  • Alfred Hitchcock Strikes Again!

    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. I will be away for Halloween, visiting and celebrating with a friend in the Midwest. Crows make a great subject for Halloween, and fall in general. And winter, for that…

  • HOW Did that happen???

    HOW Did that happen???

    I started to explain how to blog to a friend of mine. I showed her this. When I did, I noticed that I haven’t posted since September 24, 2020. How the hell did that happen? What the hell was I doing all that time. A friend of mine said on his answering machine message, that…

  • A little bit of this, a little bit of that

    A little bit of this, a little bit of that

    It looks as if my subject matter in Danbury, Connecticut is going the same way as in Sunnyside, Queens.  Bits and pieces of the neighborhood, put together in multiple ways…so, I’m starting… A little bit of this: A little bit of that…. And then there’s that… Not to mention this… And believe it or not……this:…

  • Can’t Complain

    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…

  • Another favorite subject

    Another favorite subject

    So,I have done multiple drawings of cats and bicycles. But there is one darker subject that I haven’t mentioned. Dark in color and reputation, I find they add life and vitality to the gray days of late fall and early winter. Of course, crows. The misunderstood critters are associated with Morrigan, pagan goddess of war…

  • Having my Cake

    Having my Cake

    So, here are the most recent little drawings:     You know what I’m thinking……….Just how many small pictures do I need to do a  show?  I already have plenty.  Doing them is definitely disappointing too.   I can’t sink my teeth in them as I can with the large drawing. It’s like going into Costco,…

  • The Seasons Changed, and So Did I

    Okay, when I posted back some time ago, I was complaining about drawing foliage.  This started a downward spiral to me hating doing artwork all together, and hating my finished drawings.  I’d see ideas for artwork, but I’d shiver in disgust at the thought of drawing. So, I stopped for a while. I don’t make…

  • Richness in the Spartan

    Okay, so, here’s a mostly made up landscape with crows.  I think I managed to keep the horror movie aspect out of it. So, back to thinking of things that are delightful in the dark and the cold.  For instance, I think of the massive sky, that in other seasons, is hidden by and competing…

  • The Bird is the Word…

    As I work on the crow picture, I’m reminded of Alfred Hitchcock and “The Birds”.  I’m doing a number of crow, flourishing of course, in a limited color palette.  Now, how do I not make it look like this? It’s unfair to crows, which are a dignified, intelligent species of bird. To be fair, it’s…
