Website progress and jewelry sale.

I've been very busy working on my new website http://artoftheage.com . It's been a lot of work, and I know it will evolve as I start to do some of the things that I have been putting off for the last few years. All in all, a good week and the site, I think, looks really nice. You'll have to check it out for yourself. Jewelry is on sale - 20 % off - and free shipping in the continental US.
In addition to contemporary art in acrylics and pastels, I also do Pet Portraits and Soul Portraits. Gift certificates are available.

Western Black Rhino

It is very sad to hear that despite conservation efforts, people are still taking unnecessary advantage of other species and driving them to the brink of extinction. Apparently, the Western Black Rhino has been wiped out by poachers. Efforts are being made to save the Northern White Rhino.  According to one of the articles there are only 8 left in existence and a breeding program is underway to save this animal.

Getting organized

I am testing the new interface to see if this posts correctly.

Ok, it is apparently working just fine. I was having trouble posting for a long time.  So now I can start again.

October, for me, was a time of renewal.  I started painting again.
