But first, I want to mention and THANK Bill Tuman at Tuman Design for helping me with upgrades to my website.  Bill created the eCommerce page and then showed me how to populate it further.  To be clear, Bill’s creative talents which I believe are pretty significant, are NOT on view on my site- I had a very limited budget which didn’t allow for aesthetic and ‘modernizing’ upgrades.  Those efforts won’t hurt, but at this stage, it was just a technical matter of reaching out to the world via another avenue to see if I can sell some of my artwork.  Anyway, I strongly encourage website owners in need of creative and technical help to contact Bill:  https://tuman.design

So it looks likes its been a while since I made any updates to this blog page.  (If one makes a blog update in the forest, and no one sees it, does it exist?)

But, like all of us, I have been busy in the intervening time and I hope you’ll check out new, and revisit old, work from my studio!
