    And Then There’s This

    I forgot to mention that I have some of my artwork to see at Market Street Creatives in Torrington. Website is Market Street Creatives Also, as I was fiddling around not doing artwork, I did another piece.

  • The View

    The View

    By the view, I’m not talking about the TV show with Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, Rosie O’Donnell etc. This is about the drawing I have above, “View From Mayer Mountain”. There is no exciting story about the creation of this. I have a friend who believes, like magic, there’s some deep meaning. In some cases,…

  • Lazy, Crazy Days of Summer

    Lazy, Crazy Days of Summer

    Yes, it’s been one of those kind of summer days. It’s hot, and it knocks all the energy out of me. And out of my boyfriend. And out of our cats. I did finish the drawing above, but that was a few days ago. It was relatively simple to do. I really did need a…

  • 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…
