One Artist's Journey

I just realized that it has been one month since I started this experiment and I have 38 paintings finished. I think I have improved a lot in one month. A LOT. I am still not where I want to be, but I look at the earlier paintings and realize that I now know better what I am doing.

That is a fun feeling. I have been so bad about posting photos of my paintings. By the time you read this, I should have caught up and you will see the images I am talking about.

I just looked at the countdown clock at ShaunEllsworth.com and I see that I have 82 days left. I will definitely make the 100 paintings mark and I hope to make the 200 paintings mark.

My new web site. Check it out!

Today I put together a long-term web site where I can post my galleries. A blog is a blog and a web site is a web site. Blogs have increasingly been used as web sites. I think they will do in a pinch, but I like having a web site.

Anyway, I used iWeb, Macintosh’s (Go Mac!) web site builder. I can build a site from scratch, but using Mac’s templates is so brain dead simple, I couldn’t help myself.

I think it turned out well. You can see it at www.ShaunEllsworth.com. I know, who gets their name as a domain name, right? Well, I figured as a professional artist, I am my brand, so why not.
