    Can’t Complain

    Wouldn’t help anything if I did… So, as I pointed out, I’ve come to a milestone 10 years….I’m not running out of ideas for the blog, but no so much artwork. Here’s a recap of the blog so far: I’ve complained about how dreary winter is: I’ve complained about Autumn being the entry to the…

  • There’s No Business, like well you know…

    There’s No Business, like well you know…

    Last Saturday was the Danbury Street Fair! In which I participated in as an artist.  I was able to do this on the cheap, without investing hundreds of dollars on equipment. I was breathlessly waiting to take the tent from its case.  I only paid $65 and a trip to Queens, NY, so there would…

  • And Poof, it was gone

    I’m talking about the post I just wrote, and lost. Ah, well.  Facebook keeps reminding me that I haven’t posted in a while.  I apologize for my absence.  The truth is, I’ve run straight into a brick wall of an artist’s block. I’m as stuck as  a car in a muddy ditch. This has happened…

  • Something Great is Coming….

    I have a routine to keep track of the approach of spring.  It’s a habit that keeps me going through the dullest months of winter.  It starts with the winter solstice, when though at the season’s darkest, the light begins to return.  Then it gets involved with more popular events…….Superbowl Sunday, Mardi Gras and my…

  • As a Crow Flies, Revised

    You know, the latest “As the Crow Flies”, in person, has a nice stark minimalist air to it,much like a white-out snowstorm.  Online, that gets lost.  Since most of my work is seen online, I decided to change it and make it more finished looking.  So, once again, “As the Crow Flies”

  • Hurray! I Got Rejected!

    I finally bit the bullet, and sent out an application to a gallery.  I got a polite note back, saying my work was not a fit for the gallery.  Also, the note said, that my information would be kept on file, in case there was a change. (Yeah, right?) So, why “Hurray!”?  I’m celebrating that…

  • Paradise Regained

    Er, Ump..sometimes I don’t know how to start.  All the coffee in the world doesn’t help.  Which reminds me, it’s time for another cup. Anyway, between getting ready for the show, and doing my household chores (yes, I really do do some), I did some art. Now talking about Paradise, you know the whole thing,…

  • A Winter’s Tale…

    This winter has been devoted to greeting cards, and gifts.  With my lack of energy in the winter, I’ve had a hard time being able to tackle much in the way of creative work.  Part of my brain hibernates, I swear, and lies dormant until March. Looking at my previous winter’s output, there a lot…

  • Speaking of Bob Ross…

    As I was working on “Sunday’s Stream of Consciousness”, Dearly Beloved looked at it, and said “You’re no Bob Ross”.  I wasn’t sure what he meant by that, good or bad.  Turns out he meant my trees are not happy, although they do have friends…. So, here it is, a drawing done nearly spontaneously with…
