Well folks, it’s been awhile since I have posted to the WordPress Blog. Yet I have been posting to other social media sites. I had some minor problems with getting the videos posted and took a break from the blog.

Tried again and seemed to have found the uploading link I needed to continue. With that I will not go all the way back to post previous videos, they can be found on YouTube. I will pick up the earlier videos with Ep 48. A good starting point to begin to bring the videos up to their current uploading to YouTube.

This video shows the progress to finish ‘The Nudge’ a 16 x 16 inch oil painting on canvas. This painting will be included in a group art exhibit planned in March.

This video also concludes focused on my first ArtStory book images with a TBT (Throw Back Thursday) segment highlighting Slide #30, 31, and 32 from ‘The Journey to Ukazoo” ArtStory book.

With work over the next few weeks to bring the YouTube videos up to date with drawings and paintings as well as the progress of creating my second ArtStory book.

Take care, Craig

so here’s how my snowman was built, Merry Christmas Eve Everyone!

There has been some glitches in getting the URL’s for the video Link. Attaching the Link by the drop down menu under ‘video’ stopped working for me. Several attempts failed and with it I stopped posting the YouTube videos I was creating detailing the creating of my second ArtStory book.

I just tried again the other day with Ep 45 and ran into the same problems. I finally contacted WP help chat and initially their suggestions didn’t have any positive result. Towards the end of the text conversation there was one last suggestion which turned out to be the simplest and most direct solution. Lo and behold, it worked, lol!!!

So even though I am now on Ep 45, with new title block and Thumbnail design these videos must keep evolving as I learn the editing and branding process, lol. I will post those missing episodes over the next few weeks to catchup and get aligned with the current YouTube video postings of my ArtStory book, new paintings, TBT (throw back Thursday) of my first ArtStory book, the current solo art show, and other art tidbits.
