  • I Mean, REALLY, Now….

    I’m working on items for the Winter Boutique again, but this time, a little better rested.  So, for serious..here’s the first Holiday Card I’ve done…5 by 7 inches.  It’s pretty neutral in the way it presents a holiday.  It can be either Christmas or Pagan Yule.  I’m going to try to stick with as many…

  • Remember Pumpkin? Throwback Thursday

    I can’t share with you what I am working on right now, so, I’m puttering around. We’ve got a cold, wintry mix in Danbury.  So, good news..we managed to recapture our kitty Pumpkin.  As you may recall, we captured him last December, from our former home in New York City.  This past spring, however, the call of…

  • Yay! Snow!

    Snow is in the forecast for today.  We’re not to get hit as hard as if we were still in New York City, but still a sizable amount.  It’s good day to stay inside and do artwork…as if that wasn’t what I’ve been doing for the past week anyway.  Ah, I love the snow.  It’s…

  • What the Heck!

    Okay, here it is:  It’s string, it’s a cat.  It’s the finish of “String Theory, According to Cats”.     This is a portrait of one of my pets who has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.  Her name was Kathy. Anyway, I had a rough night…and I find drawing cats to be soothing.  So, what the…

  • I’m Hiding Something….

    I like to hide things in my artwork.  Just about everyone has seen the flowers in this one:   But did you know there’s a cat in this one? Yes, it’s a very abstract cat. I wanted to put a cat in a window in this, but decided it would take away from the subject…

  • Talk About the Cat from New York City

    As I look at this drawing I’ve done of our rescue, Pumpkin, I realize it’s also part a goodbye piece (and peace) to New York City.   I won’t say goodbye for good, because one thing I’ve learned in life, is you never know what the future will bring. Back in the 1980’s, as a…

  • I Didn’t Really Feel Like Doing Any Art, Yesterday.

    One thing I find about doing art, is that you have to keep it up.  In some respects, it’s like exercise or meditation, if you slack off a day, you’re likely to slack off the next day…and then, before you know it, you’ve fallen back into the life of a slug sitting endlessly at your…

  • And Suddenly….A Cat!

    After grumbling about the day job, and not getting enough time to draw….I finally got some quality time in with my paper and pencils.  So, I have started the drawing of Pumpkin. Cats are getting pretty easy for me, now.  I’ve gotten used to the structure of their fur, ears, paws and such.  So, somehow,…

  • I’ve Got a Song Going Through My Head…

    It’s this one: The Boy From New York City, The Ad Libs I’m not really showing my age…this was a Golden Oldie on the radio already, when I was in my tender tween years. But the reason it’s going through my head, is my own damn fault.  Like so many cat owners, I get all…
