    Experiment #1

    Okay, when the going gets rough, I do do cute. This is a representational subject with abstract elements. And it’s cute. So, I’d say as a drawing , it’s moderately successful. What got me, is finding a title. By The Lake? I decided on simply “Gaggle”. It’s short, elegant, and to the point. So, as…

  • IT COMES DOWN TO THIS……

    IT COMES DOWN TO THIS……

    One day,, two little abstracts later, and I’m already bored. I remember an art class in 5th grade. We were given a lot of sticks, told to drop the sticks anywhere the cardboard we were given, have fun don’t make anything. While the other students were making abstracts worthy of Jackson Pollack, I decided to…

  • ROADBLOCK!

    ROADBLOCK!

    Okay, you’ve seen this before. And, here it is, again! You might be wondering why I’m posting old artwork. There’s a reason. Here it is: I’m stuck. I’m in an artistic traffic jam, when there is a stalled car up ahead, and you’re hours behind it in a stopped highway. And then, the police try…

  • Difficulties

    Trying to edit this so I can put video slide shows in my footer, without doing damage to the rest of the blog! As They used to say on old TV shows: We are experiencing technical difficulties, Please stay tuned. In other words HELP!

  • What to do if You’re Stranded in Space

    What to do if You’re Stranded in Space

    Near the Creative Black Hole, naturally. I’ve got a couple of strategies for getting through inspiration less time. One is, don’t forget your sense of humor…do something crazy and fun that you wouldn’t otherwise. And/or……go back to an old idea that you haven’t been able to quite get right. When I used to visit New…

  • The Creative Black Hole

    The Creative Black Hole

    I’m having trouble creating. I have nada ideas, right now. Not serious, at this point I know. Maybe I haven’t been getting enough sleep, maybe I’m a little stressed about getting together an interior design presentation, or maybe I’m trying to hard to lose weight and I’m depriving myself of necessary nutrition. Could be any…

  • Changing Direction….What, Again?

    Changing Direction….What, Again?

    Well, it’s 9:30 EST on Sunday night, I’m tired, so it’s the perfect time to write a blog post. It seems my most jumbled thoughts come pouring out of my brain…I can never know what…and that’s what’s entertaining. However, the title of this takes a bit of explanation. I was taking a course on goal…

    There’s Something Strange Going On Around Here

    Ok, as is not unusual for me, I’m dealing with an on and off depression. Definitely prefer the times when the depression is off, but that doesn’t prevent me from doing things when the depression is on. As in artwork. I used to swear not too do it, but this time, I was halfway through…

  • January 9, Midmorning

    January 9, Midmorning

    Finally the holiday decorations are disappearing. They’re gone from the mall, they’re gone from Main Street. In fact, the only place that still has Christmas lights left, is the house of our neighbor across the street. He’ll take then down around Valentines day. I suppose that’s not a really big thing to complain about, but…
