“So, Dan – what are you doing tonight?” After 40-plus years, I can still hear one of my best friends from MTSU asking that dreaded question. No matter how many homework assignments, romantic entanglements and writing deadlines occupied my plate, Jack would invariably cajole me into some series of nerdy antics. I have felt guilty over the decades. Family responsibilities and work responsibilities (and let’s face it – channel-surfing responsibilities) ensured that (a) I drifted away from Jack...

Well it is a cool morning here in our little valley, it is very quiet and there is a little breeze blowing.

The cats have had their breakfast and are now laying in the warm sunshine. We still have some things to get done outside before the weather turns cold but not as much as we did. I heard the...

In the mind of an artist, an endless stream of ideas circulates—a library of colors, themes, and projects all calling for expression. Amidst this creative disorder, one invaluable tool emerges as the keystone of the artistic process—the pocket sketchbook or notebook. It serves as a diary for these developing concepts before taking form on canvas, sculpture, or any type of art project. This unassuming companion, often the only semblance of order in the tornado of ideas, is the lifeblood of artistic creation. The sketchbook is more than just a r...
