Seeking and Striving....

You can read about all aspects of Van Gogh here but there's no mention of jkbees!! Oh, well, I don't want to be famous anyway!

I'm so behind in posting any of my art. With the recent long weekend I just got behind with my blog....so rather than bore you to death with picture after picture I'll just put them all over on Artopia and you can see them there if you want.

I'll just show you yesterday's work.

One more thing....back to the seeking part from above. If anyone knows of a really good upcoming online art class please let me know. I'm searching for the next one!
