Well, I never did make peace with February……
The finished work I did after the sketch, (the sketch I liked), I felt Eh about. So, the large work has been put aside for a long, long time. I may go back to it, but right now, it’s time for other projects. I mean, after all, February’s over…..which means it’s March…..which means it will […]

A little diversion
January is coming along fine, despite the fact that it is now, February. What is taking me a lot of time is that for snow, I’m having to do little dots, dots and more dots. Not the big overwhelming kind I did in the original. It is time consuming. While I’m doing this, I’m trying […]

OMG….Everything is weeping!
Just noticed as I was finishing this, that I put in a weeping willow, a weeping pine, and made it a rainy day. Hmmn, the unconsious mind works in strange ways. Maybe sadness about the plight of those who live with MS? Maybe. Anyway, here’s the finish to “MS Bike Ride”. I changed the composition […]

Changing direction

Thank God for the invention of the iPod, otherwise, sitting, making miniscule pencil strokes over and over would have made me start raving….well, raving. For those of you who are artists, just […]

Gotta begin somewhere
I’m doing work on the MS bike ride drawing. I’ve done a very, very, rough sketch. I’ve sent it to my contact for his opinion. Here it is, remember, it’s very rough.

Bike Tour…first sketch
When I decided to look for charity work, my first thought was to contact my friend’s husband. This man is very involved in all sorts of causes, but he is also a person living with MS. Our lives were also touched, when another man living with MS, took his own life to avoid the progression […]

Connecticut Fantasy Finish
As I was going to work yesterday, our landlord came bursting out the back door. He wanted to show us that there were berries falling all over our car, and to be careful. Then he pointed out a tree I hadn’t noticed before. A mulberry. Mulberries are found in Connecticut. There were two in my […]
