Intro. to my Blog


November 29, 2006
Welcome to my blog-world!!
I have been a full time artist on Northern Vancouver Island for over 27 years and love every minute of it. My regular website: http://www.henschel.ca was started nine years ago by a Graphic Artist, Eric Beal, who now lives in Courtenay, B.C. and still maintains the site. This blog, which can be accessed through the site, will be a more personal attempt at sharing my life as an artist as well as everyday happenings. As a landscape painter, I hope to share photos of my journeys into some of the places I paint, as well as some of the stories about inspiration and perspiration, passion and pain. Art is a never-ending journey and being an artist means you never"arrive" That is the essence of the joy but also the frustration. Come along for the ride!
