Stuck in a Winter Wonderland
I’ve been working so hard on holiday cards, it’s hard to believe it’s not winter. I look outside, and I expect to see snow. It’s been gray and rainy here for a week, it’s hard to believe that, at least for a few days, it’s still summer. The only drawing I can think of from…

Well, That Isn’t Working
I was trying to post a flyer that tells about the festival I’m doing on November 12. It’s in Newtown, CT from 10-4. I will be selling hand drawn holiday cards. The show supports the American Cancer Society. It’s in the NYA Sports and Fitness Center on the Fairfield Hills Campus at 4 Primrose Drive,…

Getting Closer
As you may have guessed from the title, it’s soon going to be the holidays. Fortunately for me, I will not be in retail. Nor will I be doing a lot of shopping. I know it’s only August, coming into September, but in the back rooms of stores, the discussion is already about Black Friday.…

Good Morning!
I don’t know what that Remaster is, but I can’t seem to delete it unless I delete the picture with it. At long last, a complete drawing! I finally got a supply of paper in, and this is the result. So, what to say about it. I have a friend who insists that everyone is…

Sunrise, Sunset
I’ve got a question….why do most artists paint or draw sunsets? I guess it’s the bright colors, especially if over water. I don’t understand this. A sunrise it as beautiful as a sunset, only in a different way. The colors are subtle and muted. Also, it’s a sign of promise. The dark night is gone,…

Sometimes, Roses Are Pink
I wasn’t sure what to title this piece, I was thinking about “Roses, Curves and Lines”. It would give the viewer an idea of the abstract qualities of this drawing. I see that I cropped this picture wrong. What a load of crop! Sorry, bad pun. I’ll be photographing all my work again, in a…

Beep-a-beep-beep, Yeah!!!!
More Beetlemania. I was trying to come up with a title for this, and all l could think of was: beep-a-beep-beep, yeah! I just couldn’t remember where I had heard that. Of course, that’s a line from the Beatle’s “Baby, You Can Drive My Car”. I was going to title this “Relic in the Driveway”,…

Beetlemania!
This is a drawing about a beetle. No, not a Beatle, and I can guess your age if you thought that. Specifically, a Volkswagen Beetle. I’d been thinking about drawing a car, right? Cars aren’t as easy to draw as I thought they’d be. Here’s the first sketch. I wanted it to be white, so…

Rain, Rain, Go Away
I finished the drawing, “April Raincloud”. I’m disappointed in it, not the trees, but the rain itself. It came out muddy. Of course rain is muddy and messy, but this didn’t quite reach the balance of beauty/ugliness that I intended. So, onward. Frankly, I’m getting tired of trees and landscapes. I feel like doing something…
