Well, after quite a few emails asking me to
continue with my blog postings, I have put some thought into it and come up
with a solution that should make us all happy! I will be redesigning my blog so
that it works better for me as well as giving my blog followers what they seem
to want.
My frustration with my blog was over the fact
that on average, out of 2,800 - 3,000 visits per month, only a handful of folks
( 3 - 4 ) would comment.
SOOOOOOOOO my blog will be redesigned and I will
eliminate the function of allowing comments -I've always said - give the public
what they ask for.
That's what I like about me - I always have an
ear to the street. :>)
Additionally, I will generally post weekly rather
than daily. It will be more of a painting instructional format - however that
said - and I just said it - there
will still be my enormous sense of humor (that's another thing I like about me)
and my cranky grumbling and complaining (something I know you all love about me :>).
If a viewer has a question or wants to talk about
purchasing a painting (that’s an example of my humor) they can email at
rvpainter@gmail.com.
Additionally, a second blog (sister blog) will be
started. This blog will be less chatty but will still have some of my very
witty humor and will feature original paintings in either a 5x7 or a 7x5
format. These paintings will be of the Southwest Coast of Florida and highlight
the colors of the Gulf. and will all sell for the same price.
Around the country people will be saying
"OMG I can't believe I can buy an
original JR Secor painting for under $30!!!" :>) (MORE HUMOR)
I believe in "affordable art for the
masses!!"
The name of this sister-blog will be
"AhhPuntahhhGordahhh" and
is scheduled to debut on March 1, in concert with the revamped RVPAINTER
BLOG.
On March first you will need to go to the sister-blog and signup
for email subscription. A very easy process that takes less than a
minute and from that point the post will come right into your inbox.
Soooooo my frustration with non-commenting has subsided, and this solution will make us all breathe a little
easier – no need to comment, and I won’t be disappointed when I see that you
haven’t! :>) ( MORE HUMOR)
Email conversations will be most welcome, so
again, my email is rvpainter@gmail.com. My blogging time spent has been reduced to 1
day a week instead of 5, and best of all the viewing audience still has access
to my unique combination of art, wit, and crankiness, without pressure to
comment.
That’s what they call a Win-Win Situation!
STAY TUNED FOR MARCH 1
