  • All the best intentions….

    Evidently, the charity that I send my drawings to had a problem with its venue…so my work will be sent back. Maybe they’ll find someplace else in the future.

  • So, we meet again…..

    I know it’s been a while. Life, no actually Facebook, got in the way.  You know, you can neglect a lot of important things getting caught up in the drama of your friends.  I went cold turkey for a couple of days, and now I visit infrequently.  So, as a result, I finished the full-size …

    Just to let  you know, despite my silence, I have been working on the large version of “Pocket Paradise”.   I’m taking it slow, more like a mediation than hurrying through it.  Also, like I felt with “Freedom Tower in Spring”, I don’t want to give away the ending before it’s finished.

  • Another interest in healing

    I’m starting on a new healing project. A friend and her daughter are starting a new project. The story goes like this: My friend’s daughter was giving riding lessons to a young girl named Jessica. Unfortunately, she was killed in the Newtown, CT massacre. So, in her memory, we are raising funds to give riding…
