Leaving On a Jet Plane
As I was drawing this, the song “Leaving on a Jet Plane”, kept going through my mind. For those to young to know it, it was written by John Denver, although many other musical artists covered it. Sadly, John Denver died in a small plane crash, in 1997. Maybe not a jet plane, but it…

One more time
I don’t like to repeat subject matter, but since I have done…just how many drawings of bicycles this year? I’m breaking my own rule once again. Rules are meant to be broken, even your own. This time it’s after the storm pieces. For instance, this: But one attempt at a rainbow, seemed okay, but not…

Cosine of a Learning Curve
I actually liked math, except for trigonometry. So, forgive if I use the terms wrong. So, here’s the latest: It’s not perfect, but I’m reminding myself…..I’m learning. The secret was in the details of the larger pieces. That’s hard to do so small. I did this piece, as a sketch….. To work out this: I…

Not to be Trusted
“I’m suspicious of people who don’t like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn’t like a person.” Thanks Bill Murray. Or Mark Twain. Or whoever said this originally. It doesn’t say much for my character. Dogs have a funny reaction to me. Some absolutely love me, some whimper and cry as if I’m…

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.

Shake it up!
A lot has changed since I posted last, in my personal life. First of all, Hannako has left us. We nursed her to the end, and she went peacefully. Also, I was laid off from my day job. This seemed like a good time to make a break, move back to Connecticut by myself (with…

It was a dark and stormy day…
Typical November day here…gray, rainy, brown leaves….a totally depressing mess. Around the corner lurks the (gasp) winter holidays…which some love, some hate, depending on your life and/or disposition. Or your job….hello to my fellow retail workers! So, no wonder I had to make peace with November. Having left my day job in an ambulance, no…

It Mocks Me!
It happens every year about this time…the view from my living room window mocks me. The leaves fall, revealing one of the most beautiful, famous scenes anywhere. Something I’ve tried and tried again to capture. The Manhattan skyline. It mocks me. Some of my failures: I must do this scene justice before I…
