Dear Art lover,
With such a wide and wonderful paved sidewalk along
the Adriatic Sea here in Umag, Croatia, I thought I should get some wheels for
better (further) exploration. What I
discovered, however, is that some perks contrast with some less-than-ideal
circumstances.
I mean that as much as I love walking the sea
without much company during winter in a town full of summer tourists, I also
cannot access touristy things. After
several attempts to find some rollerblades and being told that there were none
in town during this time of year, I found some to try. The good news is that they were available for
half price! Sadly, they were four sizes
too large. I hoped that perhaps wearing
several pairs of socks would fill the gap, but both the saleswoman and I agreed
that it would not be a safe solution.
The rollerblades were simply too large.
However, she took this snapshot of me in her store, so we had some
laughs.
Sadly, she also told me that there are no bicycle
rentals in off-season. So, I walk alone
. . .
I like it here.
The people are really nice, even though I have made a point to stay
pretty much alone while I work out a lot of things.
I will be launching my fundraising bronze
casting project on Kickstarter.com soon, so if you have had a hankering to get
some bronzes at good prices, March will be the time. I included some early bird special offers for quick-acting supporters. With bronze prices and
labor at an all-time high, I can assure you that these prices will not be
offered for long.
Also, I am still having technical difficulties. I tried a new service to distribute my art
newletter (a subscription list, free). I
sent this out about a week ago. Sadly, I
am having mixed reviews. Too many people
near the end of the list have told me that they have NOT received the
newsletter in their e-mail boxes. If you
are one of those and I have not already heard from you, will you please let me
know? I need to give the company
feedback so we can determine what the problem is. Thank you!
In any event, here is the newsletter online about
Tantalyzing Tasmania:
Please share this with
anyone you think might bust a gut over it-ha!
Thank you.
