I am learning everyday now just what simplicity is all about. For some reason I have been attracted to that word all my life. In fact I have numerous placards around my RetCom apartment as I write these words.

What presently brought this word to the surface of my mind is my decision to focus on line art as my artsy project for 2026. To me, getting to the essence of what I see is the ultimate challenge in my artsy world, but maybe the hardest part is then putting that essence in an artsy form. Accomplishing that is difficult, but once I learn it I believe I will truly understand what simplicity is all about.

Line art is the oldest form of art. It was discovered about 75,000 years ago in the form of images of life in cave-dwelling walls.

Since I am an “elder orphan”, I spent all of yesterday studying what line art is all about. Unfortunately, I have not been able to yet learn as much as I want. But, since

Never Stop Learning

is part of my life mantra, I will not give up this new project.
