  • My Little Chickadee…dee,dee,dee….

    I’m working on the drawing that I sketched earlier in the week. Since wintertime is such a hard time for me, and many others, I’ve decided to make my work this season devoted to making peace and healing with this cold, dark time of year. Another theme I’m working on, as a healing subject, is…

  • It’s about the process, not the product…….or something like that

    So, here’s the sketch…another with the theme of making peace with winter.  I finally did the skeleton of the sycamore’s pale branches against an bright blue sky.  Voila (sorry, I’m working for a French company, it sneaks into my vocabulary now and then). So, now the promised topic……… Every so often, art work is done…

  • A decisive victory!

    When last you saw me, I was babbling on about a decision of what to do next with my artwork. So, I’ve made a decision, and I’ll start babbling about that now. Like the New York City evening skyline, there’s another subject that’s been haunting me.  Again, it’s right outside my window. (Maybe I should…

  • Indecision is my vocation…

    So, the holiday fair is long since over.  Considering the weather, it was okay (in that I didn’t lose too much money).  I did, however, learn a lot from a fellow vendor. Plus a chance to visit with my long time friends…so, it was worth it. But what has that to do with indecision? Absolutely nothing….as…

  • The Time Has Come…..

    Let’s just say, I’m feeling the love.  Have been doing an affirmation every morning, and I just feel as if everything is flowing, and I’m going with the flow.  Even the parts I don’t like, well,I accept it as part of the flow and everything will work out in the end…….. So, back to art….and…

  • Down and Dirty

    Time to get down and dirty, back to the nitty-gritty, and other last generation cliches…. Wasn’t my art supposed to be about healing? As I rush around producing merchandise for shows, and feel the angst of the approach of another Christmas Rush in retail…. Something stopped me, and told me to get back to my…

  • Happy Freaking Holidays!

    As I promised, as last year, I will not post any holiday images until after December 1st. However, my life is about the holidays already.  I’m going to be doing an art and craft fair in Danbury, Connecticut on December 6.  Among other things, I plan to be selling some handmade Christmas cards….and making some…

  • It was a dark and stormy day…

    Typical November day here…gray, rainy, brown leaves….a totally depressing mess.  Around the corner lurks the (gasp) winter holidays…which some love, some hate,  depending on your life and/or disposition.  Or your job….hello to my fellow retail workers! So, no wonder I had to make peace with November. Having left my day job in an ambulance, no…

  • Life is a badly written soap opera

    Did I use that title before?  I think I either used it, or something similar.  Anyway, I guess repeating yourself comes with age.  So, if I did, my apologies. The soap opera has been at my day job….yes, I’m still there, filling in while the manager takes vacation time.  Intrigues and plot twists galore….only not…
