Blogging XXX I wanted a place to share ramblings of the mind, maybe a word or two of wisdom and also to see what you are thinking too. I concidered setting a blog of some sort into this page, but when I tried it no one went there, including me! So I took it out! `November 2016 |
What is an Artist? (a purely personal and subjective opinion) An Artist is a person who has the ability to look failure in the eye, over and over, and still continue onward. -September 2007 |
Website??? When the first websites were described in computer magazines, I knew I wanted to have one! Several years later in 1999 I got my first copy of "Front Page", a website designing program, I added a tutorial and a stack of manuals................and they collected dust and fell away to antiquity. I still really, really wanted a website. I bought "Front Page 2003" and a stack of manual and tutorials,...........in 2005. I installed it for the first time in May of 2007, and cram sessions began, almost instantly, to be interrupted by the uncontrollable forces of life. Computers entered into a devious pact of conspiracy. Determination, persistence, and a wallop of stubbornness has begun so reach a degree of fruition, and the first Carol Frye Art website has been launched .- September 2007 |
Awards? Awards are usually the result of many years of effort. They are the result many things....the painting process, the courage required to have work viewed and judged by others and the enormous amounts of energy and perseverance it takes to keep up with the whole thing. Every ribbon covered ‘I Love Me” wall is mirrored by three other walls papered with rejection slips. My studio floor is littered not only with paint covered paper towels, but tear-stained Kleenex. It is my sincere hope that when I die, it will be at the top of my career, and I am not there yet! The adventure continues. -October 2007 |

disapointments, dazzling humbling moments.... and the occasional unexpected vacation. After several months of sabatical..... I'M BACK! .......and the adventure continues.......September 2009 |
I am constantly amazed at how fast and increasingly wonderful my life has become. You can never really imagine how far you can go until you take the first steps. Art is an adventure.... .......and the adventure continues.......2013 |
The business of art seems to take over everything...I love all the wonderful opportunities I have been given and am grateful I have the skills and talents to thrive. But still I just wonder................what happened to time for painting? This site is slowly under-going updates on a lot of areas.......... Patience please! July 2011 |
