Ed’s Art Net is a sharing of my youthful art and oldful thinkings. I’ve done lots of website proofreading and editing. It’s been 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 built 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 my website 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 process.
God deserves all the love and credit for this site’s good 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.
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.
