Art Wars


Leaf prints on Thai paper. Phillip Hoyle 2017
I haven't felt so artistically challenged for years, and it's my own fault. But I don't play a blame game in my retired life. I had the opportunity to sign up for a writing class, one on the short memoir, one that promised to get at what was hanging me up in my writing. I signed up and am now on the final sprint to get the rough draft done. It's due on Saturday morning. 

The feeling of war comes from trying to balance my need to do visual arts as well as written, to keep up my blog postings as well as write paragraphs, to solve placement on paper as well as craft  well-proportioned paragraphs. I'm not bragging, just explaining why the art prints shown here are in process. My paragraphs are as well. I have to grin and bear it and ask you to do the same. Perhaps in a couple of weeks one of these prints will show up in final form. I hope so.
