The MckLinky Blog Hop has a theme this week called “SHOW OFF YOUR ART”.
This blog hop is a chance to show off some art. Since my blog is about art, I thought I’d test this linking thing here. Supposedly a link to my blog will be included in the list below, along with other artists. Just testing.
This is an ACEO oil painting I’ve created for, and shipped to, the past winner of the Cindy Douglass Artist Facebook fan page contest. Another drawing will be held when this page reaches 250 fans, and the art will be custom made to the winner’s likes.


RESULT:
Ok, the Blog Hop works! If you are interested, here are the fast easy steps to getting your site on the blog hop:
1. Go to MckLinky Blog Hop.
2. Click the link that says, “..click here to get your simple Blog Hop code…”.
3. Get the code that works in your blog, then add the code to your blog.
4. After the code is installed on your webpage, look on your page where it says to “click here to enter your link in this Blog Hop”.
5. Add your blog page info.
That’s it. You might need to refresh your blog page to see your link.

My art has made Etsy Treasury again. I am honored to be included by TexasBeads in the treasury titled, “An Umbrella On The Beach…The Last Days Of Summer”.
As the treasury is due to expire Friday, 8:00 am on September 4, 2009, I’ve included a screen print to capture the beauty created by TexasBeads.

Thank you TexasBeads!
The actual treasury can be seen here for as long as it lasts on Etsy: An Umbrella On The Beach.

My blog has received the Blog Lovin’ Award from Pam at the Always Artistic: The Blog. Photography, art and more by Pam Hardy and by some of her favorite artists can be found on her blog. To see her work just visit her shop at AlwaysArtistic.
I was curious to discover the beginnings of the Blog Lovin’ Award so I Googled it. I believe this award is a recent phenomenon, yet from the Google results, there appears to be quite a bit of blog lovin’ happening. I had wanted to give credit to to the original award giver for coming up with such a fun and successful award idea. So I’ve attempted to trace this award back to the beginning, but apparently credit was not always given to the person giving this award. The link backwards disappeared on me.
In my research, I found that it became confusing as to why a blog was awarded, although there were always at least 5 blogs awarded at one time. Some were given this award for being a good blog reader and making lots of comments on a blog. Others were awarding people for having an interesting blog. Since the interpretation of this award is so open, I shall give this award to the following people for impacting my life in a positive way through their works:
1. Tatsuya Ishida | Sinfest the WebComic Blog
2. Rob Cockerham | Have you ever wondered…Blog
3. Jessica Sternapple | Reading Blog
4. Beth DeLozier-Hayes | Blog about Houston’s Weekly Chic |Website
5. Sherry Truitt | Blog | Sherry Truitt Studios
Congratulations! And thank you.
