How to Draw People, Part 2

On February 11, 2022March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing6 Comments

So who would have thought… When I started this blog in 2016, it was mainly going to be art related. I was looking for a way to give my artwork an “online presence” so I could sell items on my Zazzle store. I have to say that my top selling item isn’t my artwork after …

What’s in a Name?

On November 2, 2020May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn family history7 Comments

Today, people immediately associate the name with Kermit the Frog. But in 1916, well before the Muppets were ever thought of, little Kermit Johnson had a feeling his name would become …

"Dude, have you seen Mom's desk lately?" Foster's words woke me up from a sound sleep. We were in the front living room, where we had been helping Mom go through some family history information earlier in the day. "Not recently," I replied. "I can't see the top of the desk unless somebody puts me …

Baby Pictures
