  • Leaving On a Jet Plane

    Leaving On a Jet Plane

    As I was drawing this, the song “Leaving on a Jet Plane”, kept going through my mind. For those to young to know it, it was written by John Denver, although many other musical artists covered it. Sadly, John Denver died in a small plane crash, in 1997. Maybe not a jet plane, but it…

  • What do I do, Now?

    What do I do, Now?

    As I was saying, there’s something in this drawing that catches my imagination. But, now what? I had no idea where to take it. All I knew, is that I didn’t want to set it in New York city. So where then? Rural? Another city? Suburban? All I could come up with were either boring…

  • I Can’t Get Over A Guy Like You

    I Can’t Get Over A Guy Like You

    Well, my “Crow in Summer ” bombed. Sometimes that happens. No, actually that often happens. Sometimes, I can fix it. Sometimes, I can redo it. Sometimes, though, I don’t care of enough to do either. Like now. So, that left me with the task of finding a new idea. Nothing came at me in a…

  • Something To Crow About

    Something To Crow About

    Although, I’m most fond of cats, as everyone knows, I also love crows. Oops, sorry, my mistake, that’s not a crow. Anyway, while I was browsing through Facebook, a suggestion for a group came up. It was about loving crows and their ilk. Oh, no, that’s not a crow, either. I could redo it as…

  • Here We Go Again

    Here We Go Again

    I’m at the Pop-up and Party again. This is the one at which I was going to do the redo of Tarywile for. So, I got it finished in time. It’s quiet here. On one side of me is a henna artist. On the other, is herb soap. I think the others thought they’d make…

  • FAIR DANBURY FAIR

    FAIR DANBURY FAIR

    One of the more fond memories of Danbury, is the state fair that came around every fall. That is, until 1981. Now the fairgrounds is a shopping mall. Still, there is still, a lot of good subject matter here. Why this fuss about Danbury? I’m part of a pop-up that just popped up on Friday…

  • MORE GREEN, PLEASe

    MORE GREEN, PLEASe

    What, might you ask, has the above man strolling down an urban street, have to do with green? Nothing, except, while I was drawing him, my day’s priorities took the sudden turn around. Sometimes, when that happens, that’s a bad sign. This time it is good. How about this? So, why, may you ask, and…

  • Well, It !!!WAS!!! SUnny earlier

    Well, It !!!WAS!!! SUnny earlier

    Right now, this is the view from my living room window. As the title says “It WAS Sunny Earlier. And earlier, I decided to do a drawing of a rhododendron. No, not precisely. I signed up to do a pop-up show in downtown Danbury, and doing a mad dash to make as many notecards for…

  • Up in the Air.

    Up in the Air.

    Maybe one of you can help me with this. I’m totally confused, and maybe seriously, ….er, messed up. The good news is, I got a new desktop. The bad news is, I tried to transfer the photos on my phone to the new desktop. I may have made a big mistake. I think I should…
