A Lot Going On...

https://morrisons-studio.com

 

Boy has a lot happened since my last Blog entry - shame on me!!! I just plain lost all sense of time...might be my age but its probably everything happening here and in our world outside the studio. 

In December some business issues started getting untenable...my web site provider had been a nightmare for the past 3 years and I finally decided that enough was enough...apparently being a loyal customer for well over 20 years doesn't mean anything these days? 

 I decided to go with a web provider that has been "artist based" since their inception. I wish they'd been around when I first started my first website back in the late 90's, but they weren't around yet. But I'm back up and running...its been some work rebuilding. And its been some time to get back to where I should have been a long time ago. 

One feature with this web platform I like is their "Newsletter" feature. I had all but given up on my old newsletter (not to be confused with this long standing blog). My old newsletter was created from scratch each time I published it - html coding and all...creating lots of testing and hammering out glitches. Finally the software I had used for 25 years, was no longer compatible with my computer platform...just had aged out. Should I commit to new html software or just stop publishing the newsletter? I did try mail chimp type programs but was never happy with them, but now I think its in a good place again. 

 I won't bore everyone with newsletter stories I've already published...some of you may already be newsletter subscribers of mine (?). If you're not, you certainly can subscribe for free and keep up that way, or at least catch up by checking the newsletter archives at - https://www.morrisons-studio.com/newsletter-archive At this time there are 4 newsletters to catch up on and the last two is a "two-part" story - something I have been revisiting here at the studio for the first time in 45 years! 

 If you would like to start receiving the new Studio Newsletter, you can do so by visiting - this page - https://www.morrisons-studio.com/email-newsletter 

In the meantime I'll still be keeping the Blog, and it will be similar to the newsletter but hopefully more of the same spin it has since it began over 20 years ago. The "Prairie Painter" Blog will also continue and be much the same as ever as well. Yes! I have two blogs and they have both been running for over 20 years...actually the "A Tallgrass Journal" has been running a few years longer. 

"Prairie Painter" has a bit more "art" slant than "Prairie", although they often merge much the same, and is available through the following link - https://prairiepainter.blogspot.com/ 

 In closing, be sure and check out the new web site and look for more news and tid bits down the road! (https://morrisons-studio.com

I so appreciate having you follow along through the years, and if you're new to the blog, I hope you enjoy visiting from time to time! 

Please be good and look out for one another in these uncertain times. We are made from the same cloth and we are all in this together. 

God Bless. Hope to see you on the Tallgrass!
