Lesley is a painter living and working in Portland, Oregon.
I’m working myself out of my little mental crisis, slowly but surely. I’ve been focusing on my art for the last three days–systematically going through that list of 66+ websites I mentioned before and determining which would be a good fit for me, thinking about a new artist’s statement, looking at a grant application, painting, sketching.
I’ve found a few good blogs that are new to me, and I’d like to share them with you:
- Betsy Lewis’ How to Build an Art Career in One Year - for career support
- Ken Robert’s blog Mildly Creative - for a quick intro, read his manifesto
- Patricia Ariel’s blog Mesmerized by the Sirens - I love to watch her gorgeous paintings come to life
- Daily Art Muse - because they condense the noise down to really cool stuff
- Empty Easel - a good source of art info, especially of the web variety
- Cory Huff’s The Abundant Artist - more career support, and local (to me) to boot!
- And due to sheer awesomeness: the Pancake Project - I especially like the Leggo my Eggo
I’m looking forward to reading them. If you have a blog you love (or a blog yourself (not necessarily art related!)) drop me a line in the comments.
Hi Lesley! thanks so much for the mention. I hope that you find my site helpful.
Hi Lesley,
I am glad you found my list of 66+ sites for artists and thanks for mentioning it.
You mention the overwhelming feeling - believe me, when I put it together, they all look the same after awhile
Hope you bookmarked it, because I am adding new ones all the time…
Cheers
Moshe
I can imagine! I’ll keep checking in with it, glad you are posting more!
No problem!
