Violated My Own Rule!
Bob Ross always said, there are no mistakes, just happy accidents. In my latest attempt, I was happy accidenting all over the place. My usual rule is: Don’t draw when you’re absorbed with other things. I violated my own rule. I do have an idea of how to salvage it, but not today. I do […]

Love Shack, Baby!
Ok, I’m wrong, my devotion to the B52’s not withstanding. It’s a love nest. My friend looked at it and said ” You must have been a little squirrely when you drew this. “. Another friend chimed in, “No, she was just plain nuts!”. Well, so much for my friends. It is a squirrels’ nest. […]

Blown Away
What do I think of other artists’ work? I love it! I love it better than my own work, if I am honest. Mostly, I prefer representational work, although some abstract blows me away, too. What I really like is work similar to my own, only better. Frustration hits, though, when something in the non-art, […]

Hello Darkness and All the Rest of my Friends
Well the story goes like this. I’ve been having a string of sleepless nights, and then, I realized one night it was dark. I hadn’t been really conscious of it, but with the thinning of the veil, the approach of Halloween, or Samhain as I observe, it really sank in. The darkness. So, this is […]

While I was in the aforementioned quandary, I decided it would be best to do something, anything at wall, even a failure than nothing. So, I decided to do the red on green, entitled, for the time being “First Fall Tree” I did this: I took one more picture et voila! So, Spooky Tree! If […]

Once Again, a Quandry
Still a lot of stuff going on in my non art life, but I did get a chance to do some sketches. They leave me puzzled. Which one should I do as a full size piece? Well, everyone I ask have different opinions. I thought at first the green tree one was more optimistic, but…. […]

Spinning….!
Here’s a thought. I’m getting behind on my artwork, due to other stuff going on. Still, I felt the need to do something. So, I had this great idea! Okay, maybe not a great idea, but at least an idea. Why not post the drawings of mine that I like. I like, but, for some […]

Having a Grand Old Time
Isn’t there a metaphysical lesson about living with uncertainty? I’m pretty sure there is. Or at least, there should be. That’s my personal life right now. One of the certain things, we’re having an especially beautiful fall. And that’s all I’ve got to draw about that

Is it Fall Again Already?
Poor Pumpkin passed away last week. Goodbye, little guy, I miss you already. Here it is October! How did that happen? I think last year I drew this. I’m not sure if I am going to have a chance to do any autumn subject matter this year. Personal stuff has been tying up my time. […]
