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…
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…
Wild Is… And Where We Go From Here
The image above is another of my random thoughts of CLA (Clothesline Art). I am getting more comfortable with these off-the-wall images (you might call them doodles), but this is not a stopping point. Instead, it is just a part of the overall road traveled. Eventually I will get much more sophisticated with my art appreciation. That thought brings up a story I need to tell you. Continue reading Wild Is… And Where We Go From Here
The Side Effects Of Being Smart
As long as I can remember, my mantra in life has been Think For Yourself, Question Everything, Never Stop Learning I pride myself in living up to those words in my life. BUT But, putting these words into action sometimes has some serious side effects. These three things and an IQ test have shown me that I am smarter than most people I have encountered in life. I don’t mention being smart much on RJsCorner, since sometimes people just hate those who are smart. Let’s face it, some people don’t like those who think differently, and smart people usually act … Continue reading The Side Effects Of Being Smart
I Need Projects…
I have been making some stupid mistakes lately! I have been putting two of my most personal characteristics in conflict with each other. Those two characteristics are:

Everyone Sees The World From A Different Perspective
There is no one on this earth that sees the world the exactly the same as someone else. Two factors, Nature and Nurture assure that from happening. Nature is our genes we inherited from our parents. Nurture is the things we learn while we live our lives. Continue reading Everyone Sees The World From A Different Perspective
We Don’t Know The End, Until We Get There…
The more I learn, the more I think for myself, the more I question everything, the more I realize I know nothing. Of course, this is one of the primary lessons from a guy called Socrates. He lived about 2,600 years ago. What I mostly get from Socrates is that even though there is way more to learn than we have years on the earth, we must never stop learning. The more we learn, the more we can contribute to allowing future citizens of earth to have a better life than we had. This finally brings me to the main … Continue reading We Don’t Know The End, Until We Get There…

Never Stop Learning
I must admit that I sometimes don’t practice what I preach here on RJsCorner. As a background item, I spent a good deal of time in 2018 putting together my 10 Pillars as shown to the right. Following my hometown homeboy David Letterman, and also the Ten Commandments I was determined to keep the list at ten items only. That meant over a couple of months things were added and things were subtracted. The final form gelled about early October. Looking at the list some might be surprised that I didn’t include anything spiritual, but that was done with a … Continue reading Never Stop Learning
