Art, Learning and a Father and Son Road Trip, October 2023

It’s been a busy summer and now it’s going to be a very busy fall.

I’m finally finished with my latest art commission. I even learned how to create my own floating frame, and let me tell you, you wouldn’t think that it would actually be that hard. I mean, it’s just a few pieces of wood connected around a canvas, right?

Well, let me tell you, the process of creating a quality frame that fits together properly, and fits perfectly around the edges of a canvas is nothing that you should take for granted. I’ll have to pass on a video about what I learned at some point for other creators who aren’t seasoned woodworking pros.

I’ve learned that I don’t know anything about woodworking, but it was a great learning experience. I definitely have more to learn though. I’m happy with what I created, but it definitely has it’s flaws for sure. But, hey, it’s a custom-made frame by the artist. Flaws are part of the charm, right? LOL!

Anyway, this is about what I’m doing now so let me tell you that, now that I’m done with my big project and the fun of summer is coming to an end, I’m going to be on the road for about half of October. It’s all fun stuff as I’ll be traveling with my wife for an anniversary trip and then I’ll be driving to Florida with my oldest son for a father-and-son road trip. Needless to say, I’m not sure how much art I’m going to be creating this month but I’m going to be doing my best.

What else am I working on?

I have a lot of video from my recent art project and I’ll be working to create a video on that very soon. Follow me on my YouTub channel or subscribe for updates on new content!

Me and Brendan. Keep an eye on my other YouTube channel for a video documenting the trip!
