    Back to the Day Job

    Here’s a shot of the mall, where I work. There’s a carousal, which probably came from the old state fair for which Danbury, CT was known. I’ve done some drawing of the carousal, as this one: And this one: In a sudden turn of subject, there’s a song that was popular in the 60’s……….The Windmills…

  • The Bronx is up……….

    The Bronx is up……….

    Yes, I promised birds…………BUT. I changed my mind again. I found the files of old work, which was this woman’s treasure.  There’s a lot of stuff that I don’t think I put on this blog…was on my old Blogger Blog that still exists somewhere in the vast Universe of the internet, probably.  Maybe not, and…

    Come Bobbing Along, Already!

    I have a friend who visits from Thailand every couple of years.   He’ll be here in March, and I was starting to make plans……………and he said, “Well that’s two months away”.   I really thought it was right around the corner.  Thanks for nothing, James! As I said last post, I was going to work on…

  • As a Crow Flies, Revised

    You know, the latest “As the Crow Flies”, in person, has a nice stark minimalist air to it,much like a white-out snowstorm.  Online, that gets lost.  Since most of my work is seen online, I decided to change it and make it more finished looking.  So, once again, “As the Crow Flies”

  • Hurray! I Got Rejected!

    I finally bit the bullet, and sent out an application to a gallery.  I got a polite note back, saying my work was not a fit for the gallery.  Also, the note said, that my information would be kept on file, in case there was a change. (Yeah, right?) So, why “Hurray!”?  I’m celebrating that…

  • Good News…For Me at Least

    I’ve been accepted into the art show of winter themed art, “Winter Wonderland”.  It’s going to be at the Botte Shop in Mamaroneck, NY on January 20th 2018 from 1:00 pm to 4:00.  I wish I could be there, but I have to be elsewhere. The elsewhere I have to be, is the Michael’s Store…

  • Wishing You Joy…and a Couple of Blasts from the Past.

    I know I must sound like a broken record, referring to healing art.  Simply put, when a person is down and miserable, I want to supply an antidote.  My work is unabashedly feel-good, joyous and happy.  Making it brings me out of a chronic depression….I hope viewing it makes you happier, too. So, be it.…

  • Easy Peasy…except Richard doesn’t like peas.

    Okay, remember how I was struggling over the first “Making Peace with January”?  I went back to the idea…after first taking a more observant look at the subject matter I was planning to draw, a seagull in front of a mackerel sky.  I did the sketch in just a few minutes….easiest thing I’ve done in…

  • My Little Chickadee…dee,dee,dee….

    I’m working on the drawing that I sketched earlier in the week. Since wintertime is such a hard time for me, and many others, I’ve decided to make my work this season devoted to making peace and healing with this cold, dark time of year. Another theme I’m working on, as a healing subject, is…
