Art Is Life

My grandfather’s funeral is today, and I have had a difficult week. Therefore, I haven’t come up with anything clever to share. However, I thought I’d do something different: I would share a special post: examples of my artwork. I first began learning to draw with a cheap how-to book in September, 2020.

Between writing, art, and school. I have made it through this pandemic and given my life a new direction. I will be adding a photography page later this year: I have several pieces collecting virtual dust, lol.

Again, to all my followers and subscribers, I love and appreciate you all. This blog and the work I’m doing with it has given me the excuse I needed to live my best life.

I hope you enjoy it. God bless.

Announcing New Page

Hey, everyone. I am excited to add another page to my website. I, now, feature some of my favorite sketches, and soon I will be adding graphic art.

Be sure to go to my website, if you’re reading this via newsletter, and check it out for yourselves.

I have been teaching myself to draw, and, now, I want to share my creations. Five months ago I could not draw a straight line—no lie!

Beat the Boy; Destroy the Man 

W. Alexander Dunford  I will never forget the television’s blue light that night fifteen years ago. Leonardo DiCaprio’s Blood Diamond played. Outside, beneath black skies, rain pelted our windows and the house’s bones braced against high winds. Thunder shook the walls.  It was Father’s idea to watch the movie. He loved violence, and I loved…
