  • In the not too-distant future, yes, it will…..

    January 2 is turned over, waiting for my fresh eye to critique it.   Another trick I’ve learned is to put a mat around the drawing, gives you a better idea of what it will look like framed.  So, in the meantime, I’ve got a string of ideas of what to do next. It’s February now,…

  • Plenty of Inspiration

    For the drawing I’m working on.

  • Good God, I’m seeing spots before my eyes……..

    I’ve been working on January 2, but progress is slow.  I haven’t  had much to show in the way of a wip. That’s because I’m doing the snow in the  background.  It consists of dots.  Tiny dots.  Lots and lots of tiny dots. I can only do so much at a time, because it’s mind…

  • A little diversion

    January is coming along fine, despite the fact that it is now, February. What is taking me a lot of time is that for snow, I’m having to do little dots, dots and more dots. Not the big overwhelming kind I did in the original. It is time consuming. While I’m doing this, I’m trying…

However, the theme of a person walking a dog in…

  • Back to normal…..whatever the Hell that is.

    Been a busy holiday in retail, and the whole idea of art and healing got kicked to the wayside.  Now, finally,  if the neighbors would finally take down their Christmas lights, it would be over.  Between my readings on Buddhism, and recent events in my life, the topic of change became an overwhelming force in…

  • Hold Everything!

    The Christmas rush at work is over, except for returns and after Christmas sales. So, more time to do artwork….however…. My start on the skyline didn’t interest me much once I got going. I also remembered that I told a friend that I would do a drawing of this door, next. This is a radio…
