New Web Site

Happy New Year and I hope the Christmas you had was enjoyable. I had some fun over the holiday period but I was also working on my new web site.

New Web Site
The address for the new web site is www.EdP-SpiritualArt.com (you don’t’ need the Capital letters, it’s just a bit more readable with them). I’m using a new method of building a site. This is based on providing content. That means words and information. So now I’m working on developing my writing. It does make sense that surfers on the net are looking for information and pictures as far as the search engines are concerned don’t rate highly. So I’m going to more words to my pictures, to the descriptions of the pictures that is.

I’ve also added a few articles on spiritual topics to the site along with a number of pages of inspirational quotations. Have a look and let me know what you think. If you see any misspellings or blunders please tell me about them. There’s a comments page on the site which you can fill in. This is a work in progress so I’ll be adding bits to it all the time. Check the New Stuff page to see what’s been updated or added.

I’ve also changed this blog so it matches the web site a bit closer. If all this effort works I’ll let you know about the system but for now it’s way to early to tell. It’ll be months before I know if this site works any better than my old site.

Expose Yourself even more
Karen Harper’s Expose Yourself gallery is back in full swing again in Dun Laoghaire Shopping Centre. She sold over 60 pieces before Christmas and as I was among her sales I’m very happy to continue exposing myself there. If you’d like to meet me I’ll be at the gallery on Thursdays and Fridays from about 12 to about 2.

Contemplation
Over the weekend I finally got back to a bit of painting. I started working on Contemplation or the Female Buddha as a friend of mine calls it. The picture here is how it has developed. What do you think? Are there any items that don’t fit or irritate you? I’d welcome any of your comments which you think might make it better. Click on the image to open a larger picture. Here’s the last post on Contemplation for comparison.

Looks great Ed. Haven't had a read yet as a bit short on time but maybe tomorrow I get a chance.

Thanks again Ellen, take your time. The web site is a work in progress and will be updated regularly.

You mentioned NIAMH is another comment. I was thinking about entering but haven't decided yet. I see they will accept artists sharing space which might make it a runner.

Hi Ed.
Niamh do let you share space!

Thanks Karen, I realise they allow you to share space. I'll have to check their requirements and see if it will be worthwhile going in to it. It might be worth sharing the space with someone. Ellen may be interested, do you know of anyone else who might like to share a space at NIAMH?
