  • Indecision is my vocation…

    So, the holiday fair is long since over.  Considering the weather, it was okay (in that I didn’t lose too much money).  I did, however, learn a lot from a fellow vendor. Plus a chance to visit with my long time friends…so, it was worth it. But what has that to do with indecision? Absolutely nothing….as…

  • The Time Has Come…..

    Let’s just say, I’m feeling the love.  Have been doing an affirmation every morning, and I just feel as if everything is flowing, and I’m going with the flow.  Even the parts I don’t like, well,I accept it as part of the flow and everything will work out in the end…….. So, back to art….and…

  • Down and Dirty

    Time to get down and dirty, back to the nitty-gritty, and other last generation cliches…. Wasn’t my art supposed to be about healing? As I rush around producing merchandise for shows, and feel the angst of the approach of another Christmas Rush in retail…. Something stopped me, and told me to get back to my…

  • Life is a badly written soap opera

    Did I use that title before?  I think I either used it, or something similar.  Anyway, I guess repeating yourself comes with age.  So, if I did, my apologies. The soap opera has been at my day job….yes, I’m still there, filling in while the manager takes vacation time.  Intrigues and plot twists galore….only not…

  • October Fruit Loops

    It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but my autumn landscape has been finished for a while.  I like it..wasn’t sure if I did.  But that’s an artist’s constant conflict, so no matter. I looked at it, and what came to mind is a bowl of Fruit Loops, my secret passion.  So, here it is:…

  • I’m in the Mood for Fall….

    Most of autumn I hate.  It’s the rain-soaked doorstep to winter.  Bare trees, cold weather, and the beginning of the most stressful time of year for many folk…the Holidays, with a capital H.  As in Hell. But there is a little sliver in time between the end of the summer weather, and the really dark…

  • I have conquered the monster!

    Finally, I have done a version of the Manhattan skyline at dusk that I think I can live with.   At least well enough.  Now, I can go to my grave a satisfied person. Now what?   Christmas is coming, and I’m getting ready for the fair.  That’s my focus for now, getting merchandise ready…

  • Half Asleep and a WIP

    Erg.  Yawn, Ooompph. I took a sleeping pill last night because I’ve been having insomnia. A lot of things on my mind I guess,  though good.  Except the car breaking down 😦 What’s on my mind?   I’m getting ready for a holiday season where I will be selling my own products instead of someone…

  • Some people want to fill the world with drawings of people singing silly love songs

    Finished “Love Ballad”, it went way more quickly than “Floral Overload”, and I’m just as pleased with it.  I worked using the direction of the pencil strokes to convey movement and sound.  So, here ’tis:   So, now what? I admit, I ran up against a brick wall when it came to ideas.  Not surprising,…
