  • More of Autumn Song

    I’m working out the composition further in this. It’s a 5×7 inch version, on rag. I will be putting this up for sale on my website soon.

  • First Step: Autumn

    I’m working on a new piece,  “Autumn Song”.  I miss the turning of leaves I used to get in Connecticut.  Fall used to be a time of tangy apple cider, pumpkins, and crisp cool weather.  I’m trying to capture some of that here, and also a tribute to long held love and relationships. Here is…

  • Sentinel Finished

    Here’s the finish on Sentinel. It gets me to thinking about how fortunate I am to live in NYC.

  • Lily

    I’m still working on Sentinel, which is near completion. I’m waiting to hear back about a juried show. I’m not sure if I’ve been accepted into it or not, or whether there is more for me to do to be selected. I emailed, no answer. Since I’m so fond of putting flowers in the sky,…

  • 59th Street Bridge

    This is a drawing of the bridge that spans the East River between Manhattan and Queens. It’s commonly called the 59th Street Bridge, but its official name is the Queensboro Bridge. I wanted to add some interest to the background, so it wouldn’t be an ordinary picture of a structure. I did this a couple…

  • Here’s the aceo of my new work “Sentinel”. It’s based on the view out the staff cafeteria at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is where I work.
