Welcome to my new blog, “Eye of the Artist | John Azelvandre Art Notes<\/strong>“. \u00a0This blog succeeds and essentially replaces my old blogger blog “Hominy Grits<\/a>,” which had served me so well for over 11 years. \u00a0There were certain limitations with that blog and the best solution for me is a new start for a new year!<\/p>\n

I want to make this new start and refocus and re-energize my blogging activities solely\u00a0on the arts, and particularly on my own art. \u00a0Additionally, I’ll be offering occasional observations on particular art happenings and events I come across, on artistic inspiration, and so forth.<\/p>\n

This blog is a new work in progress! It’s pretty bare bones at the moment. \u00a0Stay tuned for more interesting developments. \u00a0Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
