Well, I went and did the unthinkable. I bought an Ipad with the intent of joining the 21st century. I get along great with my simple cell phone and my computer, but doing art work on the Ipad is going to take training wheels and a good deal of time. As an artist, like many artists, especially old ones like me, tech stuff, I find VERY difficult. Part of the problem, the biggest part, is that I'd rather not read instructions. I mean I don't even know how to work the coffee maker, as I usually only have coffee when someone is in town...then they have to make it. The other part of the problem is that nothing is simple anymore. Like the tv. No more easy off and on. No knobs. Yeah, yeah, I know there haven't been knobs since like 1975, but even the remotes were simpler then.
So, I'm learning....but at dowager snail speed. Meantime, I'm working on some good sized paintings that incorporate my mother in law's wall paper. Collage and paint. That I understand.
Peace.

About Me
- Gail Siptak
- I am living and painting in the little town of Houston. A far way from my San Francisco beginnings. I paint what I see of the human condition, be it human, animal or object. The glimmer of humor, pathos, and spirit in so much of what I see is the basis of what I paint.
Good to keep the things we are comfortable with, as we sit comfortably in our chair, and travel. What will you do with your ipad, and how will it change your life?
