  • You Have No Idea!

    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.

    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…

  • And Changing My Mind Back…

    It’s still wintry around here.  We had the bomb cyclone yesterday, gray skies today.  No daffodils.  No forsythia.  No crocus.  Spring is not in a hurry to get here. So, paper is on order and I worked on the cloudy day drawing I originally intended. So, is it moody…or is it just plain depressing.  I’m…

  • Looking at the Smaller Picture…

    Without working in the retail Christmas rush, I have gotten past the rush.  Now, New Year’s is on the horizon, and then that expanse of time known as winter. 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…

  • Ahem,….While We’re Waiting

    Well, still my pencils and papers are in limbo, between dwelling places.  As an old friend of mine would put it, I’m “jonesing” on lack of creative time.  My eyeballs are bulging, and the veins in my forehead are throbbing.  So it feels, at least.  Recently, I’ve been reading that simple coloring relaxes adults in…

  • Finally Made Peace with February…

    Around  the middle of March. So, it was one of those deals where the idea for the drawing kept nagging me, and I couldn’t ignore it.  I had realized what I had screwed up, so of course…..I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t give it another go.  So. Of course, I had a few rough…
