    Back to back

    As I went to renew my plan for this blog, I was reminded that I started this blog in 2010. How the hell did that happen? I do remember some early years of ranting against the unfairness of the art world. Where the hell was I in 2010? New York city, of course, living the…

  • Taking a second look

    Taking a second look

    So,it’s kind of like this…and I am sure that all of you go through this, no matter what you do…. Finding something that you discarded as totally, totally awful, then deciding it’s not so bad. As is the case with this. See,I hated the damn thing so much that I didn’t delicately trim it. Looking…

  • What’s your sign, Babe?

    What’s your sign, Babe?

    For those of you who weren’t around in the 1960’s, or weren’t paying attention, astrology was a big thing.  At parties, in classrooms, on jobs, “What’s your sign?”, was the big question…yeah, pretty lame, but it was a good icebreaker. For those of you who are interested, I’m a Pisces. For those of you who…

    Next Episode……….Same time, same place

    When we last left Roxanne, she was in turmoil as to what to do next………..then she took a nap, had some coffee, and watched an old episode of “WKRP in Cincinnati” on YouTube.  Her mind was cleared with an ethereal sense of purpose.  “I’ve got it!” She cried. In the meantime, getting back to here…

    Buzzing

    Ever have one of those damn bugs, buzzing around your head in a threatening manner?  You don’t know whether to swat and kill the damn thing, or steadfastly ignore it.  Ideas in art can be the same way. The drawing I’m referring to is based on this photo:   Trust me.  It was a lot…

    The Bronx is up……….

    Yes, I promised birds…………BUT. I changed my mind again. I found the files of old work, which was this woman’s treasure.  There’s a lot of stuff that I don’t think I put on this blog…was on my old Blogger Blog that still exists somewhere in the vast Universe of the internet, probably.  Maybe not, and…

    Come Bobbing Along, Already!

    I have a friend who visits from Thailand every couple of years.   He’ll be here in March, and I was starting to make plans……………and he said, “Well that’s two months away”.   I really thought it was right around the corner.  Thanks for nothing, James! As I said last post, I was going to work on…

  • Do it again, again

    Do it again, again

    Okay,  I really should give it some time  before I post a drawing I’ve finished.  There’s something about posting it, for all, the world to see, to show off my mistakes.  Ooops. So, as I  looked at “Winter Horse Farm”, I realized, once again, it was too stark and uninteresting.  So, this is what it…

  • Okay, Boomer…

    Okay, Boomer…

    Yes, I’m a boomer, for good or bad….actually it’s a bit of both.  Why? you may ask. Whether you ask why or not, I’m going to tell you, or give you an example. When, I was first learning to compose pictures, my mother would teach me to check the drawings out in the mirror.  That…
