TRAVELING ART STUDIO

I just got back from visiting my daughter, Emma, and her husband in Columbus, Ohio. It was the perfect opportunity to try my newest idea of carrying my portable, travel light, art studio. I decided that I would create with the materials I could fit into a small accordion file. I must say, it was a very successful dry run in managing to do artwork without dragging an entire suitcase along with an arsenal of "just in case I need it" items.

Whenever we weren't walking, eating, or otherwise engaged in being Columbus tourists, I was drawing and painting with my new 8 stick set of the "NEOCOLOR II" watersoluble crayons.

With that teaser I will end for tonight. My first attempts to upload images of my artwork which I had scanned into photoshop were aborted. I finally realized I need to save the files as TIF or JPG. I'll need to consult my mentor on this one.....Emma.....help! I'll get the technical things worked out and look forward to doing a post full of colored images.

For now, I head off satisfied that I have managed my first solo post after my tutorial Emma gave me when I was in Columbus. Yeah!

    Nice job on the solo post! I can also confirm the portability of this little art studio - Scott and I couldn't believe you fit everything into one bag based on the amount of art that was eventually drying on every spare ledge in the apartment.

    Also, I only ever upload images that have been saved as jpg files, so that would definitely work. I'm assuming you tried uploading a photoshop file? Yeah, blogger isn't sophisticated enough for that.
