Ed’s Art Net is a sharing of my youthful art and oldful thinkings. I do 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’m building eds-art.net for my family and me. Daddy, pop-pop’s wacky old art asylum. A calming refuge in a stormy world. An artful, mindful website the grandkids might like to read when they’re old enough.
I’ve been editing Ed’s Art Net for a long time
online since September 2007
…but not the same
I started out NOT knowing what I was doing. I just had a keen desire to show off my artwork. Development of purpose has been a lengthy learning and cranial “cleansing” process.
God deserves all the love and credit for any of this site’s healing, leading, binding messaging.
Development for me, has been like cleaning up a mess in the yard during a storm.
Effort was easier after ‘freedom’s elation’ when I first retired in 2020. The disappearance of deadlines and commitments – like nighttime sparks above a roaring fire – was, for me, emotional emancipation. And website editing entered a major paradigm shift when I discovered how to build text hyperlinks. I finally fully retired at the end of May 2024.
In website informational conclusion…
I’ve been told eds-art.net gives folks pause to think. Thinking can lead to understanding. I hope I’m easy to understand without a whole lot of thinking. I write from the heart just like with my drawing and painting. I’ve always focused on an imaginary audience, ever since I was a kid drawing cars and airplanes.
This website is a good way to “speak” to my kids kid’s kids that I likely won’t see in this lifetime. Walt Disney said it was “fun to do the impossible”… maybe leaving something that speaks to our kids kid’s kids is a part of what he was talking about.
I’ve also been told my website sounds a lot like preaching. I’m not a preacher. I’m a commonologist, artsyologist – husband, father, and pop-pop who sometimes sounds like a preacher on his website.
It is what it is.
This web place isn’t without cyber criminal safeguards, but while I do expect the world to end someday, I don’t expect it to end just because eds-art.net goes offline.
