Blown Away
What do I think of other artists’ work? I love it! I love it better than my own work, if I am honest. Mostly, I prefer representational work, although some abstract blows me away, too. What I really like is work similar to my own, only better. Frustration hits, though, when something in the non-art, […]

I Should Explain….
Here’s the latest: “Fireflies in July If that looks familiar to you, and maybe it doesn’t, I’ll explain anyway. It may remind you of this: That’s because I’m drawing something very familiar to me, which is the porches in this condo complex….so, you see, there’s a good reason for this repetition.

I’m Speechless!
No, not really, I just thought it would be a good title. This is my latest, and if you look closely, you’ll see a bird and a couple of squirrels. One thing I discovered is that just drawing leaves turns out to be boring to both the artist and the viewer. I’m pretty happy with […]

Shakin’ It Up

Back to the Day Job
Here’s a shot of the mall, where I work. There’s a carousal, which probably came from the old state fair for which Danbury, CT was known. I’ve done some drawing of the carousal, as this one: And this one: In a sudden turn of subject, there’s a song that was popular in the 60’s……….The Windmills […]

Bummer!
As you know, I have been preparing for a street festival for the last couple of weeks. I’m disappointed, it was a complete flop. I didn’t sell anything. I didn’t expect to, but I figured it’s fun and I could get my name out there. Whatever I expected didn’t happen. Here I am, looking foolishly […]
