THANK YOU to all my faithful followers who have supported me here over the years and for all the inquiring emails and messages wondering if all is well. All is well! Life has got busier however and I've tried to find an easier way to blog that doesn't take up quite so much of time. For that reason, I've decided to reinvent Art Propelled on Face Book (here). I will post my art compilations as well as my own work there if you are interested. Some people don't like Face Book but for the time being it is all I can manage. I do hope I will meet up with you there because I do miss you all.
Ah, me! Facebook has been the death of blogs and many of my old friends have joined the Dark Side. I do not subscribe, preferring the "spaciousness" of a blog.
ReplyDeleteBut, as you say Robyn, folks just don't seem to have the time these days. I have the luxury of being retired.
I still love reading the old type blog, Avus.... when I have the time. One of the reasons I stopped was the problem I was having uploading photos (for over 6 months). I decided to give it a try today and guess what? The problem has disappeared...so i just might continue once I am less busy.
DeleteAnd I have missed you too - your wonderful art work. (love the one at the top of this post) I don't 'do' Facebook but shall try and negotiate it now so that I can keep looking at your wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteI'm touched that you would try and negotiate Facebook to see my work. Thanks Weaver.I might find it impersonal and come back now that my uploading problem has cleared.
DeleteRobyn - I'll look forward to following your beautiful work on FaceBook.
ReplyDeleteThank you Judith. See you there :-)
DeleteHello, Robyn! How nice to hear from you and how sad that this wonderful blog of yours remains in the past... Facebook is not "my thing", but I will visit you from time to time through my husband's profile. I miss you so much! Your posts were like magic travels in the world of art, thank you!!xox
ReplyDeleteHi Rossichka! Now this is what I miss! Please visit me and leave me a message so I can chat back to you. I do compilations similar to what I was doing here but in a simpler way.Thanks you!
DeleteI must say I have missed you here. I will look at FB. I like to see what you are up to. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteLisa, thank you! We all go a long way back in the blog world and it would be sad to break ties. I hope you look me up.Blessings to you too.
DeleteGreat to see you back, I do Facebook but prefer blogs but if Facebook is where you are then I will be as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm relieved, as the others, that you are well! I am also FB adverse. I will welcome any attempt you make at staying with the blog format. I love what Avus said about enjoying the 'spaciousness' of a blog. And I've always felt uplifted with every one of your posts. Thank you again for keeping us informed.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to see all the old "faces" again. I really have missed you all too. Thank you for waiting for me!
DeleteSo happy to see your post!!! Thank you! Will catch you on FB
ReplyDeleteSee you there! You make me smile. Thank you!
DeleteThanks Debbie. Good to see you on FB.
ReplyDeletegood to see you back in bloglandia!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mo, well not quite bloglandia but sort of :-)
ReplyDeleteRobyn, I do miss you here, but also understand. I don't really like FB, but I am happy that I can find all my bloggy friends there, better than nothing. Thank you for including my painting in your art compilation I am honored to be in your last post here, it is a beautiful blog! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Annie.Yes it is great to find so many old friends on FB. There are a few things that make it difficult on Blogger. I have just discovered a new one. Friends on Wordpress can not leave comments here.
DeleteConsider yourself 'Liked' on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim. Lovely to see your smiling face again. See you there!
DeleteHi R - as you know I always enjoy your creations and your sharing - so checking out the Facebook version will continue to inspire. We all have finite time and have to work out how best to use it. Go well, create well and share well. B
ReplyDeleteThank you Barry. I so enjoy keeping up with you and Fiona whether it is on your blogs or on FB.
DeleteThis is one of those comments from a wordpress blogger that didn't get through. It came via email.
ReplyDelete. has left a new comment on your post "ART PROPELLED REINVENTED":
Robyn - thank you for this update. I want to add my tuppence-worth for those who are FB averse.
I refused to go near FB for years. It wasn't until I discovered that it was possible to use it (configure it) in ways that allowed sharing of the topics important to me (art and awakening) - and realised many folk I respected highly were using it that way, that I changed my mind. It was a liberating change!
As you know I'm a WordPress blogger, and an unashamed WP devotee. I don't know why Blogger and WP can't find an easier way to 'speak' across the platforms - it's always such a mission to try to leave a comment on blogspot... let's see how this one travels.
I have found that there are two distinct 'audiences' for my blogs - those who 'follow' them and don't go near FB, and those who follow them via the links I post on FB.
Your posts on FB are a source of great nourishment and inspiration to me - and many others. I love the way you post the images separately with links to the artists' websites. To me, you are the Maria Popova of the art world!
Gratitude!
M, that is a compliment indeed!Thank you for all the kind words and your feedback about FB. Your message finally came through to my mail box as you can see so I'm glad I havn't lost all your heartfelt input. xoxo
ReplyDeleteBlog keeps some special atmosphere, but it's just your choice. I'm sure, most of people will support you anywhere.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maya. I haven't closed the door on blogging yet. Just mulling it over.
ReplyDeleteRobyn, I just got an announcement from the Hamill Gallery, and that reminded me that I had not visited your blog in some time; so I hopped over to see what is new. Just wanted to say that "change is good!", (dare I say) especially in the Arts. Hats off to you for making a conscious decision about what works best for YOU -- and from the looks of your recent work, all is definitely well in your world. Sending you thanks and support, Lynne P
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lynne! I thought long and hard about a change. So far it is working. You sound as cheerful as ever so I'm presuming you are well.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your facebook posts, the gorgeous art you select, and the quotes you choose to go with them. See you on facebook!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharmon, yes, see you soon! :-)
