I screwed up my website while I was improving it yesterday. The site was down for 24 hours due to a series of foul-ups. I expected the site to be down for a short time after implementing the changes, so it took some time before I realized something was wrong. Things should be back to normal now.

Migrating a WordPress site is a painful process and is something I don’t look forward to. I am currently administering a site for someone else that I developed with the static site generator Hugo. I am experimenting with WordPress to Hugo migrations.
My next YouTube video will be about the Dutch artist Jan van Goyen.

•Due to changing my ISP, I am late posting this journal entry. I finished the underpainting for Down on Prospect Avenue and started some over-painting. The painting has a long way to go but I’ve gotten this far with just a few sessions, so it’s moving rapidly. As usual, I struggled with the title for…
I moved. Did you notice? I changed my ISP today and there were some rough patches, as there always are when I do this. Nothing seems permanently broken although I haven’t checked everything yet. The last time I moved, things were a lot worse.

I am working on a new oil brush reference that is a companion to my Oil Paint Brands reference. I will discuss the brushes I’m familiar with and rate them too. I’ll update it as I have new material.I thought it would be done last week but stuff happened.
