Well, I am so pleased to announce that he has since then started blogging .
We had discussed various online networking and marketing approaches during out day together, and I tried rather strenuously to twist his arm re: blogging, I think. :-) For not entirely self-less reasons either. He is a completely delightful human being, who (along with his equally delightful wife) leads a rather enviable, thoroughly artistic life. And I, for one, am looking forward to reading more about it as it happens.

Richard Jesse Watson's studio is a fervent mixture of diverse, creative sundries.
Art and objects galore!
We enjoyed poking around and looking at *everything* - from art books to original art to sketchbooks to experimental pieces.
Every inch was filled with fun, and 'stuff'. (Like mine is filled with stuff. Just not as fun of stuff. And mine's not nearly as large so that it *can* be filled with so much fun stuff. [Insert pout?]).
We asked lots of questions and got enthusiastically answered and shown ever so many wonderful things and exposed to new and interesting ideas -
Like a whole counter full of objet d'art (or rather found objects being transformed into flying saucers... Why not??)

Another common thread amongst many of the artists I know is that not only are they creative in their approach to their environments, but also in their approach to food!
Behold - lunch! as an art form.
Can I tell you how charming and generous the Richard Jesse Watsons' are?
Not only did they allow us to come meet them and see their home and studio -
-but fed us a luscious lunch with all the gourmet fixings.
(That's one thing our POBL group does well - we sure do enjoy eating well!)
And our leisurely and conversation filled lunch was no exception.
Thanks for sharing this Tara, I'll go and see right now! :)
Tara, I have been reading, but not commenting (for some technical reason, comments take a loooong time!), but I have been keeping up with you. I hope you are feeling more like your former self. Surely, the summer weather must be helping?
And, regarding the earlier post about the marketing/scamming ploys of some...if it smells, it's fishy!
Off now to look at the new-ish blog!
What a wonderful illustrator!
So sorry I haven't visited your blog so often lately.
I've been rather overwhelmed with a new dog etc.
How are your chickens?
All best wishes.
Gee thanks, Tara. You know, you are the reason I am not a blogger-virgin anymore. The world has opened up. Thank you for the kind comments
Wow Tara. I checked it out and the first picture up was on with you in it. Too cool.
