Chapter 3: Readings From The Heart
I’ve been asked how I manage projects, like my “Readings From The Heart” exhibit, over a long duration. Half jokingly I replied “one bite at a time”. My joke is in reference to this saying I have thumbtacked to my art studio wall. Seriously though when starting I create a general big picture, a kind…

Chapter 2: Readings From The Heart
The purpose of art, in my opinion, is to cheer people and help them through stuff. My creative challenge during a pandemic has been how to share art during stages of quarantine. In my last post I described how I’m doing three fine art exhibits in two states, in August and September, during this pandemic. Normally…

Starting Alphapets Too
As I mentioned in my last post my book Alphapets by Clancy has been such a hit at Storyberries.com that they want a sequel – and my fans do also! So this week I’ve begun Alphapets Too. For several days I looked for popular house pets that are not cats or dogs. I made a…

Clancy’s view of Tralfamadore
In Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, the (ahem) text, for my recent painting (last post) Vonnegut talks of Tralfamadore another planet where time is viewed panoramically by the Tralfamadorians. After posting about my painting “Slaughterhouse Chives” some friends said they’d like to see my view of Tralfamadore. So here, below, are several views of my…

Slaughterhouse Chives or what came from my sketchbooks
My last post featured my sketchbook pages and those sketches added to my reading in Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut were combined in my mind becoming this fine art piece I’ve titled “Slaughterhouse Chives” If you saw my last post you may recognize the man’s gesture from my “loosey” sketchbook studies. I combined the man’s…
