77 Taking a sabbatical

AS I MENTIONED in my last blog I will be taking a break until March 2012. This will give me time to recharge the batteries as I work on a more commercial project. I also need a new hat and am willing to trade a painting for information on where to order one (see video). So next time I film I hope to be wearing a new chapeau (my old one clearly needs to be replaced!). I hope you have a great year painting and hope to hear from you again in March 2012. Many thanks!

  2. Paul,

    The second address is close but still not exactly what I am looking for. But if no one sends in anything better I will send you the painting. Time will tell. Thanks for the great suggestion though.

  5. Write more, and that’s all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what you’re talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?!

  6. Thanks for the feedback everyone! I still haven't found the right hat as yet, but I do appreciate your ideas.

    I will start writing more blog posts starting in March 2012. All I am doing now is making a list of fascinating subjects I want to explore. I think it will be worth waiting for.

    I hope to do more philosophical pieces as well, Canada, they are critical to counteract the incorrect idea that how-to videos often advance (that is, that art is merely a matter of following the right formulas).

    Thanks for the encouragement.

  9. I never did find the exact replacement for this hat. I guess the company is out of business. I did give the painting away to Alison T. who got the closest to finding a match. Many thanks everyone for the effort!
