Every So Often, Once in a While
Sometimes, I get the urge to do something experimental. No, not leaving some poor dog to starve on a gallery floor. Can you believe that? Someone actually did that. My experiments are well within the parameters of my usual style. Sometimes, they’re a success, and sometimes, damn it, they’re dismal failures: The featured picture all…

My Lucky Break
My lucky break that I missed and didn’t take. It could have been just my imagination, nothing of consequence to anybody but me. It may have been nothing of consequence, but I’m going to tell you about it anyway. One of my day jobs was working as a sales associate in the Metropolitan Museum of…

Up in the Air.
Maybe one of you can help me with this. I’m totally confused, and maybe seriously, ….er, messed up. The good news is, I got a new desktop. The bad news is, I tried to transfer the photos on my phone to the new desktop. I may have made a big mistake. I think I should…

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…

Sometimes, you just gotta say @&^$^ it.
Okay, maybe it’s karma I earned for the pride I expressed in how much easier doing art is for me, now. …but I’m in a real mess with “Making Peace with January”. After delicately laying color, it was bland and going nowhere, and I didn’t know what to do next. So, I started scribbling, and…

Totally clueless in New York City
So, I’m working on “Making Peace with January”. Repetitive work again, therefore, I must take it in small bits because 1. It’s driving me nuts 2. I have no idea where I’m going with this. Did I mention that it’s driving me nuts? I’ve been having a string of nights when I can’t sleep. I…

Less than sparkling and FREE GIFTS!
Putting together an art show can really sap your energy and creativity. I’m still enthusiastic about “Construction”, but I’m too tired and distracted to work on it right now. I went to Birch Coffee (5 East 27th Street) to check the space out again. I was worried before whether I’d have enough art to fill…
