Amazing post. I did not watch the video because the paintings were so intense. I liked the balance of painting/s relative to peace also...There is potentially more exposure for your book if the newsletter shares the book title. : )
Thank you so much Margot! His paintings are so intense and so beautiful -- the video has some of the same paintings and the music is haunting and interesting. Yes, I was thinking of linking the newsletter title to the book, also "Art Blotter Plus" was sounding king of weird and awkward to me. But two people who commented in private emails said they thought I should keep Art Blotter Plus. And I like Lisa's idea of shortening it to "Art Blotter." Thanks so much for your feedback!
Thanks so much Susan! Thanks for reading and commenting. I never know how or if people are responding so it's great to get feedback! Actually a few people wrote to me in emails saying I should keep the title, and I'm going towards that decision. My only question now is whether to shorten it from "Art Blotter Plus" to just "the Art Blotter" (as suggested by another commenter) or "Lora's Art Blotter"? I don't know if it's clear that the "Plus" in Art Blotter Plus indicates that there is some non-art content. Anyway with the terrors going on in the world this is an insignificant decision!
Lisa! you are always so so good with titles!! YOU came up with main part of title for the book. I think you are really on to something here. I'll see what others say. Already two other people said to keep Art Blotter Plus- they couldn't figure out how to vote on substack. But nobody except you came up with the brilliant idea to shorten it. Thanks so much!
Lora - I'm always reminded of something Coco Chanel said, and I paraphrase, "Before you go out, take off the last accessory you put on." Less is more!
I've never heard this before, hilarious and wise. Thanks Lisa!

Great newsletter! Title is fine! This month's paintings and commentaries were really moving.

How about just Art Blotter.
