  • 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…

  • Art Show in Long Island City, Queens. Sorry for such short notice, friends, but if you are in the New York Area….I’m going to be having an art show.  The info is in the link!

  • Just what you’ve been waiting to see!

      Oooops, wrong picture…that’s my messy easel.  Let’s try it again:         Okay, not t he best photo in the world, it has a hot spot, but at least I try.  Anyway, this is the drawing that’s going into the silent auction.  If you’re in the Connecticut area May 3, stop in….lots…

  • Well, I never did make peace with February……

    The finished work I did after the sketch, (the sketch I liked), I felt Eh about.  So, the large work has been put aside for a long, long time.  I may go back to it, but right now, it’s time for other projects. I mean, after all, February’s over…..which means it’s March…..which means it will…

  • Easy Peasy…except Richard doesn’t like peas.

    Okay, remember how I was struggling over the first “Making Peace with January”?  I went back to the idea…after first taking a more observant look at the subject matter I was planning to draw, a seagull in front of a mackerel sky.  I did the sketch in just a few minutes….easiest thing I’ve done in…

  • OMG….February Already!

    A day or two late, I guess, I finally finished “Making Peace with January”.  So I’m late. Big deal.  At least it’s still winter. The reason why I’m late is there has been a lot going on in my non-virtual life…mostly good.  Mostly.  The rest well…I can deal.  But I’m back to my art, and…

  • Oh, What a Tangled We Weave!

    I put away the version that I had of “Making Peace with January 2015”.  I have a new vision for the same subject matter, so I’m expecting to do it as “Making Peace with February 2015”.  I took a moment to really study a seagull against a mackerel sky, and OMG…was it ever different from…
