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…

No Idea
Here’s the finish, of, well, some drawing or other. I don’t have a title for it. Ever since that curator said my titles weren’t interesting, I’ve gotten a complex. I thought my titles were interesting! So, what should I call this, that’s interesting? “Dandelion Field with Tree” “Tree with Dandelion Field” “Maple in Bloom with…

Rememember When?
Okay, here’s another work-in-progress, but only a tiny corner that I found interesting. Then when I looked closer, I saw something that looked familiar to me. For those of us who took standardized tests in elementary school, and the SATs too, the little ovals made me think of the ovals we filled in on those…

This Is Going to Be a Doozy
Does Nature ever give you a gift? One special moment, one glimpse of sublime beauty that will last forever? Or God, or Universe, or Krishna etc.? I had one such moment as I was getting ready to do this particular drawing, of this particular tree: It was a honeybee, gathering nectar from a maple tree…

One Step at a Time
I’ve always been able to find inspiration for artwork within a couple of blocks of where I live. That was true in NYC, too. For instance: A couple of doors down from me. Finding so much inspiration is something I’m pretty proud of. Perhaps it’s silly, but there it is. Same with the tree I…

Springtime Sonata, or Something Like That
I’m a little groggy this morning, the rain and gray weather is affecting me. At 5 foot nothing, a lot of people would say I’m a little anything. I proudly announce my diminutive stature, because I realize at this point, there’s no reason to do anything else. Anyway, I digress. This is a blog about…

Boomer, Retire!
Well, why don’t I? Surely I’m at the age where I should be sipping white wine on a European beach somewhere. So, why don’t I? Well, stayed tuned, here’s the answer. You read so many accounts about people’s regrets when they are on their deathbeds…….mostly they say they wish they had spent more time with…
