    Living the Life

    Here I am, drawing what I want, get lots of praise, I even sell something once in a while. I helps to have a day job. So, at my tender age, I’ve gone out looking for a job. Retiring without enough money is dismal. An experiment here, I ran through the various motifs, put them…

    Feelings, wowo wo

    It seems as if I’m feeling around with new ideas as to where my art should go. Honestly, I’m pretty lost here. Instead of doing artwork, I’ve been binging on Youtube. Ever hear of “Ask a Mortician”? Mostly there. Procrastination, is making me wait. I did do a drawing of a cat looking out a…

    Beauty in Ugliness

    Back away, in a time when I was a young woman, I was hospitalized for depression. The ward was grimy and dull.

  • Hey There

    Hey There

    I bet you thought I’d gone into the Cloud, got lost, and never came back. Actually, although I’ve been here, thinking. Not doing art, but thinking about doing art. Well, I did do this: Truth is, I’ve become just very bored with the work I had been doing. The interpretive landscapes are what I mean…

  • Finally!!

    Finally!!

    I know I havent been around here in what seems forever. Truth is, I’ve been doing artwork, but nothing I’m proud of enough to post here. I’ve finally come back with “Iris Garden”. Most of what I’ve done has been put to rest in the deep reaches of my flat file. I know this is…
