Art Stuff 92-Cookies! Making Cookies

Under a ‘brotherly request’ obligation to make homemade cookies for Hauptcee’s visit with a finished painting I’m doing a test run. First time making ’Thumbprint’ cookies! If successful, I will make another batch just prior to Hauptcee’s arrival next week. And then there’s the wood ‘dowel’! Wood dowel???

Art Stuff 91-A Hauptcee Haupt Update! Plus what cookies to make?

With honoring my last episodes ‘pinky swear’, Ep 91 gives an update on Hauptcee Haupt’s oil painting project progress.

Also since Hauptcee wants homemade cookies when he visits in two weeks, I need to choose which cookies to make.

Oh, Hauptcee is also working on another art project destined for the November 2nd, 2023 Solo Art Exhibit at Katsea Gallery.

Art Short 2– Layout for the Art Show #shorts

Shorts, a one minute condensed version of one of my recent YouTube Video Episodes

Shown from the Craig’s Art Stuff 87 video.

Measuring the gallery walls, in-between shows while the walls are bare, for a layout to establish where selected artworks will be hung in my November 2, 2023 solo art exhibit. #shorts 

I’m showing ‘Art Short 2’ today since I posted it to YouTube.

I will backtrack tomorrow and show ‘Art Short 1’ which I posted last week but didn’t post to WordPress. My bad!!!

Was just informed by YouTube that this was my anniversary of starting my YouTube channel.

April 4th, 2020 was that ‘first step’.

I’m at Art Stuff Ep. 90 but per YouTube I have posted 96 art video’s.

I want to sincerely thank everyone that has subscribed, viewed, and ‘Liked’ this video art journal of my creating art, artbooks, prepping for exhibits, etc.

My intent for the art video project is to keep improving the art content, script writing, filming, and continue learning the DaVinci Resolve editing program.

Thanks again!!!

Art Stuff 90-Putting artwork in a metal frame & Artwork for the Nov. show. 

This four minute Art Stuff video takes a look at the steps for putting artwork in a metal frame. Also highlighting two more framed drawings that are destined for the November 2nd, 2023, Solo Art Exhibit at Katsea Gallery.

Couldn’t get to a Hauptcee Haupt oil painting update so it’s a must for the next Episode 91.

I will, I will, I swear on my little pinkly.

And yes, I invite you to join this journey to the November 2, 2023 solo art exhibit and ask for viewers/followers of my art to view, subscribe, and ‘Like’ these videos.

First part of the Art Stuff 89 video is about seven prints ordered to sign and take to Katsea Gallery. They are to join others in the print bin in my art display area. Three are of my pen & ink/watercolor images and four of my oil paintings.

Good morning everyone!

This five minute Art Stuff 89 video takes a look at prepping art prints for the gallery.

Then opening the box from last episode to get to the frames and matts.

Wouldn’t be right if I didn’t at least show you the process for framing one artwork destined for the November 2nd, 2023, Solo Art Exhibit, now would it.

So I did!! 

Next Episode: some more framing and that would be a metal frame plus an update on Hauptcee Haupt’s oil paintings.

I attended the Overlea ArtsFest Youth Art Show yesterday evening and loved seeing all the wonderful art creations by a variety of youngsters from around the area!

Viewing the 6 to 10 year olds works, it turned out I bought the second artwork I saw!

A smile instantly came to my face with the injection of whimsical embellishments this young man had included in his drawing.

In a way it reminded me of some of the drawings I did when I was that age.

Later by the chance of overhearing his question to his mom about what the red dot met I volunteered the answer that it had sold. I asked if he had any artwork in the show and he said that that one was his and I got to tell him it was now mine, I bought it. The ensuing discussion with him and his mom made my day.

In the Art Stuff 88 YouTube video I highlight seven never-seen Pen & Ink drawings that have been scanned and destined for the Nov. 2nd art show at Katsea Gallery.

Next Episode: the framing of 5 of these images.
