As you may have noticed, there hasn’t been a lot of new material on my site lately. This has largely to do with the fact that I have been developing other sites lately. Among those is http://www.artisticnetwork.net. While it is still young, it already has a couple hundred artists from 31 countries around the world.

There are many extremely talented artists on the directory… and I just wanted to highlight a couple: Linda Herzog and Steve Morvell are a couple of my personal favorites, though there are so many other talented artists that it’s hard to single anyone out.

Development of features on that site is still underway.

In personal news, my Dad (Donald Olson) is currently in Doctors West Hospital here in Columbus. We took him in on Sunday (Mother’s Day) because of confusion and dizziness. At first I was afraid it was another stroke, but it appears that whatever caused this was not a stroke. The doctors are still running tests. I hope he’ll get to come home tomorrow.

That’s about it for this week. I hope everyone stays safe and takes some time to enjoy the weather and get creative.
