  • Now How the Heck Am I Going to Handle This?

    Finally got some work done on, what I shall title, “King of the Beasts”.  Here’s a work-in-progress shot.   What is it that I need to handle?  I’m working from a photograph, with the stuffed animals stopping in the image before I stop my drawing.  In other words, I have a lot of empty space…

  • No apologies…this is cute as #&@@#

    While I was visiting my brother and his wife, I was shown some of their photos.  Among them, was their kitten, Max, hidden among stuffed animals.  The colorful animals made a lively color scheme.  And of course, it had a cat.  I just had to draw it. Okay, I try to stay away from things…

  • Pfffftttttt…so much for that….

    Jobs come and go.  Money comes and goes.   In other words, fed up with the new job. But I finally got a enough spare minutes put together to do some artwork. So, finally finished “The Dance”.

  • When life throws you a curve ball, make lemonaide

    Hello Folks, WordPress is not as insistent as Facebook at least, which reminds me EVERY DAY, how long it is since I’ve posted.  So, thanks for being patient, WordPress, and thanks to my followers, too. There’s a good reason why I haven’t posted.  I haven’t done any artwork, except a version of the couple dancing,…

  • Tis Spring

    And love is in the air.  Frankly, I can think of nothing more healing than a partner in your life to support you, have fun with, grow old with. Or even a good cry at a romantic movie. So, here’s the sketch…no name yet. If this looks a little familiar, it should.  I took my…

  • I’m being followed by a Moonshadow

    My friend finally got her belated birthday gift.  In case you didn’t see this in the comments, this is what she said about the portrait I did of her dog, Moonshadow.   I don’t know if my other post made it over here, so. A man in a brown truck just left a large flat…

  • Trucking…like the Do Da man…………

    Somewhere, deep in the Midwest, a man (or a woman) is driving a brown truck to a small town destination in Iowa.  When the package he or she delivers, finally gets to this house in this is isolated area, presumably Friday, I will unveil my last drawing.  In the meantime, I’m just trucking along. Some…

  • It’s a Secret

    I bet you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been posting.  Well, no, not really, I expect you all have lives other than reading my blog.  But the truth is I haven’t posted for a while…and there’s a good reason.  I’m working on a drawing, but it’s a secret. Why keep it a secret?  In some…

  • Finally Made Peace with February…

    Around  the middle of March. So, it was one of those deals where the idea for the drawing kept nagging me, and I couldn’t ignore it.  I had realized what I had screwed up, so of course…..I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t give it another go.  So. Of course, I had a few rough…
