Making Progress
It’s Imbolc for Pagans, and Groundhog day for the rest. It’s the day that early signs of spring are celebrated..the beginning of the end of the long winter. My cast is off, and I’m on to physical therapy. I can nearly write, which means I can nearly draw. I’m typing normally again, in other words…badly.…

Not for Sale
My wrist is getting better, and I am savoring (More like salivating over) the prospect doing artwork again. Yes, in a little more than a week, my cast will be off. A little physical therapy, and I’ll be good to go. After that announcement, I want to know…are you tired of blogs (including mine), trying…

I, Me, Mine
The portrait above is me, a few years back. I’m not really into doing self portraits. Why would I want to do that, when there are so many more interesting and beautiful subjects to be drawn?

Get Out the Tanning Butter!
The title happens to be from the song “Rock Lobster”, by the B-52s. Strangely enough, that happens to be Our Song. Yes, that’s the romantic tune to which my partner and I bonded, on our first date. Most importantly, it was the Labor Day weekend, the last of the lazy, hazy days of summer. Ah,…

Alas
One of my friends calls this the “Psycho House”. I guess I can understand that. Maybe,you can see Norman Bates’ mother in the attic. That was not the intention of the drawing. The idea was the house’s windows were reflecting the dawn’s rosy colors. I always think of Psycho, now. Or an episode of the…

Here’s the drawing that I made in celebration of t hat celebration. The ritual includes such things as The Superbowl, and Mardi Gras. And of…

The Worst is Yet to Come
I have a tradition, on New Years, to post the worst picture of the previous year. It helps me keep my sense of humor, and a sense of humility. So, here goes, the worst of 2018! I actually only did two pictures in 2018, due to my stubborn artist’s block. Therefore, the worst isn’t as…

Starting All Over, Again, Again
Can You Draw a Bicycle? I thought this article was pretty amusing. Of course, drawing from imagination is a challenge. Most of my life I’ve used photos or life as reference, but now I start out on a new quest (self-indulgence is great). I’m drawing from imagination. Pertinent to this is drawing a bicycle from…

The Devil is in the Details
My father was a detail man. He was a commercial artist, and his specialty was filling in the designs on the fabric of shirts, pants, diamonds, and just about anything else that was advertised. I can’t imagine how he had the patience to do such a thing, but, perhaps it’s just that it was income,…
