  • Yay for me!

    Yay for me!

    Cycles This is so exciting to me. A real vote of confidence, and a real shot in the arm. Of course, since now I am working small, I thought I’d show the small drawing that this is derived from. I’m proud of them both. Just to let you know, I was planning to use this…

    Do it Again, then

    One of the pluses of working small, is that it isn’t an overwhelming task to redo a drawing. The drawing of the yellow basket ball really didn’t turn out the way I’d hoped. I went too far, it became muddy. The leaves were too cartoony. So, I redid it, and I’m much more pleased. A…

    have a Ball!

    Having grown tired of cats, I saw this little scenario, that had possibilities. So, I did a little picture of the little scenario. Yellow Basketball So, my mind got onto the subject of balls. Nothing dirty here, please folks. Then it occurred to me, that I owe a friend a birthday card, which she specifically…

  • That’s that

    That’s that

    Already, can you believe it? I’m tired, for now doing cat drawings. I’m sure I will do more at some point….but for now, that’s that. Here’s the last drawing in the series, for now. Pumpkin, again Meow for now

  • OH NO!

    OH NO!

    I’m at it again. Cat Pictures. I realize, at least for now, drawing small cat pictures is the most soothing thing for me. Sounds odd, I know, but it works, and it’s a lot cheaper than a vacation in Bermuda. I don’t know, can you even go to Bermuda under the current restrictions? I get…

    Long, long time

    Hey folks, I know it’s been awhile since I posted. Truth is, the stress of COVID-19,caused me problems. It caused a lot, if not all, problems for people in general. I also ended up with a huge, but well needed dose of humility. But back to drawing! I started back slowly, by breaking the block…

    the cat came back

    There’s an old jingle “The cat came back, she wouldn’t stay away, She was sitting on the porch on the very next day.” The horrible things they did to that cat, to get rid of her, and she kept coming back. I’m not sure where I heard this old song, maybe during folk music days,…

  • Anticipation

    Anticipation

    When last we saw our heroine, she was happily contemplating a new supply of art paper, and time to do work. But the paper wasn’t arriving. Then it dawned on her. We’re in a pandemic, and art paper is not considered a necessity. So, disappointed, she went back to creating a handmade face mask. That’s…

  • Distraction

    Distraction

    I know many artists are making sad art,reflecting the current times. I’m not good at that, my attempts at sad, thoughtful art have been damn depressing. Who needs that? The best I can do is bittersweet. I want to try to contribute something during this sad time, but I don’t have much in way of…
