  • An oldie but a goodie

    I’m working on “Winged Foal”, and gradually putting in the background. I learned that, even if it’s a blank space, it makes the image more interesting to put a design in the background. This is an old picture from when I lived in Greenwich, CT. many eons ago. Working on this I taught myself a…

  • New Website

    Well, my old website host has done me in. It was a real bargain, back in 1996, web space for a flat $200. forever. Now, I can’t access it unless I upgrade. The old website is still there, in sorry shape. Also, I wanted a new look. So, my new site is at roxannebaldwin.com Welcome…

  • Taking a Break and Rehoming a Tiger

    I’ve been working pretty steadily on the project for the college students, and frankly, I’m getting really bored with it.  There’s not too long to go with it, so I decided to take a break and work on the winged foal.   Here’s where it stands:   Cheers to Art   As rehoming a  tiger, do…

  • Last August….Redux

    I’m working on the project for the college students.  Right now, the winged foal is on hold.  And the date for the Artisan Market is fast approaching. Not sure if I’m going  to get the date of April 6th off at this point.  The day job, the day job, that damn…..schedule difficulties at this point. …

  • Work in Progress, and Important Things I have learned…..

    Working on the winged horse….here’s where it stands now. Important things I have learned from this project: 1. Horses are fun to draw 2. Butterfly wings are boring to draw. 3. Never work on a drawing when you think you might still have cake on the side of your hand.   Fortunately, the cake is…

  • Butterfly, House Fly, Horse Fly

    Finished the 5×7 colored pencil of the winged foal.  I don’t have a title for it, yet, inspiration has yet to strike.     So, I have a few projects to work on, but I’m going to take a bit of a rest before I get started.  Another way of reading that sentence is: “I…

  • Busy, busy, busy….what’s a woman to do?

    Projects coming out of the woodwork….I’ve agreed to work on illustrations for a couple of college students’ project, with a theme that I find healthy and healing.  More about that later, when I get more details, and know if the young women want this discussed online. In the meantime, as promised, I’m working on a…

  • Better Late……

    Finished the Mardi Gras drawing, and renamed it “We went to the Mardi Gras”.  That’s because, not only is there a not-so-recent drawing of myself in it, I managed to sneak the man in my life, Richard, into it too.   So, what’s next?   I’m planning a drawing for the raffle at “Pony Rides for…

  • A Tribute

    Another person healing, a former boss of mine and an inspiration.  At a late age, she returned to college, got a Masters’ in Current Affairs, and now volunteers in Africa.  This is her blog
