    Shakin’ It Up

    Thought I’d try something different for a change. I know, I know, I often say I’m going to change my artwork, do one different picture, then back to the same old stuff. So, I’m just going to, as I wrote, try. So, I finally did do a version of the small airplane that I like.…

  • Here,and there

    Here,and there

    I’m really enjoying doing these little drawings. For now, at least. Less in the way of time, expense and aggravation. Did I mention aggravation? Yes,I guess I did. What keeps going around in my mind.. Are any of these worthy of the time and effort of large versions? So far, I am going to keep…

    IN the wink of an eye

    For those of you who noticed…….I took down my last post. For those of you who didn’t notice…it’s just as well. I was working on this, but was tired and sick…didn’t I once title a post, “Friends don’t let other friends draw sick”. If I didn’t I should have. I put up a post and…

  • And Poof, it was gone

    I’m talking about the post I just wrote, and lost. Ah, well.  Facebook keeps reminding me that I haven’t posted in a while.  I apologize for my absence.  The truth is, I’ve run straight into a brick wall of an artist’s block. I’m as stuck as  a car in a muddy ditch. This has happened…

  • Sunshine, Lollipops, Rainbows, Everything….

    The title is lyrics to a song, way back when I was a child. I wonder how many of my readers remember that song, and wish they didn’t. So, here’s the complete on the rainbow drawing. Misses the mark in a few ways. I wanted to make the rainbow more pastel, and light, as I…

  • A Stroll in the Old Neighborhood…

    Here I am, being nostalgic again. As we were packing the car with a load of *stuff* to take to the new place, I saw my landlord’s chair, against the stone wall. He’s had it there all the years we lived there, probably many years before, and now…. It got me thinking of how the…

  • A decisive victory!

    When last you saw me, I was babbling on about a decision of what to do next with my artwork. So, I’ve made a decision, and I’ll start babbling about that now. Like the New York City evening skyline, there’s another subject that’s been haunting me.  Again, it’s right outside my window. (Maybe I should…

  • Just Another Block in the Wall

    My apologies to Pink Flloyd. Artist block is a real thing that happens every so often.  I’ve been asked before how I get through it.  I’ve shown you a couple of the abstracts  I did to loosen up, and that’s one way I deal with it. Another is just to draw anything, it doesn’t matter. …
