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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
