Welcome to July—End of Feedburner

If you happen to be checking here because you’ve not received your daily email, there are two reasons for that. 

• Firstly, since the end of the year of daily apple posts, I have been taking a bit of a break. Posting daily was so good for me though that I am going to try to continue to post regularly, if not rigidly every single day. 
• Secondly, FeedBurner, the widget that brought viewers daily emails, has changed and dropped that functionality. If you’d still like to keep abreast of my work without checking here, I suggest following me on Instagram or Facebook, as it’s very likely whatever I post here will show up there as well. 

In the past week or so I’ve been working on some different things and also getting some things framed and hanging (freeing up space!) I’ll post those as separate posts for admin reasons. 

Thanks for following me thru this point and/or for just checking in and checking out my site. 

Char now on Exhibit

My family and I checked out the Maryland Federation of Art’s 2021 Eye Of The Beholder exhibit at the Circle Gallery (Annapolis, MD, USA) today. It was a treat to see my sculpture along with all of the other work in the show. I’m case you can’t make it, here are a few pics.

 I am going to keep doing apples until ai get to 365, tho not exclusively. 

PROJECT COMPLETE!

 One year of daily apple artwork posts? DONE. Woo-boo!

So that works out to be 301 completed artworks and 57 in-progress posts, including  a week of Paint Annapolis plein air work. Go me! My grandfather used to say, “He who tooteth not his own horn—said horn shall not be tooted.” So toot toot!

From this point I need to decide what to do. Blogger is dropping its feedburner functionality so daily emails will stop soon. But I think I will continue posting. Maybe not daily, and I plan to take a break from apples (!), tho I may see if I can complete a round 365 eventually. I will continue to also post on Instagram and Facebook.

Thank you for taking this ride with me. What started out as a whim resulted in SO much growth and learning and experience! 

And here is where I plug my shop—help me celebrate by getting me back in the black! I’m in the red from supplies and entry fees again. Every little bit helps! Make a celebratory purchase or donation! Every little bit helps and all are so appreciated.
