  • Notes from a Broad

    Back at work again…nearly trashed the beginning of Connecticut Fantasy, but glancing at it again, I decided it was worth the try. So, saved from the garbage. And for colored pencil artists out there….Beware Prismacolor Orange. It’s very fugitive. Unfortunately, I used it on one of my favorites “Cloud Over Greenwich/Jessica’s Home”. Now the original…

  • Starting Small

    One thing or another…just not feeling my best. Oh, I suppose I could complain about everything that’s happened to make me feel that way, but truth is, it’s not all that interesting. Not even to me. So, I’ll spare you. I did start a little on Connecticut Fantasy, but given my decrepit condition, I’m taking…

  • All the best intentions….

    Evidently, the charity that I send my drawings to had a problem with its venue…so my work will be sent back. Maybe they’ll find someplace else in the future. But in the meantime, more about “Connecticut Landscape Fantasy”. Sometimes, I like to do a composition based on real places, but in a free-flowing mode, using…

  • So, we meet again…..

    Doing some work for my friend’s charity….here’s a sketch of a winged horse. It’s being revised to have a little girl on the back, and lettering :Jessica Rekos, Angel of Sandy Hook. It’s a start.

  • Another interest in healing

    I’m starting on a new healing project. A friend and her daughter are starting a new project. The story goes like this: My friend’s daughter was giving riding lessons to a young girl named Jessica. Unfortunately, she was killed in the Newtown, CT massacre. So, in her memory, we are raising funds to give riding…

  • 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…
