I have been there more times than I can remember. It was the place to go when I wanted to feel truly refreshed. There is just something about the place that always allows that to happen. It is about a two hour drive from my RetCom apartment and is called “Pleasant Hill Shaker Village” near Lexington, KY. The reason this popped up now is the … Continue reading A Last Time Memory
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
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
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 above is my Mosaic of Life wall that was invented last year. This is the third time I have re-fabricated it. I think I finally … Continue reading Mosaic Of Life – Good Is Never Good Enough
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
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”. I hope you like the change? On a side note, I will be on hiatus for the next week or so working hard to enhance … Continue reading Somethings Different?
I am always on the lookout for truly creative things. Things that are a‧vant-garde. I don’t use that word very often but it definitely fits here. The lighting in this Cleveland restaurant was very unique. Of course, I had to spice it up just a little more with one of my photo apps. Continue reading A‧Vant-Garde
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 artsy time and your visits here. Looking at the bright side, episodes like these make me appreciate the time I have left on this earth. … Continue reading Artsy Dry Spell
I have been waiting for 16 years to find a way to get this image to you. This photo needed no morphing. It is what just came from the camera. The critter was about an inch long, and the background is an aluminum pipe farm gate. Continue reading Sci Fi Bug!!
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
This picture is a lithographed version of one I took in downtown Chicago in July 2011. I think it was near the Chicago Art Institute. Continue reading Chicago Stoplights…
Bursting Outside The Box Experimenting with colors to set a mood. These do seem like happy colors, don’t they? Continue reading Doodles – Happy Swirls
I still remember that November morning in 2012 when I walked outside and saw this image. I had seen that view thousands of times in our 21 years stay at the country homestead. I was in awe of the beauty. The photo used for this piece of art was impressive, but I kinda think “My Mind’s Eye” version is even more so Continue reading Good Morning Sunshine
One of my favorite indoor plants is the Nerve Plant. So, I decided to make a version of it in My Mind’s Eye Continue reading Nerve Plant Personfiied…
I am always awed when I take in-depth pictures of flowers. This ArtsyDoodleDandy version is one of my favorites. . Continue reading Into The Depth 2
