My Website
The love of God is my inspiration and a better awareness of Satan’s worldly wily ways is a shared aspiration.
Casting calm to a busy world
Ed’s Art Net is a sharing of my youthful art and mindful reflections. It’s meant to help us both feel better.
God is helping me order my disorder. I’ve done lots of website proofreading and editing. It’s calming—like shampooing—wash, rinse, repeat. The shampoo directions don’t say “wash, rinse, repeat once”. No, it says, “wash, rinse, repeat”. It takes a whole bottle to get my head clean. If this website had another name, it’d be Calm Olive Branch Shampoo.

” A breath of fresh air”
I have long thoughts and prayers with God. I bridge our connection with my work.
Ed’s Art Net is not affiliated with any worldly organization—it’s just me, with spiritual help from my Creator, family, and friends—and technical support from the machine.
I’ve been told eds-art.net gives folks pause to think. Thinking can lead to understanding. I hope this work is easy to understand without a whole lot of thinking.
I’ve also been told my website sounds a lot like preaching. I’m not a preacher. I’m a commonologist, artsyologist—who sometimes sounds like a preacher on his website.
It is what it is.
About Me
I painted like a grown-up when I was a child.
As a grown-up, I share a child’s reflections.

Currently calming and pondering…
I’m 15 in dog years
my wife says I’m 10
my brain tells me I’m 9
well into my 8th decade
…relatively old for a kid
From Livelihood to Lifehood
Now that I’m retired, except for some unavoidable “honey do’s”, I pretty much goof off for a living. I do lots of thinking… then writing… then anguishing… then editing… then anguishing some more… finally getting around to those “honey do’s”.
My last career job was computer aided design of internet operating circuit board layouts along with a distinguished team of engineers, managers and support personnel. Prior to that I was an electronics technician evolving into circuit board design in the defense industry working with tactical missile systems. My first career job was a professional artist. During my younger years I worked many odd jobs beginning at age nine with a newspaper delivery route.
The most important work lesson I learned was from a female automobile mechanic. I was in my late teens, hating where I was working at the time, and she told me, “The best thing you can do is make yourself valuable”.
