I'm trying out this blogger....going to see if I like it as much as I liked typepad, which cost $$, but I didn't really want to pay for it. I haven't been the most consistent blogger, so to pay for something I was only using sporadically seemed ridiculous. I plan to make a stronger effort to use this one and to post my artwork on the site. I used to keep a paper journal.... for years, actually, so the idea of doing something similar online appeals to me. What is a little bit daunting, is the knowledge that this blog is public, and therefor anyone could potentially read what I have to say... which, in and of itself is not such a big deal, but I also have a strong desire to be completely authentic and honest about what I post here, and there is a natural inclination to be somewhat guarded with such a (potentially) large audience. I guess that's what writers go through all the time. I think that the most touching art and writing is that which is really honest and touches on the human condition that we all are experiencing. So, my effort here will be to expose my life, my art, my thoughts.
