Calm Down, Calm Down
We have a very sweet cat, named Pumpkin. He’s calm most of the time, except when we’re late giving him his breakfast, or pet him to the point of annoyance. In those cases, he either gives you a nibble with his teeth, or a swat with his claws. My boyfriend has some kind of magic, […]

I’m Being Haunted
I’m out again, looking for shows to enter and galleries to represent me. I’m wiser this time, and I have lost my fear of rejection, but still, it’s tiring. One gallery director keeps wanting me to do something different than what I do. Maybe should just tell me she doesn’t like my style? I’ve given […]

January 9, Midmorning
Finally the holiday decorations are disappearing. They’re gone from the mall, they’re gone from Main Street. In fact, the only place that still has Christmas lights left, is the house of our neighbor across the street. He’ll take then down around Valentines day. I suppose that’s not a really big thing to complain about, but […]

Alfred Hitchcock Strikes Again!
Or maybe it’s Bob Marley’s talking birds saying not to worry. Anyway, birds. Again. We’re into autumn now, soon to take a turn into winter.

FAIR DANBURY FAIR
One of the more fond memories of Danbury, is the state fair that came around every fall. That is, until 1981. Now the fairgrounds is a shopping mall. Still, there is still, a lot of good subject matter here. Why this fuss about Danbury? I’m part of a pop-up that just popped up on Friday […]

MORE GREEN, PLEASe
What, might you ask, has the above man strolling down an urban street, have to do with green? Nothing, except, while I was drawing him, my day’s priorities took the sudden turn around. Sometimes, when that happens, that’s a bad sign. This time it is good. How about this? So, why, may you ask, and […]

Well, It !!!WAS!!! SUnny earlier
Right now, this is the view from my living room window. As the title says “It WAS Sunny Earlier. And earlier, I decided to do a drawing of a rhododendron. No, not precisely. I signed up to do a pop-up show in downtown Danbury, and doing a mad dash to make as many notecards for […]
