  • As a Crow Flies, Revised

    You know, the latest “As the Crow Flies”, in person, has a nice stark minimalist air to it,much like a white-out snowstorm.  Online, that gets lost.  Since most of my work is seen online, I decided to change it and make it more finished looking.  So, once again, “As the Crow Flies”

  • Just a quick note

    Thanks to all you readers who have been so supportive on my gallery submission and rejection. It really encouraged me, and I plan to continue the search for a gallery. Thanks, again.

  • Once in a Blue Moon…

    Is it the blue moon,yet?  We’re supposed to have a blue moon this month. I have to go along with a good friend, who is disappointed that blue moons aren’t really blue. However, once in a blue moon, I draw something so different than what I usually do, that I have a hard time judging…

  • Hurray! I Got Rejected!

    I finally bit the bullet, and sent out an application to a gallery.  I got a polite note back, saying my work was not a fit for the gallery.  Also, the note said, that my information would be kept on file, in case there was a change. (Yeah, right?) So, why “Hurray!”?  I’m celebrating that…

  • Finally

    In case you’d like to see my work in one place, without scrolling through this long blog…I’ve done it!  I’ve put a gallery in this blog, with links along the top, arranged in the time periods I did the works.  This replaces my website, which didn’t support all browsers for the slideshow. So, that gives…

  • Good Morning!

    Okay, it’s actually 2:15 EST.  It’s snowy out, and I’m having a hard time getting going on a day like today.  However, I was talking about morning, and so I continue. Another ditty…it’s always darkest just before the dawn.  Literally, when I’m awake all night, I can see a grayness in the sky before dawn. …

  • And Then It Dawned On Me

    On nights when I’ve had trouble sleeping, I’ve stared out the window as morning approaches.  The sky looks peaceful and promising, not vibrant and bright as it does at sunset.  So, what makes a sunrise picture look different than a blazing sunset? “Red sky at night,  sailors’ delight” Red sky at morning, sailors take warning”…

  • Good News…For Me at Least

    I’ve been accepted into the art show of winter themed art, “Winter Wonderland”.  It’s going to be at the Botte Shop in Mamaroneck, NY on January 20th 2018 from 1:00 pm to 4:00.  I wish I could be there, but I have to be elsewhere. The elsewhere I have to be, is the Michael’s Store…

  • In Case You Were Wondering…

    Why the heck did I post all my winter drawing?  Actually, I missed one: The reason? I applied to an art show, and they requested your art samples on a link, instead of files.  I’m okay with that, opening files from unknown sources can be hazardous.  So, I linked to this blog. In the meantime,…
