Drawing with Edna

BLOG DOT COM COMMUNITY

    I don’t know how your blog is working.  Mine is not working, and I’m paying for it. To get images properly formatted I must upload them directly from my computer.  If I load them to an album and then insert them in a blog entry, the heavily cropped square image is all that I get.  The image is not restored to its full size, as it was in the past two plus years.  Also, newly uploaded images are spread willy nilly throughout the album, which is a problem if the album has two hundred images.  I pay to have my blog images stored, but now, not one stored image is usable.  Furthermore, the text formatting is awkward and I am unable to leave comments at other blogs on this network.  Two e-mails to the management have gone unanswered.

Meanwhile, back in the studio

    Edna and I have missed a few drawing session in the last two months, but we have been busy creating early 21st Century master drawings nevertheless.  The foregoing are August and September’s latest work.

Whirligig Design & Development

Whirligig Design & Development
Coming Soon

There has been a lot of interest in the whirligigs that I’ve shown on my blog.  I’ve decided to create a separate blog devoted to that topic alone.  The blog will include more details about construction and some plans as well.  Stay connected.
