  • Here I Am, As Promised

    Here I Am, As Promised

    I’m finally, finally am at the show. There are some good artists, some schlocky and a number of craftspeople. I am sitting near a game gallery. I’m sitting across from a teenager who is disappointed she hasn’t had much attention. My heart goes out to her. It takes time, and a lot of heartbreak. The…

  • Horsing Around

    Horsing Around

    Well, the dog didn’t make the cut. Instead, I decided to go with a horse. Here’s the first sketch: It suddenly dawned on me, that combining an interesting animal with a peaceful landscape not impossible. It’s closer to my sample than a dog in an interior.. I’ll probably put the good old German Shepherd in…

  • Work It!

    Work It!

    Still working out this art show thing. I’m playing around with different ideas, and one of the ideas is, yes……a dog. German Shepherd to be exact. Forgive the sketchiness, but after all , it is a sketch. My sketches never seem to look as good online as they do in person. But a dog is…

  • Flying By…

    Flying By…

    I’m not doing any artwork right now, except getting ready for the show. I’ve decided to do a different pose of this dog: In the meantime, here’s a true to life story from my true to life life. My brother and his wife had a bit of an emergency, so I had to feed their…

  • Here We Go Again

    This is turning into something more like a work in progress. So be it. Guess, I have a lot more on my mind than art. As my former landlord used to say “My time in the trenches “.

  • Calm Down, Calm Down

    Calm Down, Calm Down

    We have a very sweet cat, named Pumpkin. He’s calm most of the time, except when we’re late giving him his breakfast, or pet him to the point of annoyance. In those cases, he either gives you a nibble with his teeth, or a swat with his claws. My boyfriend has some kind of magic,…

  • I’m Being Haunted

    I’m Being Haunted

    I’m out again, looking for shows to enter and galleries to represent me. I’m wiser this time, and I have lost my fear of rejection, but still, it’s tiring. One gallery director keeps wanting me to do something different than what I do. Maybe should just tell me she doesn’t like my style? I’ve given…

  • In the Year of the Tiger

    In the Year of the Tiger

    Once again, we’ve come to my birthday. Everybody always say “You’re a St. Patrick’s Day baby”. Recently, though, I’ve been telling people that I’m a St. Gertrude’s Day baby. It’s especially relevant in the Year of the Tiger. Cats. And people. https://www.facebook.com/events/541677760467486/ And a horse. I’m working on a lot of small pictures right now,…

  • The Sky’s the Limit

    The Sky’s the Limit

    I think I came to the idea that I’m much more interested in abstract with a few representational aspects. I also think I’ve come to the idea for the drawing for “Art in Action”. As promised, it has a cat. And, it’s my plan to fill in the sky. Skies are great for abstraction. As…
