Late Summer, Early Morning – sold
When you look on the left side of my blog, you see something called Blogs I Follow. If you put your mouse over the list and just wait, a description appears. If you right click on one, you get the option to open in another tab. The list is there because I love to share good things.
I don’t read these blogs every single day, because sometimes I am in the Land of No Electricity (or internet), sometimes there isn’t enough time, and sometimes I don’t have a routine. However, when I return to having a bit of time (and Electricity and internet service), it is really fun to catch up.
This list gets updated from time to time. I follow a blog for awhile before deciding to share it on my “blog roll”. There has to be consistent posting, no whining (as in “Sorry for not posting in awhile- I’ve been so busy” – that makes me click off immediately, intolerant creep that I am!), good material to read, no swearing, minimal typos, good humor. If a blogger stops posting consistently or begins making excuses, I just drop it off my list.
I too am busy. We are all busy. You who read my blog have my appreciation and gratitude because 24 hours is just not long enough in anyone’s day for all our choices!
Some of the blogs are by friends, some by folks who are becoming friends, and some are by the Big Boys And Girls. These are people who are very well known and very widely read out there in Cyberspace. All of them are inspirational in their own ways, thought-provoking, and some just make me laugh.
Here are the links in addition to being on the blog roll, just in case it is easier for you (or in case Mr. Google gives the blogs a bump up in his endless list!) They are in alphabetical order, not order of favorites. Several of these came through recommendations, some through surfing the Web and reading comments on other blogs, some are people I know.

I’d love to hear what you think, and if you have any favorites yourself!

Exactly, Diana! – “honest and talented people who share their thoughts and work”. And thank you for noticing my little landscapes. They are selling steadily at a mountain resort, as they did last summer. (prolly the same 3 customers over and over. . . )
Thank you for including me on your list, Jana!
I feel exactly as you do about what blogs I check regularly. It is such an inspiration to see so much wonderful work online … and it’s difficult to get around to seeing it all.
As you mentioned, time restraints and other difficulties make it a challenge most days to even do one’s own painting and posting. But when I do have some moments to take a look around online, the blogs that are my favorites are by honest and talented people who share their thoughts and work.
Like you, I appreciate not having to endure vulgar language or excuses for not posting (although I am guilty of this last practice occasionally).
I like the sweet little oil landscape studies and drawings you’ve been doing, by the way!
