In the interest of healing
I am sending some pictures to a charity “Anchored to Mental Health”, a mental health awareness organization. I may have posted these before, but here’s a reprise. This is a donation….figure art that is sitting around in boxes is not doing anyone any good.

Pocket Paradise WIP
Here’s the first step in the large “Pocket Paradise”. I have the flag done, but realize, I don’t have the stripes a consistent width. I’m going to keep it that way….that’s the true impression the flag gives, and my work is interpretive, after all. Had a rejection from a juried show, but was invited to […]

Freedom Tower, work in progress 2

Yellow Brick Road
Well, despite leaving this blog unattended, I have been busy. Here’s the latest. Somehow, I managed to draw this on the back of a self-portrait without realizing it. I don’t know if that makes it more or less valuable. Also accomplished today! A cake! Sort of decorated….I’ve got a long way to go. Well, done […]

My Big Break
The art reception is over, and now I’m a famous artist! Or, not, depends on how delusional I am on any given day. The reception went well. Turned out to be just a few friends, and we all had a nice visit. Just what I was expecting, I don’t know. I was incredibly anxious on […]
