  • Another Artist and Illustrator

      For those of you who wonder about my influences, I’d like to show you one.  This is Eyvind Earle, who did work for Disney. (When I was four, I just wanted to see “Sleeping Beauty” over and over again).  He mostly worked as an illustrator, using patterns and flat areas to create images. Eyvind…

  • Such is life

    Material life had gotten in the way of producing artwork.  Right now, my time is going into cleaning this apartment (I’m a horrible housekeeper) in time for my very fussy landlord to come up and supervise the installation of double-paned windows. Also, sitting in the house with little human contact has gotten my creativity dry…plus…

  • Goodbye skyline

    I’m still working on the newest paradise picture.  I’ve come to a spot where I’m kind of stuck, but it will work out.  I’m not at my brightest…maybe spring fever? At any rate, I’ve lost my view of the skyline.  It happens every year about this time. The beautiful old sycamore out front get its…

  • A Work in Progress

    I thought I’d show a drawing in the process of being done.  Here, I am taking subject matter from a photograph, and interpreting it.  I’m reducing the light and shadow in the photo to an interpretive design.  The action is spontaneous, I don’t plan what I’m going to do.  This keeps me fresher, and more…

  • Took some time off

  • Another drawing

        I imagine it would not be possible to not mention the passing of Thomas Kinkaide.  He was a very skilled artist who marketed his work well.  His work is meaningful to a lot of people, and for all of the talk of his work being saccharin, he certainly contributed to the lives of…

  • What a waste of time!

      Having the website down has been distracting me from getting any art done. It’s frustrating and slow, mainly because I just did it!  I’m waiting for a refund for the software I used before.   It’s been a beautiful spring day.  I should be out collecting material for the Paradise series, but that’s a…

  • About another artist

    I’d like to talk a bit about another artist…not a friend, I promise, I never met the man. I have a habit of browsing the completed auctions on eBay.  It’s partly to see what actually sells, and also, because I just like looking at art. One of the artists I see a lot of there,…
