    For Those of You Who Can’t Draw a Straight Line

    Which is about everyone. I haven’t come up with an interesting title for this, but I think you can figure out it’s a carousel. For the great unwashed, like me, it’s a merry-go-round. I have to brag though, I did draw the straight lines without a ruler. These lines are long, so it would have…

  • When in Doubt…..

    When in Doubt…..

    Draw a cat. That’s my go to when I don’t have any other ideas. The cat drawing I tried to do was going nowhere. It was going along well, until I drew the cat’s front leg. It didn’t go so well. It kind of looked like the cat had a thick tail sticking out of…

    The Struggle is Real

    A few months ago, I decided I no longer wanted to work in retail anymore. This is both mentally and physically. I had no skills otherwise. except drawing. I tried many things to make money. Of course, I tried (and still am trying) to sell my big drawings. I’ve made hand drawn note cards, and…

  • Missed the Deadline

    Missed the Deadline

    My idea was to post every Sunday, but I missed the boat this week. I was working on this drawing “Stephanie’s Driveway”. I was held up because I decided to indicate the texture of the asphalt with little dots. So, there I was, going dot, dot, dot It took a long time, more than anticipated.…

    Hello Dolly!

    FINALLY!

    For the first time in months, I’ve created something that i can be proud of. I think I’m going to title it “Tree Trunk In Summer”. For those of you who might what was going through my mind when I drew this, I’ll have to disappoint you. It’s nothing more than I saw this scene,…

  • Happy Autumn!

    Happy Autumn!

    I have to admit, I’m beginning to like autumn. It’s cool weather ends the hot weather of summer. Much as I love summer, I look forward to the end of it. Also, the colors of the leaves are another reason I like fall. Here, I was just stepping out of the car and saw this.…

  • White on….. What?

    White on….. What?

    I’ve always been intrigued by works of art that are compositions of white on white. So, Ive made some attempts doing this. Mind you, with colored pencils, it’s really impossible to do completely. Maybe if I get back to working in acrylics again/ An example of this is “Blizzard: Incidentally, I have a goal to…

  • Darn, Did It Again

    Darn, Did It Again

    Or rather, didn’t do it. My plan has been to post on this blog every Sunday. This week I simply forgot. I had spent the morning at my new day job, and my legs and back really hurt. I was so preoccupied with icing my back, that the idea of posting was way far away.…
