This was originally published at According to Hoyt in June 2014. We meet today, my friends, to attempt to solve a crime. A crime against all of humanity, one which is extinguishing the life from Art, Philosophy, and even Ethics. Unlike with a human life, the existence may yet be restored to Beauty, but it … Continue reading
I was thinking about art this morning. I have so many options. I’ve got my 7″ android tablet, which has nifty drawing apps, and a capacitive paintbrush I bought, although I still prefer my own fingertips on that. I have a pentablet, not an expensive one, but it still amazes me what I can do … Continue reading
Today, for my mother. Mom mentioned she hadn’t seen a lot of photos of my hometown, and I realized I tend to focus on the little things when I look through the camera, not the bigger pictures. So while we were out this morning, I took a few shots. I’ll do more when I have … Continue reading
Again with the doodle before class. I need to figure out a better way than the touchpad of my laptop. It limits me in many ways, and although that in itself is a challenge, to see what I can create within those limits, it means I can’t let my brain stretch its wings fully. Tomorrow, … Continue reading
I’ve decided I’m going to create art every day in December. For one thing, that gives me an out if I’m too busy to blog (sorry, but reality is that I’m going to attempt a full-length novel between Dec 11 and Jan 26, plus a ten day trip to visit family on two coasts). For … Continue reading
Working on the painting I have in my head. Hit my time limit, so here’s what I have so far. I may take another 30 min time slot for it later. What do you think should go in the foreground? Continue reading
Playing with color, or lack thereof. Shot this weekend in Kentucky. Continue reading
I rarely work with pen and ink… not that way! Words, sure, but not drawing. Too easy to make one slip, and no erasing that mistake. But I wanted to draw during a class, because I do that to keep me focused when I’m not taking notes, and I hadn’t dropped a pencil in my … Continue reading
On the art front, I haven’t had a whole lot of time. I messed around with a new painting program a little the last few days, and perhaps in time I’ll be able to do nifty stuff with it – it has huge potential – but for now, well, I’m all thumbs. Part of that … Continue reading
Who Murdered Beauty? We meet today, my friends, to attempt to solve a crime. A crime against all of humanity, one which is extinguishing the life from Art, Philosophy, and even Ethics. Unlike with a human life, the existence may yet be restored to Beauty, but it will take solving the murder first, so we … Continue reading
It’s been a couple of weeks since I did an art blog, but today I am trying to catch up from having migraine yesterday, and I do have art to share… The first is just a doodle piece, which actually started out as half an owl. I don’t know why, I tend to be more … Continue reading
I was sitting here for a long time this morning, staring at the blank text box and blinking cursor, trying to think about what to write. Tuesdays, in general, I try to devote to my art. I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently, my art, whether it is the hobby end of it – … Continue reading
