Happy Blogday!

Well Fur in the Paint is officially 1 year old today. And like any 1 year old we are still trying to figure out how to go from crawling to walking. I’m guessing by the age of two, I’ll be a terror and running wildly about. (okay the baby metaphor is losing steam.)

Blogging has been more challenging than I imagined when I started. I mean the fluffy bunny posts are easy enough but anything that has real content definitely takes effort. Because I really knew nothing about blogs (I didn’t read any before I started my own) I had a serious learning curve. Not to mention learning how to use the software and upload pics. Kids these days are born with electronic knowledge, I, on the other hand had to painstakingly learn. (Don’t they say learning new stuff as we age is good for staving of Alzheimer’s?)

Here are a couple of the unexpected good things that came from blogging.

  • It caused to me really think about my art process. (I always just let the force flow through me without caring how it happened.) And while I still do that, I now also think about how and why I do what I do.
  • I developed some relationships with other artists. The blog has introduced me to people I would never have met. And in some ways it has replaced (not that they ever could be replaced, what I mean to say is that it provides a similar function) as my art group.

    • Of course the end goal was to generate and direct traffic to my website. The blog has done that, but in a limited way. I think I spend too much time talking and not enough time offering the art for sale. Something to work on for next year. (I’ll probably keep talking as much, I’ll just fill in the quiet with artwork.)

    So anyway Happy Blogday! to me. And Happy Thanksgiving Eve to all of you!

      Thanks guys. When I started I wasn’t sure I’d get this far with it. Now though, hard to imagine not continuing on. :)
