Once Again
I’m stuck. I’m stuck because I can’t think of a full-sized drawing to do. My life had been filled with non-art things, so I just did notecards for something artistic to do. Now that life has settled down for a while, I’m ready to do something full-sized. But I’m stuck. So, here are the notecards…

ROADBLOCK!
Okay, you’ve seen this before. And, here it is, again! You might be wondering why I’m posting old artwork. There’s a reason. Here it is: I’m stuck. I’m in an artistic traffic jam, when there is a stalled car up ahead, and you’re hours behind it in a stopped highway. And then, the police try…

The Flowers That Bloom in the Spring..Tra la

Give me a good, non-fiction book on modern physics or psychology, and I’m happy. So, when it came to art, I liked to portray things…

I have absolutely nothing to show you….but……
I’m working on “Making Peace with January”, and so far, it’s very pale…it would not show up very well. I’m doing glazes with the colored pencil, building up to what I call a Pisces Gray, made up of a lot of colors, but the eye blends them into gray. It’s a livelier gray than just…

Completely Illrelevant, but then again, maybe not….
I’ll be working on the background of “Winged Foal”, and I expect it will take some time. Rather than bore you with repetitive pictures of the progress, I thought I’d post something I’ve shown no one, until now. A few years back I was totally stuck. My representational art was coming out less than awesome. …
