How To Check Out ALL My Paintings At This Website!

As a rule of thumb (and there are the occasional exceptions to this rule, as you may have noticed), each post at this website contains 1 or more of my paintings. So to view each of my paintings at this website, simply scroll down each page from post to post (painting to painting) until you get to the bottom of the page. Then, right there at the bottom, click "Older Posts" to check out the next batch of paintings (on the next page). Go on like this, until you've checked out every one of my paintings!

To isolate and/or get a somewhat larger view of a painting, simply click it.

Later,

Andy

"At Sea", pastel on paper; "Musicians", acrylic on paper; "Dude Sailing", pastel on paper. Andy Morgan, artist.

"Bird", a digital medium painting by Andy Morgan.

Here's one of Andy Morgan's digital paintings that-- like all his other paintings in this medium-- he completed manually via the computer paint and touchscreen programs, applying the plastic tip of a pen barrel and/or pen cap to a computer touchscreen, very much like he or any other artist would apply paint brush to canvass to complete an oil, acrylic, watercolor, or chalk in the more traditional media. The painting is called "Bird". Andy spent a few days on it. He spends a few days on lots of his pieces. Then again, on some pieces he'll spend but an hour or so of time, and be done with them.

"Cardinal", a digital medium painting by Andy Morgan.

Another digital painting by Andy Morgan. It might be worth noting that the quality of computer touchscreens varies quite dramatically, expecially in respect to how accurately and sensitively a touchscreen responds to the artist's "brush strokes" when it's in "paint" mode. Andy used an old touchscreen that was of exceptionally high quality in that respect; the newer touchscreens available to him were-- still are-- quite nice, but an individual with exceptional artistic talents needs a touchscreen of exceptional quality, not a merely nice one.

Just a brief word or two

Just a brief word or two here.

First, please check out all of my paintings here-- the digital medium paintings as well as the traditional media paintings.

As a rule of thumb (and there are exceptions to this rule, such as the post you're now looking at), each post contains 1 or more of my paintings. So to view each of my paintings at this site, simply scroll down the page from post to post (painting to painting) until you get to the bottom. Then, right there at the bottom of the page, click "Older Posts" to check out the next batch of paintings. Go on like this, until you've checked out every one of them!

To get a somewhat larger view of a painting, simply click it.

Secondly, please find "Sidebars" near the upper right hand corner of this page and, just beneath, click "links you might want to check out".  There (inside the "links you might want to check out" sidebar), you can access and enjoy a music video that shows my colleague Tony Burress improvising on his harmonica while the wonderful Dr. Roland Carter accompanies him on piano.  You'll also find links to a couple sites belonging to my art tutor Mr. Bradley Wilson, while yet another link will take you to a website filled with paintings by my colleague Mr. Jerry Morrison.

If you wish, you can check out the sidebar about Cross Plains Community Partner, wherein you'll find out about the services Cross Plains provides for the Dalton, Georgia area, and for people with developmental disabilities.

Those are but a few of the interesting-- and relevant-- items you'll find up there in the "Sidebars" section.

Most of all, however, I'd simply like to hear from you about my artwork. What do you think of my digital medium paintings? My traditional media paintings? How do you think they compare? Any favorites? If so, which ones are they?

What else strikes you?

Please comment! And thanks for stopping by; tell your friends about this site.

See you later.
