  • Farewell, the first of Namaste

    I found a good home for “Vision of the Divine”, from the Namaste series. Given to a lovely spirit, who is a yoga teacher, and works with special needs children. In the meantime, still working on Connecticut Fantasy, but not enough progress to warrant a WIP picture. As for the MS picture, it finally was…

  • Too many cooks in the stew

    As I mentioned before, I’m going to be working on a piece for a silent auction for the cure of MS.  However, I was lost for an idea (how do you make an appealing, saleable picture out of a dread disease?).  I consulted with the man I proposed the idea to, with some ideas.  His…

  • Notes from a Broad

    Back at work again…nearly trashed the beginning of Connecticut Fantasy, but glancing at it again, I decided it was worth the try. So, saved from the garbage. And for colored pencil artists out there….Beware Prismacolor Orange. It’s very fugitive. Unfortunately, I used it on one of my favorites “Cloud Over Greenwich/Jessica’s Home”. Now the original…

  • Starting Small

    One thing or another…just not feeling my best. Oh, I suppose I could complain about everything that’s happened to make me feel that way, but truth is, it’s not all that interesting. Not even to me. So, I’ll spare you. I did start a little on Connecticut Fantasy, but given my decrepit condition, I’m taking…

  • 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. But in the meantime, more about “Connecticut Landscape Fantasy”. Sometimes, I like to do a composition based on real places, but in a free-flowing mode, using…

  • 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 …

  • Looking for a venue

    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. I’m also posting because…

  • The show

    The Portrait Show, 2013 was on Friday night.  Not a big turnout….very cold nasty rain.   I wasn’t really happy with where my pictures were hung, I don’t think many people saw them.  Therefore, I gave up any hope of the People’s Choice Award.  But at any rate, here’s some photos:
