from the Coffee Table
Here’s a couple of pages from “Coffee, Table, Book“. I’m posting them because I’ve been doing several fine art exhibits via Caplan Art Designs (www.caplanartdesigns.com) and when people view my artwork they ask me questions like “Why animal subject matter?” and “Where do you get your ideas?” – so I made my “Coffee, Table, Book”…

from the books of Bob
“Feelings are guides not gods.” – Dr. Bob Hoke When I was in art school – and shortly after graduating – I tried wood sculpture, metal sculpture and pottery. I had a “story” of myself as a 3D sculptor. I soon noticed in each of those artistic disciplines that there were times where I was…

Then what “works”…

wine art and other wonders

Pup Fiction (fine art about writing)
Pup Fiction By Sue Clancy When I was a kid I knew a beloved Basset Hound named Lucy. Fiction writers are some of my favorite beings on this planet. Therefore all fiction writers must be Basset Hounds – correct? Kidding aside, the Basset Hound is a slow-paced hunting dog. Writers (and readers) are slow-paced hunters…
