There actually seems to be a change in the art world,now. The days when there were investors buying the most cutting edge art, regardless of artistic work, are gone. I see more and more references to “beauty”, in art. Of course, “beauty” is up to interpretation. What I am seeing is more representational subject matter,…

The holidays are over, my time off from the museum is mine, again, and it’s time to get back to work. Here’s the next step in “Companions”, the 5×7 colored pencil sketch. Two pieces of my work can be seen in the show “Janus”, at the CCCP gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Address is 38 Marcy…

Just to let you know, I’ve been busy working the Xmas rush at the Metropolitan Museum of Art gift shop. It’s been very busy, and I haven’t had time to do artwork or post. I’ll be back after New Years. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

More of my work can be seen atRoxyart.

Back to the subject of aceo’s. Here’s another in my series that went absolutely nowhere. I bring you the lake at Central Park. I actually worked from a photo of this, because I rarely go into the park. It’s not that I am afraid of being attacked, but I am really afraid of getting totally…

Looking back on my posts, I realize that I never put up the finished version of Autumn Song. That beautiful part of fall is gone, and we are faced with the winter. It’s dark, but once December comes, we know, if not outwardly seeing, the light is coming back. Just keeping that in mind gives…
