As of today, August 22nd, 2025, I have been writing Lines and Colors for 20 years!
It started on August 22nd, 2005 with an article on the Art Renewal Center.
On August 22nd, 2015, I celebrated with a post about the first 10 years, in which I gave a retrospective and described my aims in writing the blog. I’ll point you to that article rather than repeating things here, as my intentions haven’t changed.
For today’s post, I’ve taken a sample image from August 22nd (or as close as I can get) for each of the intervening years, oldest first. As is somewhat characteristic of me, I think I miscounted the images. (Grin.)
I hope those of you who have been reading for a while have enjoyed the ride so far.
For newer readers, I invite you to click back through the archives at left. Some of the links in older articles may be outdated, but there is a cornucopia of art and artists here to be explored. It can be a pretty deep rabbit hole, so I’ll issue my customary Time Sink Warning.
When I started, I wondered if I would run out of topics. Ha! My bookmarked list of potential future subjects is hundreds of items long and constantly growing.
More to come!
