  • I Have Returned..

    Frankly this, I’ve been away with bipolar depression.  It’s part of my life occasionally, but as I say, everyone has some aspect of his/her life that is a problem. So, I did this remake of “Clearing”, which I like better, but still can’t be objective about.  

  • It’s a Book

    Just to let you know, my work is available in an old technology format….a book!  For your information, you can view or order here: Roxanne Baldwin’s Artsy Book Thanks for looking.  As you were.

  • What is Paradise?

    Darned if I know…. It’s just in this environment, wondering what I can draw that is upbeat and inspiring to people, I come back to my old idea of Paradise. It’s just that I don’t work well from imagination alone.  I need some hard copy to ground me, to elaborate on, and interpret.  Sometimes, I…

  • Come on in, the Water’s Fine!

    Sometimes, without a real plan, you just have to jump into a drawing.  I took a photo, since I’ve been lost for an idea, and planned to draw it.  I made a pretty sketchy sketch, giving little insight to me on how to %(@@#ing handle the large drawing. So after much deliberation, I decided not…

  • An Enforced Rest

    My paper didn’t get here yesterday, as scheduled.  It’s still in Pennsylvania, somewhere.  Delayed, by weather, I’m assuming, although Fed Ex isn’t really clear about that. It’s serendipitous.  If I had my paper, I’d probably feel I had to do a big project.  As it is, I’m getting informal drawing practice in. I’m drawing trees,…

  • “Inspiration Exists….

    But it has to find you working”…Pablo Picasso. Who am I to argue with Picasso?  He had a prolific output, he knew what he was talking about. However, I have to admit it now, I’m more stuck than I realized. I have had a tumultuous year, I’ve been about as stable as a wind sock…

  • The Worst of 2016

    Yes, you read that right.  I already have a candidate for my worst art of the year.  I guess I’m still not feeling the greatest, and my judgment is off, but I really bombed hard on this one:   I meant to exaggerate the colors in this slightly, but went clearly overboard.  It came out…

  • “It’s Been a Long, Cold, Lonely Winter….”

    Everyone is familiar with “Here Comes the Sun” by George Harrison.  I was, however, introduced to the song through this cover: Peter Tosch….Here Comes the Sun It was an anthem of a very beautiful spring. Anyway, back to the present.  It feels as if it’s been a long winter, but it hasn’t.  In fact, the…

  • Giving Me a Break!

    I would have done the worst of 2015 today, but I am feeling less than in good spirits.  It will pass, but in the meantime, I’m going to be good to myself, and pass on posting the bad stuff.  What is meant to be a light hearted, not taking myself to seriously post, is turning…
