• 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 […]

• 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 […]

• No,No,No!!

  

  First off, a redo of “Full Moon in the Afternoon. I promised a look again at the boring titles of the category of not a chance. These are among the drawings for the show that I have entered to the jury. Not sure when I hear back. Anyway, the ayes have it. Let’s look into […]

• Another favorite subject

  

  So,I have done multiple drawings of cats and bicycles. But there is one darker subject that I haven’t mentioned. Dark in color and reputation, I find they add life and vitality to the gray days of late fall and early winter. Of course, crows. The misunderstood critters are associated with Morrigan, pagan goddess of war […]

• Autumn Already?

  

  Yes, it’s fall, and I’m enjoying it.  Today was a crisp, bright day, with a sapphire sky.  I went to the local farmer’s market.  Apple and pears abounded-not to mention pumpkins. No, I’m not talking about my cat again.  I’m talking about the raw materials for jack-o-lanterns. My very first autumn picture in colored pencil […]

• One more time

  

  I don’t like to repeat subject matter, but since I have done…just how many drawings of bicycles this year? I’m breaking my own rule once again. Rules are meant to be broken, even your own. This time it’s after the storm pieces. For instance, this: But one attempt at a rainbow, seemed okay, but not […]

• Yet another learning curve

  

  Okay, I finished another small, masterpiece…sort of.  Thing is, these small works are not as successful as I’d like. In the past, I’ve done little work, as preliminary sketch for bigger drawings.  For instance: I got this:   From this: s I got this: In the past, I’ve managed to put in lot of detail […]

• 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 […]

• It was a dark and stormy day…

  Typical November day here…gray, rainy, brown leaves….a totally depressing mess.  Around the corner lurks the (gasp) winter holidays…which some love, some hate,  depending on your life and/or disposition.  Or your job….hello to my fellow retail workers! So, no wonder I had to make peace with November. Having left my day job in an ambulance, no […]
