  • The Story Behind the Ugly Photograph…

    Going home from work one night, my beloved and I waited at a traffic light.  It went green, as traffic lights do, if they’re in working order.  Not only did that light turn green-all the lights as far as the eye could see did as well.  Smooth sailing home. So, in the ugly photograph, the…

  • Ta Dah! And now for my next trick…

    “King of the Beasts” is completed.  For some reason, it seemed more interesting with parts of it left rough.  I’m not sure what, if anything, this drawing has to do with healing.  It makes people happy…maybe that’s enough. Anyway.    

  • Let’s Put It Aside. (Maybe It’ll Look Better in the Morning)

    Came to a good stopping place on “King of the Beasts”.  It’s being set aside, I’m going to look at it with a fresh eye in the morning.  It it meets approval, by me of course, I will post it.  If not, it’s back to the drawing board…literally. So…for now, I’m bringing you… AN UGLY…

  • 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…
