When in Doubt…..
Draw a cat. That’s my go to when I don’t have any other ideas. The cat drawing I tried to do was going nowhere. It was going along well, until I drew the cat’s front leg. It didn’t go so well. It kind of looked like the cat had a thick tail sticking out of…

Missed the Deadline
My idea was to post every Sunday, but I missed the boat this week. I was working on this drawing “Stephanie’s Driveway”. I was held up because I decided to indicate the texture of the asphalt with little dots. So, there I was, going dot, dot, dot It took a long time, more than anticipated.…

You Have No Idea!
I finished this a while ago: “Storm Brewing”. Yes, that’s some kind of canine howling at the clouds. It is the start of my cloud series. Since I don’t have any other idea for a cloud drawing, it’s also the end of my cloud series. My next idea is that of a haunted, no really…

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…

Last year, I spent winter exploring the new landscape around me, a suburban, not New York City surrounding. Nothing much has changed in this new area…

Somehow, I Managed It
As I was saying, I woke up to a an orderly mess of scribbles. So, what did I do. Sometimes, there are things in artwork that there are no words for. I did something here, I did something there, I added a little blue. So, I pulled it off. I captured the feeling a bright…

The Worst of 2016
Yes, you read that right. I already have a candidate for my worst art of the year. I guess I’m still not feeling the greatest, and my judgment is off, but I really bombed hard on this one: I meant to exaggerate the colors in this slightly, but went clearly overboard. It came out…

“It’s Been a Long, Cold, Lonely Winter….”
Everyone is familiar with “Here Comes the Sun” by George Harrison. I was, however, introduced to the song through this cover: Peter Tosch….Here Comes the Sun It was an anthem of a very beautiful spring. Anyway, back to the present. It feels as if it’s been a long winter, but it hasn’t. In fact, the…
