Cocoons
I managed to get through twenty years of my work life without cubicles. But then it had to happen. When my job was moved from Indiana to New Jersey in 1996 I went with it. I really didn’t have a … Continue reading Cocoons

HMS – My New Plant Stand
I thought someone might appreciate my new artsy plant stand for displaying my ever-increasing plant collection. The stand itself is very artsy. I like that. Continue reading HMS – My New Plant Stand
Scribbling On The Margins
I am a scribbler on the margins. The body of the first draft of any post here seldom gets through without some serious corrective scribbles on the margins, at least the e-margins. I don’t use much paper anymore, so maybe … Continue reading Scribbling On The Margins
Celebrating Art
The theme I celebrate for this month is My Artsy Side As usual, my Aspie traits demands that I dig deeper into subjects that interest me. With that in mind, I have decided to dig deeply into unconventional art. Of … Continue reading Celebrating Art
Outsider Art… And Other Such Things
After many months of study and experiments I have currently settled on two versions of being artsy at RJsCorner. I have also renamed the general category to Outsider Art. This post will kinda explain what all this means. Continue reading Outsider Art… And Other Such Things
I Need A Brain Duster
I just finished a book entitled “Embracing Retirement” by Gary Tretwell. It gave me some new insight into how to live my final years on this earth. I need something that exercises my brain just as much as you do … Continue reading I Need A Brain Duster
A New Category of Artsy At RJsCorner.
Welcome to a new category of art on MyArtsySide. It is called Outsider Art. The term was invented by french artist Jean Dubuffet in 1948. Here is a little about how he describes it. Continue reading A New Category of Artsy At RJsCorner.
Lost In My Work
I am now pretty deep into becoming artsy, but until recently, I have not bothered to try to learn the things that could make me a true artist. Yeah, I have read a few books on various art subjects, but I have up until recently been “flying by the seat of my pants”. It’s time to really focus in on what artsy really means. Continue reading Lost In My Work
Clothesline Art – Another Auburn Closeup
There is nothing quite so artsy as the cars of the 1930s, especially those found in the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum in Auburn, Indiana. Continue reading Clothesline Art – Another Auburn Closeup
Day In And Day Out – LOMO Life
Now that the end of my driving days are creeping up on me, I am taking some time to consider what I want my day-to-day life to be like going forward. My retirement community apartment will likely be the last … Continue reading Day In And Day Out – LOMO Life
I Am Determined…
One of the things in life that I have constantly struggled with, especially in the 25 years since I left the corporate world, is purpose. Like most of us, I imagine, I need to think I am contributing to making … Continue reading I Am Determined…
Mosaic Of Life – Good Is Never Good Enough
I often kid about it, but it seems that I have to do something at least three times before it is good enough. With that in mind, I want to show you the current status of my artsy projects. The … Continue reading Mosaic Of Life – Good Is Never Good Enough
Abstract Art Is Kinda Like…
Abstract art is kinda like a picture puzzle that has yet to be assembled.
The pieces are all there, and it is up to me to determine what the puzzle looks like. Being that I am getting more forgetful in my old age, I don’t know if I have told you that I have become a picture puzzle fanatic. Yeah, this is another side story. 🥴 Continue reading Abstract Art Is Kinda Like…
Somethings Different?
Maybe you noticed that RJsCorner’s layout is different than it has been. This layout is simply more conducive to my current direction for RJC. I am moving to a much more image oriented site with my “Mosaic of Life”, “MyArtsySide”. … Continue reading Somethings Different?
Artsy Dry Spell
CLA – 27 I have been away from RJsCorner for much of the last 4 weeks with some health issues. Nothing life-threatening but very annoying. I am pretty much recovered but still not back to 100%. I really missed my … Continue reading Artsy Dry Spell
How About “Honorable Mention”
I am having so much fun with my artsy projects, I just can’t seem to know where to stop. Continue reading How About “Honorable Mention”
My Christmas Tree Brain
All my life I have known that my brain must work differently than most around me. By age 6 or so I made it a regular thing to lie out in the dewy grass at night and just take in all the stars above me. There just seemed to be many more stars back then, but I guess it was because we hadn’t lit up the nighttime sky as much as we do now. Continue reading My Christmas Tree Brain
Core 4 – Spotlight & InSearchOfAmerica
During my 55 years of traveling across America, I have taken thousands of pictures, and have only managed to show you a small portion of them. I came up with a couple of ideas to partially alleviate that. But then again, maybe the primary reason for these new subjects is that I want to get my mind off all the insanity presently going on inside the Beltway. 🤬 Continue reading Core 4 – Spotlight & InSearchOfAmerica
Sunrise Fisherman
This was one of my first artsy images. It was created in 2017. It certainly deserves a place on my Clothesline Art wall. As the title says it was taken on the St. Lawrence River. Click HERE if you want to see the complete story Continue reading Sunrise Fisherman
I Am At Peace…
This time of year I am usually struggling with depression. The winter weather usually gives me cabin fever and the ice and snow compound on top of that. But, this year is different. Continue reading I Am At Peace…
About Abstract Art…
When I started down this Artsy path I was determined not to get stuck in just one mode of art. I am going to develop my own style, but to do that I need to learn about all the various forms of art available to me. I imagine that abstract art might be a part of my blended outside-of-the-box style of artsy.
As a next step, I chose the book to get a basic understanding of abstract art. Continue reading About Abstract Art…
