  • You Have No Idea!

    You Have No Idea!

    I finished this a while ago: “Storm Brewing”. Yes, that’s some kind of canine howling at the clouds. It is the start of my cloud series. Since I don’t have any other idea for a cloud drawing, it’s also the end of my cloud series. My next idea is that of a haunted, no really…

  • The Swans Have Gone Viral!

    The Swans Have Gone Viral!

    No, the swans in Danbury aren’t flying around giving everyone COVID, The type of viral I mean is immense popularity on the internet. I suppose this is as viral as it gets here, one group on FB, in a small city in Connecticut. Here’s the sketch: And here’s the finish: So, in the last week…

    Back to the Day Job

    Here’s a shot of the mall, where I work. There’s a carousal, which probably came from the old state fair for which Danbury, CT was known. I’ve done some drawing of the carousal, as this one: And this one: In a sudden turn of subject, there’s a song that was popular in the 60’s……….The Windmills…

    I Can’t Get Over A Guy Like You

    Well, my “Crow in Summer ” bombed. Sometimes that happens. No, actually that often happens. Sometimes, I can fix it. Sometimes, I can redo it. Sometimes, though, I don’t care of enough to do either. Like now. So, that left me with the task of finding a new idea. Nothing came at me in a…

  • FAIR DANBURY FAIR

    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…

    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…

    Here,and there

    I’m really enjoying doing these little drawings. For now, at least. Less in the way of time, expense and aggravation. Did I mention aggravation? Yes,I guess I did. What keeps going around in my mind.. Are any of these worthy of the time and effort of large versions? So far, I am going to keep…

    Come Bobbing Along, Already!

    I have a friend who visits from Thailand every couple of years.   He’ll be here in March, and I was starting to make plans……………and he said, “Well that’s two months away”.   I really thought it was right around the corner.  Thanks for nothing, James! As I said last post, I was going to work on…

  • Making Peace with Winter

    Making Peace with Winter

    Hello folks!   I’ve mentioned before about my seasonal depression, and guess what!  It’s nearly winter again.  I did a series of drawings one year, making peace with each month. For instance, this was “Making Peace with November”. And this was “Making Peace with December” I believe this one was “Making Peace with January”, but as…
