I had to take a break from the project but I’m picking it up again now and will make another attempt. For me, the days won’t be consecutive but they will continue until all 50 8×10 canvas boards are painted. I’m using Daler-Rowney FW acrylic ink.

Art Every Day – Productivity Over Perfection

July 14, 2022 :: by Linda Jo Martin

Art Every Day - Productivity Over Perfection

Can you do it? Can you make art every day? To be very honest, I haven’t been able to. I aspire to making art every day but when I try to do it I fail every time. But guess what – even though I fail at this goal, I get back up and keep trying. […]

I sketched this at home, in a sketchbook. I used a carbon ink pen to sketch then filled in with Winsor & Newton watercolors from a travel kit I used to have, before the fire.

About Me

Hi! I'm Linda Jo Martin, an artist in training. Formerly I was a xhtml/css web designer. This used to be my webdesign business site. Since I retired I've preserved the old articles about webdesign business issues but transformed the site for my adventures in creativity. This includes art, writing, and whatever else comes up in the creativity sector of life. I also review books. I'll review art books here, but my main site for book reviews is Linda Book Lady.

Hello – I’m going to use this corner of the universe to tell you how happy I am that you stopped by to visit my site. This website has been a long-term project for me. I started my webdesign business back around 2002 and used it to supplement my meager income while my children were growing up. What a joy it was to be able to earn some money and help support the family! However now my children are adults and I’m retired. I still live in the Klamath River Valley here in far-northern California. My heart and thoughts have turned to art, something I saved for my retirement years. I call myself an artist in training, but truly, I think artistry training should never end.
