A Little Book That Changed My Focus…

I’ve been looking for new project for MyArtsySide for 2026. It’s been a struggle. Put this on top of the same challenge for my other blog at RJsCorner, I have mostly just been spinning my tires of procrastination. I was determined to resolve it before the end of January. Well, I missed it but not by too much. I was browsing Amazon for books that might give me a clue for what I will do for the year.

The book as shown to the right is made up of one and two-page observations from everyday life. Since I am pretty much homebound now in the RetCom, that sounded right up my alley.

I will be using this little book as inspiration for my new “I Noticed” artsy category going forward. In addition to my usual photo and digital images I will attempt to master some hand-drawn stuff similar to the “I Noticed” book.

Another type of art I hope to become accomplished at is macro-photography, that is taking magnified closeups of everyday things and then quizzing you as to what they are. I will admit that MyArtsySide is just not getting the views I had hoped for it. I am not going to give up just yet, but that might happen sometime down the road.

  1. I look forward to identifying your magnified images. I have found doing something similar results in all sorts of interesting interpretations.

    1. Oh, I see I missed your comment here. Sorry Bob. With your encouragement I may put my immediate efforts into the macro stuff. But, how do I give you the macro image and the overall image in the same post. It seems like that would take away the surprise.

      As usual, after I have slept on it for a while I have decided to put a url link at the end of the post to direct you to the answer.
