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.

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 the aceo, the basic block in.

Here’s the finish on Sentinel.

It gets me to thinking about how fortunate I am to live in NYC.

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, I did this, just for fun.

I’ve been taking sick time from work, and not getting much done in artwork either.

From my apartment in Queens, I can see Manhattan in the distance during the winter. In the warmer weather, the old sycamore blocks the view. I believe I have posted one summer picture of the sycamore, here’s one of the winter ones, where I try to capture the mood of a gray winter’s day. I did two of these, and I’m not sure which one is more successful.

I’m holding off on working on artwork today.

It’s a beautiful autumn day in New York City. Yesterday, we went to another city, and past trees that were tinged…just promising fall colors. It’s times like this I miss living in the suburbs.

Here is the work on “Sentinel”, as it stood yesterday.
