    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…

  • No,No,No!!

    No,No,No!!

    First off, a redo of “Full Moon in the Afternoon. I promised a look again at the boring titles of the category of not a chance. These are among the drawings for the show that I have entered to the jury. Not sure when I hear back. Anyway, the ayes have it. Let’s look into…

    Full moon in the afternoon

    And that rhymes! Here’s my latest. Sometimes, coming up with a title is the hardest part of a drawing. I suppose I could go the way of “Untitled 1”, “Untitled 2″and so on. But what fun is that? Most of my titles are pretty dull and boring, when I think about it. Here are some…

    Making Peace with Winter

    Hello folks!   I’ve mentioned before about my seasonal depression, and guess what!  It’s nearly winter again.  I did a series of drawings one year, making peace with each month. For instance, this was “Making Peace with November”. And this was “Making Peace with December” I believe this one was “Making Peace with January”, but as…
