The Struggle is Real
A few months ago, I decided I no longer wanted to work in retail anymore. This is both mentally and physically. I had no skills otherwise. except drawing. I tried many things to make money. Of course, I tried (and still am trying) to sell my big drawings. I’ve made hand drawn note cards, and…

Happy Autumn!
I have to admit, I’m beginning to like autumn. It’s cool weather ends the hot weather of summer. Much as I love summer, I look forward to the end of it. Also, the colors of the leaves are another reason I like fall. Here, I was just stepping out of the car and saw this.…

Violated My Own Rule!
Bob Ross always said, there are no mistakes, just happy accidents. In my latest attempt, I was happy accidenting all over the place. My usual rule is: Don’t draw when you’re absorbed with other things. I violated my own rule. I do have an idea of how to salvage it, but not today. I do…

Love Shack, Baby!
Ok, I’m wrong, my devotion to the B52’s not withstanding. It’s a love nest. My friend looked at it and said ” You must have been a little squirrely when you drew this. “. Another friend chimed in, “No, she was just plain nuts!”. Well, so much for my friends. It is a squirrels’ nest.…

Having a Grand Old Time
Isn’t there a metaphysical lesson about living with uncertainty? I’m pretty sure there is. Or at least, there should be. That’s my personal life right now. One of the certain things, we’re having an especially beautiful fall. And that’s all I’ve got to draw about that

IT COMES DOWN TO THIS……
One day,, two little abstracts later, and I’m already bored. I remember an art class in 5th grade. We were given a lot of sticks, told to drop the sticks anywhere the cardboard we were given, have fun don’t make anything. While the other students were making abstracts worthy of Jackson Pollack, I decided to…

Alfred Hitchcock Strikes Again!
Or maybe it’s Bob Marley’s talking birds saying not to worry. Anyway, birds. Again. We’re into autumn now, soon to take a turn into winter. I will be away for Halloween, visiting and celebrating with a friend in the Midwest. Crows make a great subject for Halloween, and fall in general. And winter, for that…
