    Not for Sale

    My wrist is getting better, and I am savoring (More like salivating over) the prospect doing artwork again.  Yes, in a little more than a week, my cast will be off. A little physical therapy, and I’ll be good to go. After that announcement, I want to know…are you tired of blogs (including mine), trying…

  • Some things take time….and a blast from the past.

    In case you were wondering what happened to me the last week or so, I have been busy on this new drawing.  It has a lot of detail, and is time consuming.  I work on it for a while from time to time, but not so intensely that the monotony makes me want to pull…

  • Let’s Put It Aside. (Maybe It’ll Look Better in the Morning)

    Came to a good stopping place on “King of the Beasts”.  It’s being set aside, I’m going to look at it with a fresh eye in the morning.  It it meets approval, by me of course, I will post it.  If not, it’s back to the drawing board…literally. So…for now, I’m bringing you… AN UGLY…

  • Just what you’ve been waiting to see!

      Oooops, wrong picture…that’s my messy easel.  Let’s try it again:         Okay, not t he best photo in the world, it has a hot spot, but at least I try.  Anyway, this is the drawing that’s going into the silent auction.  If you’re in the Connecticut area May 3, stop in….lots…

  • Well, I never did make peace with February……

    The finished work I did after the sketch, (the sketch I liked), I felt Eh about.  So, the large work has been put aside for a long, long time.  I may go back to it, but right now, it’s time for other projects. I mean, after all, February’s over…..which means it’s March…..which means it will…

  • If an artist draws in the forest, and there’s nobody to see, is it art?

    Work is coming along on “Floral Overload”.  Right now, there’s not enough further progress to show a work-in-progress.  Nothing new to show, so I’ll show something old. Something very old…from high school.  I eventually did a very large version as a mural for the school I attended. Truth is, I’m feeling stuck.  I need to…

  • A little diversion

    January is coming along fine, despite the fact that it is now, February. What is taking me a lot of time is that for snow, I’m having to do little dots, dots and more dots. Not the big overwhelming kind I did in the original. It is time consuming. While I’m doing this, I’m trying…

  • Winged Horse

    Doing some work for my friend’s charity….here’s a sketch of a winged horse. It’s being revised to have a little girl on the back, and lettering :Jessica Rekos, Angel of Sandy Hook. It’s a start.
