Artistic Concepts by Carolyn

Daily blog of art in progress by Carolyn Needleman with personal comments by the artist. I primarily work in oil, because I enjoy the rich texture and buttery feel of the oil as I paint. You can manipulate oil to create color excitement, drama, mood and texture in a painting. There is a pleasure in creating a work of art from first draft to finished project that excites me and fills my fundamental need to create.

Gone for Awhile

I have been gone from this blog spot for quite awhile.

I have not been producing any art for far too long. I got involved with designing costume jewelry! It has been interesting and emotionally satisfying. Not very financially successful though, due to the economic downswing the nation has been facing. People have not been spending, and I do not blame them. I haven't been spending much either.

I plan to go back to creating art, starting new week. There may be no buyers for quite awhile, but that is OK. I need to keep by skills up to date, and the only way to do that is by practice.
I think that I will be taking some classes several days a week also.

Enjoy the view, it will get better sooner or later.
