Introduction

As the title infers, this blog is a place where I intend to collect my artwork for viewing… but not a blog about portals to other worlds populated by talking animals (perhaps also wrongly inferred by the title.)

I hope that the main difference between my non-virtual portfolio (the actual one dwelling at -- you guessed it -- the back of my closet) and this new snazzy virtual portfolio is that others may actually (or is it virtually?) see my art. I’m not exactly one to drag out my portfolio at dinner parties to show my guests. Heck, I’m not one to even throw dinner parties. So I’ll give this blog-thing a try instead… and I do apologize that you’re not invited to dinner. My wife’s a great cook.

Of course, like just about every other visual-artist-blogger-person, I guess I’m somehow hoping that a blog will inspire me to create more often. Ha, ha. I’m laughing at my delusional self here, and not at all of the other artists who I’m sure that this motivational device is working for.

Untimately, though, I hope somebody enjoys a piece or two of my work as much as I’ve enjoyed the fantastic artwork I’ve viewed on so many blogs. What a beautiful gift creativity is.
