If my records are right this is my 1400th post.  I
could tell you 1400 reasons why blogging has
been miraculous for my art career -- and will
 from time to time in the next 1400.

Once again thank you for being here with me.
I've been having discussions today on the effects
of the Internet and easy access to information
on knowledge.  In my case I know I learn so
much about art reading your posts every day.

So here we are.  Another lovely milestone.
I'm posting a drawing I've been working on --
which is an exploratory sketch for a portrait
I'll be painting.  My subject is much better
looking and will be his gorgeous self in the
painting.  But I enjoyed the depth of emotion
I felt drawing him.  In a way drawing is close
to poetry and deep into feeling.  Ideal
preparation for a portrait painting.

Have a celebrating-your-milestones day.
