More Than a Little Craziness in Most Artists

Most artists are a bit strange. I mean, why are we compelled to create when there is just a slim chance of selling our work, and almost no chance of being paid for the hours we spend on each project? This applies to painting, and to writing...and acting, dancing, singing, stand-up, and all the other wonderful things that the creative world offers.

So this week's production is definitely a bit odd. Gran rushed into my head for a few days, and then I needed my favorite view of the sea. When Gran comes a-calling, you know I'm in the nuts zone.

Hope you like them.

It's time for a bit of Gran today. I haven't featured my work for a long time, other than the Picture Trail Thingey at the top that no one looks at - it's just a logo to you now, isn't it?.

These are some of my Grans from way back, some sold, some for sale. I've put in the captions, because that's part of Gran's silly charm.

Oh, Gran, What Will Dad Say?
