Apples and pearls
I did some work on “January”, today. However, it is February, and a sunny day at that. It’s the time of year when I first notice the sun being brighter with the advance of spring. So, instead of working much on “January”, I scanned some of my old work again. This one is entitled “Apples…

January
I’m working on a project entitled “January”. It’s been a very snowy winter here in New York (for that matter, in the country in general), and it reminded me of trudging through difficult times in a person’s life. Here is the thumbnail on an art card

Is it a matter of these being done by young artists, to whom these things still matter? Or am I totally off on what’s the trend today? Here’s an update on the “Companions” sketch. I’ve added…
