  • For Those of You Who Can’t Draw a Straight Line

    For Those of You Who Can’t Draw a Straight Line

    Which is about everyone. I haven’t come up with an interesting title for this, but I think you can figure out it’s a carousel. For the great unwashed, like me, it’s a merry-go-round. I have to brag though, I did draw the straight lines without a ruler. These lines are long, so it would have…

  • Stuck in a Winter Wonderland

    Stuck in a Winter Wonderland

    I’ve been working so hard on holiday cards, it’s hard to believe it’s not winter. I look outside, and I expect to see snow. It’s been gray and rainy here for a week, it’s hard to believe that, at least for a few days, it’s still summer. The only drawing I can think of from…

  • Well, That Isn’t Working

    Well, That Isn’t Working

    I was trying to post a flyer that tells about the festival I’m doing on November 12. It’s in Newtown, CT from 10-4. I will be selling hand drawn holiday cards. The show supports the American Cancer Society. It’s in the NYA Sports and Fitness Center on the Fairfield Hills Campus at 4 Primrose Drive,…

  • Good Morning!

    Good Morning!

    I don’t know what that Remaster is, but I can’t seem to delete it unless I delete the picture with it. At long last, a complete drawing! I finally got a supply of paper in, and this is the result. So, what to say about it. I have a friend who insists that everyone is…

  • Sometimes, Roses Are Pink

    Sometimes, Roses Are Pink

    I wasn’t sure what to title this piece, I was thinking about “Roses, Curves and Lines”. It would give the viewer an idea of the abstract qualities of this drawing. I see that I cropped this picture wrong. What a load of crop! Sorry, bad pun. I’ll be photographing all my work again, in a…

  • Rememember When?

    Rememember When?

    Okay, here’s another work-in-progress, but only a tiny corner that I found interesting. Then when I looked closer, I saw something that looked familiar to me. For those of us who took standardized tests in elementary school, and the SATs too, the little ovals made me think of the ovals we filled in on those…

  • This Is Going to Be a Doozy

    This Is Going to Be a Doozy

    Does Nature ever give you a gift? One special moment, one glimpse of sublime beauty that will last forever? Or God, or Universe, or Krishna etc.? I had one such moment as I was getting ready to do this particular drawing, of this particular tree: It was a honeybee, gathering nectar from a maple tree…

  • One Step at a Time

    One Step at a Time

    I’ve always been able to find inspiration for artwork within a couple of blocks of where I live. That was true in NYC, too. For instance: A couple of doors down from me. Finding so much inspiration is something I’m pretty proud of. Perhaps it’s silly, but there it is. Same with the tree I…

  • 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…
