NFT - what is it and should I purchase one?

First I do NOT sell any of my artwork for an NFT.

An NFT = is a non fungible token. It is a digital image of something. Most people are investing in NFT‘s in hopes it will increase in value, an investment.

An NFT is not an item you can hold in your hand, hang on your wall, wear, or use. It’s a digital image, period. It’s stored on a blockchain, similar to Bitcoin or crypto currency.

Example- Julian Lennon (with permission of Paul McCartney) created an NFT (image copy) of the handwritten words and creation of one of the Beatles songs. This NFT is now for sale for over 50,000. It’s a copy of the original piece of paper it was created on.

I personally would not purchase an NFT unless I had funds to throw away. I want an item I can hold in my hand, hang on the wall, or use in some way. Personally I think NFTs are a fad and poor investment.

To date- the NFT market is dead!
The NFT market has collapsed along with cryptocurrencies, which are typically used to pay for the assets, at a time when central banks have jacked up rates to combat inflation, and risk appetite has withered.

Watercolor - Life in pink

06/04/2026

The beginning of a new painting is always a daunting experience. First I must find an image I wish to paint, or if lucky, someone requests a painting and supplies this image.

Next I see a blank white page. The desired image must be hand drawn onto the paper. It’s grueling for me to sketch, it’s my least favorite part, because I am my biggest critic when it comes to my drawings. I use a pencil that disappears after I paint over it. Fabulous for me in case I don’t like the lines I can simply paint over them and they disappear for me!

Once the image is sketched into the paper I will spend time examining it. Where to begin? A light wash of color over the entire paper, small bits saved to be white for the light area, what comes next it’s the idea of not making a mistake. After a painstaking pencil drawing lined to perfection, there’s nothing worse than starting in the wrong place, or area, or neglecting to save the white area for that glow I want to show in the painting.

So here we start, at the beginning…….this one is going to be quite a challenge. Lot’s of small images in this one, time will tell if it becomes worthy of a post. Can you imagine what it will be?
