  • Who Let the Dogs Out?

      I’m going to have to put the dog project on the back burner.  The opportunity at the veterinarian hospital seems to be dead in the water.  I may yet be called back, but I’m tired of the run around I seem to be getting.  Pffft. What season is this?  It was 82 degrees Friday,…

  • Give My Regards to Broadway

    Yesterday was the opening of the Pet Art Show, at the Bott Shoppe in Mamaroneck, NY.  If you’re interested in seeing the show, the address is 172 East Boston Post Road.  Besides the show, the Bott Shoppe, has an art studio, classes and art related items in its store.  If you are in the area,…

  • Not to be Trusted

    “I’m suspicious of people who don’t like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn’t like a person.” Thanks Bill Murray.  Or Mark Twain.  Or whoever said this originally.  It doesn’t say much for my character. Dogs have a funny reaction to me.  Some absolutely love me, some whimper and cry as if I’m…

  • A Remarkably Non-existent Snowstorm

    I thought I’d be snowed in yesterday.  The weather forecast predicted a possible eighteen inches.  We’re not supposed to get more than four, now. So, I didn’t get much artwork done.  I’m working more slowly, too.  I’m working on a portrait of my friend’s German Shepherd, and I’m realizing I have a lot to learn…

  • Coming Soon! Dogs!

    I have a veterinarian hospital interested in my work, in a town that’s right over the state border.  That’s Brewster, NY.  If anyone of my readers is old enough to remember the TV show, “That Girl’, the Marlo Thomas character lived in Brewster before she moved to NYC.  It’s a very pleasant little town. Anyway,…

  • Happy St. Gertrude’s Day!

    St. Gertrude of Nevilles to be precise.  Not St. Gertrude the Great, that’s another story. One thing about being born on St. Patrick’s Day…everyone asks if you’re Irish.  I’m not.  However, being born on the Patron Saint of Cat’s Day makes sense.  Anyone who has known me even a little while, knows I love cats.…

  • Snow way!!!

    It’s the start of another late winter snowstorm. I’m also running out of ideas for winter themed drawings, for this season, at least. So,I am taking another hiatus from artwork. As spring appears to finally last more than a day or two, then I ‘m sure I’ll be back. In the meantime, here’s a winter…

  • Second time better

    Here’s “Cloudy Day in the Park” again. Not only did I touch it up, I took a better photo! Another nor’easter coming our way. Grrrrr
