Do-Overs


I'm a firm believer in do-overs; be it mistakes at my job, mistakes in my relationships, and even mistakes with my Heaven Father.  
Well, this blog is a case in point. This is my 3rd or 4th attempt to put something together that's short, simple, focused, and fun, and not too preachy or teachy. Just thoughts, images and comments about the art I make! I hope you enjoy it. Blessings...

Website Changes & New Focus Part 2

Beach Romance, 16x20 Pointillist Painting This is the second part of a short 2 part post. As noted in my last post, I explained what Romantic Realism was and why I was moving forward as a Romantic Realist painter.

Website Changes & New Focus Part 1

Bahamian Twilight This is the first part of a short 2 part post. I thought I should explain a few things about my recent websites updates. My Website ( www.EdwardMcCarthy.com ) has taken on a new look and focus as an artist. The direction I'm focusing on as an artist is all about my Romantic Realism work. This is not something I just happened to come up with. It's actually something I been struggling with for a long time. I've been painting in the pointillist style since before 1980 (over 35 years). I've been painting using the romantic style since 1997 (nearly 20 years). The problem is that painting in two distinct styles is actually difficult and confusing, for my self, for galleries and for collectors. I felt that with the recent move and other changes, this was an appropriate time to make a break and focus on just one style. If you're an artist reading this, and you're working in 2 or more styles, my sug...
