I Promise You a Rose Garden
Spoiler Alert! It will look something like this, but hopefully (there’s that word again, hopefully) much better. This, of course, is the preliminary sketch, Speaking of roses, I just sent a batch of note cards to a long lost friend. This of course which I know I have posted before. The detail and control…

Questionable Quandary
Hurray for spell check! Otherwise, I would have misspelled quandary. Thank God for the blessings of our digital world. Some of those blessings I’m not so fond of, however. But I digress. This blog is about art, not the information age. So, now the quandary. My latest drawing came out very well, in my opinion. …

Missed the Boat…
Every so often, I do something that, to me, is unacceptable. In other words I….fail. Usually I don’t redo the ones that miss the mark, but this time I will. The featured picture is probably the best of the tries I made of this idea. I did it when I was painting with acrylic, rhinestones…

Forsooth, forsythia!
I’ve lamented and moaned on how fast spring passes. You’re probably sick of it, I’m sick of it, but I’m going to do it again. Why? Because it’s another spring, and by the time I draw the daffodils, the tulips are gone. Damn. So this spring, I’m going to get away from my usual MO,…
