually phase blogger.

So if you bookmark my blog, please change the url to:
http://www.kenswinson.com/wordpress/

If you subscribe to the feed, here is the new rss feed:
http://www.kenswinson.com/wordpress/?feed=rss2

If you don't know what an rss feed is, you may want to read this.

I would like to hear from any bloggers out there who have made the switch from blogger to wordpress. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

I am an artist

Between school and personal stuff, I haven’t painted for a little over a week. As soon as i smelled the turpentine, and started putting paint on the canvas, I was overcome with joy. I feel awkward in most situations. It’s only while painting I feel in my element. Why do I let so much time pass?

It’s kind of like running. I am good at finding excuses not to do it, but once I get started, I wonder why I waited so long.

Richmond Marathon

The race results are not officially in, but me, mom, sister, and brother-in-law all finished. It was perfect race weather. Richmond offers great views on their course.  

Mom is a wonderwoman!  Around mile 10, she started passing people at a constant rate.  She kept it up for about 8 miles.  As she passed a number of younger, talented looking athletes, I thought to myself,

     "That's my mom!"

At the beginning of the marathon, she swore "This is my last one..."  laying in bed at the hotel after the race, she looks at me and says, "ok, maybe one more".

I hope I can keep up with her when i'm her age.

Plein Air Sunday

Sunday, I met my friend Susan for some plein air painting in the countryside. It was a little cool and windy, but the colors were changing.
