The Synergy Of A Doodle & A Quote…
I certainly enjoy MyArtsySide here at RJsCorner, but I am finding those things for the most part to be entertaining but not mentally challenging. I need additional things to help me live my life mantra of Think For Yourself, Question … Continue reading The Synergy Of A Doodle & A Quote…
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.

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
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
CLA10 – Bird(s) Aflight
In my travels through hundreds of museums, I have discovered that I have an affinity for shadows. I just love how this one bird sculpture becomes several just through lighting. Continue reading CLA10 – Bird(s) Aflight

Shadows of the Industrial Age
Here is an artsified version of a photo I took at Henry Ford’s Greenfield Village a few years ago. I think it is a good illustration of the now disappearing industrial age. Continue reading Shadows of the Industrial Age

Lessons Learned…
My travel into artsy in 2025 will be like high school lessons. In 2024 I graduated from grade school via “RJsMosaic of Life”. This year I move on to a higher level of learning. I certainly realize that I don’t have enough years left to become very proficient at this craft, but I will go as far as I can with the time I have left. Continue reading Lessons Learned…
NYC Surrealism
I never in my wildest childhood dreams thought I would live close to New York City, but that happened between 1996 -2000. During that time we had several of our Midwest clan visit and each expected a personal tour of the Big Apple. For the most part we obliged them. Continue reading NYC Surrealism
“Walden” Weekends To Artsy
Of course, “Walden” refers to Henry David Thoreau’s book about spending 2 years in a crude log cabin by himself near Waldon Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. Many scholars believe this is one of the best-known non-fiction books written by an American. It was published in 1854. He did it as an experiment to live a simple life, escaping the complexities of society, and to deeply contemplate and reflect on life.
How does this relate to this post? Continue reading “Walden” Weekends To Artsy
Mosaic of Life #140 – The Forever Me
In my days before I put aside the idea of life after death, I wondered what I would look like when I went to heaven. Would I be an old guy as when I die, or maybe a baby starting all over again. Or maybe the bigger question is what do I want to look like? I answer that question with the blurry photo above. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #140 – The Forever Me
