  • Took some time off

      One thing that happens on occasion, is that depression gets the better of me.  I had some stresses that built up.  I’m feeling better to handle all that now. In the meantime, I did another piece in the paradise series. I’m debating to keep making these small, or to try to make one a…

  • 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,…

  • Back to work and healing art

    It’s been a crazy few months since I posted here…holidays, commissions, some personal letdowns and pick-me-ups.  So I’m getting back on target. As I recall, I was working on “Almost Home”. I have completed this and have gone onto other projects.  Here’s the finish on “Almost Home”   I  have thought a lot more about…

  • September 11 Anniversary

    Artist on Ground Zero On this anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, I thought I’d share this video of an artist who painted pictures at Ground Zero.

  • A little self-healing time

    I am, at the moment, clinically depressed.  I know art can’t restore an imbalance in serotonin, so while I wait for my medication to work, I decided to do a little work just for fun. The thought was to just do a picture of a garden, with no particular plan.  I decided to add interest…

  • Collectors’ Art Summit

    I picked up my pictures at “The place where we live”, and delivered a couple to another show.  This one is the “Harlem Art Gala”, and it takes place Saturday September 3, 2011 between 2 and 6 pm.  It’s at Our Children’s Foundation at 527 West 125th Street, here in New York City. It’s an…

  • At long last

    At long last, I’m back. The economic realities of life called for me to spend much of the last two weeks cat-sitting. It’s a pleasant enough calling, but it does upset the apple cart when it comes to being in the swing with artwork. I worked some more on “Almost Home”, today, and here is…
