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 built Ed’s Art Site for my family and me. Daddy, pop-pop’s wacky old art asylum. A calming refuge in my stormy world. A web “book” 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 my artwork. Development of purpose has been a lengthy learning process. It’s been a challenging and soothing method of helping me deal with my bipolar brain in an affirmative manner.
God deserves all the love and credit for this site’s amazingly good message
For me, Ed’s Art Site’s and my brain’s evolution has been like cleaning up a mess in the yard during a storm.
Effort became easier after I first retired in 2020, entering a major paradigm shift when I discovered how to build text hyperlinks. Now, June 2026, I’m finding Artificial Intelligence a way fun tool to interact with. Definitely way smarter than me but way not as emotional. 🤣
In website informational conclusion…
I’ve been told my website gives folks pause to think.
Thinking can lead to understanding. My prayer is for heaven on earth. Praying for help can achieve the impossible. 😇
This website would be a fun way to “speak” to my kids kid’s kids that I likely won’t see in this lifetime. ❤️
”It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.” Walt Disney (speaking to his employees)
I’ve also been told my website sounds a lot like preaching. I’m not a preacher. I’m a bipolar commonologist, husband, father, and pop-pop who sounds a lot 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 Ed’s Art Site goes offline. 😜
Relatively recently, in terms of a lifetime, I discovered writing is challenging fun, very much like drawing, painting, and guitar was when I was younger. I lost interest in those tactile endeavors a few decades ago and became more interested in raising a family. My family is my life’s masterpiece, not mistake free but built with God’s grace and help… like the rest of us. 🥰
