  • Bird on a Street Light

    Bird on a Street Light

    I’m always looking for ideas for drawing, and these days I seem to be stretching. I feel sometimes that I have run out of ideas. There doesn’t seem to be any inspiration from my surroundings anymore. So, as I said, I have to stretch. The drawing above is one example. I had seen a bird…

  • Excited Cats and Spring’s Arrival: A Fun Perspective

    Excited Cats and Spring’s Arrival: A Fun Perspective

    It’s spring! FINALLY! It’s been brutal, it’s over. Still having some winter weather, but that will disappear soon. My cats are excited to see the birds. They sit at the window and give out an almost inaudible meow. That’s another sign of spring, frustrated cats wanting to pounce on prey, but can’t do it. A…

  • It’s My Birthday: Honoring St. Gertrude and Cat Art

    It’s My Birthday: Honoring St. Gertrude and Cat Art

    Actually, it’s my birthday. On St. Patricks Day, everyone asks me if I am Irish. I’m not. But, it’s also St. Gertrudes Day, and she’s the patron saint of cats. In my life, that makes a lot more sense. So, as usual, I will celebrate my birthday by posting some of the cat pictures I…

  • Well, Well, Well

    Well, Well, Well

    Life has been pretty eventful this past week, so I didn’t have enough artwork. I did do one drawing, but I’m not sure if I like it or not. I’ll have to put it away, and look at it later. Everyone who knows me, knows I’m a cat lover. I also am drawn to contrasting…

  • If Grandma Moses Could Do It

    If Grandma Moses Could Do It

    So can I At what age does an artist give up on making a steady income from art? I know I’ve heard of some women working into their 90’s. I think I read about a woman who finally was discovered when she was 92, but died two years later. So, I’ll just keep at it.…

  • Disappointment

    Disappointment

    I’ve had a very disappointing week. Here’s my sob story. Actually, it’s not all that bad, just frustrating. I ended up out of ideas. I just thought it was necessary for me to do something, so I wouldn’t fall into a slump. So, I created “Tree of Life in Winter”, because I had every intention,…

  • Snowbound

    Snowbound

    I’ve been busy this week! I actually did two drawings this week. I think that is not my enterprise that affected me. It’s more like the weather is bitter cold, and I don’t want to go anywhere. Also, a week ago, it snowed and it hasn’t melted yet. As it is, I’ve seen more snow…
