Getting there...

 Who knew that redesigning a website could take more than a year?!  Of course this is a very different year from most...in the past my dear webmistress, Sonya at Morgansites.com and I would mostly sit next to eachother in front of a computer and say "let's change that, can we move this here, let's add the other thing, do you want this, I'd like to delete that..."  

And instead, in this COVID year, we've exchanged a seemingly endless parade of emails and the occasional phone call!

This is both good news and bad news...I can take my time, mull over things at odd hours, and make sure that's really what I meant, and wanted to, say.  On the other hand...the bad news is that I can take my time, mull over things at odd hours, and make sure....well, you get the idea.  

Tweak, tweak, tweak, tweak...but we're getting there, with the help of dear friends and my beloved knight, who have acted as beta readers.  I can't thank YOU enough!

Just had to include my little poppets...

and of course the creatures we live with...

So far, this hasn't made the cut...

...but this has, talking about building our dreams...


There's a new gallery of my work in a number of genres, including journal sketches, paintings, fantasy, pottery, and professional illustrating jobs from years past.  There will be a few videos, mostly of the how-to persuasion; the art tips are all there, so are the mini classes, and a new Bookshop...

Can't wait to show it to you!

Meanwhile my classes, tips, and books are still available on my somewhat chaotic old site, here: https://cathyjohnson.info and I am very grateful to all of you who have visited, reached out, become students and friends over the years.  You make it all worthwhile!

Please do comment and let me know what you think...

4th art tip CD is out (and has been for a bit!)

Ooops, forgot to mention that I got the 4th art tip CD up on my CafePress store and my website.
Here's the info from my website catalog: "Art Tips Tutorials 4" from Graphic/Fine Arts Press (Data CD) This CD takes us to 100 tips, the fourth in the series of how-to, inspiration, information and more. These tips for artists are compiled here for your convenience -- take with you for use anywhere, on your laptop, lunch break, vacation, Internet Cafe, wherever! No Internet connection necessary. Make art wherever you are, with inspiration and guidance from artist/author/teacher Cathy Johnson, contributing editor for The Artist's Magazine and Watercolor Magic, author of The Sierra Club Guides to Sketching and Painting in Nature, and 7 North Light books for artists. These are compilations of the free art tips on my website, for the convenience of those who can't always be online or who prefer not to browse, and as such, I keep the prices down!
