  • MORE GREEN, PLEASe

    MORE GREEN, PLEASe

    What, might you ask, has the above man strolling down an urban street, have to do with green? Nothing, except, while I was drawing him, my day’s priorities took the sudden turn around. Sometimes, when that happens, that’s a bad sign. This time it is good. How about this? So, why, may you ask, and…

  • Well, It !!!WAS!!! SUnny earlier

    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…

  • Up in the Air.

    Up in the Air.

    Maybe one of you can help me with this. I’m totally confused, and maybe seriously, ….er, messed up. The good news is, I got a new desktop. The bad news is, I tried to transfer the photos on my phone to the new desktop. I may have made a big mistake. I think I should…

  • What Happened to YouTube?

    What Happened to YouTube?

    So, I realize that my idea of posting on YouTube is dead in still water. Why? I realized that the people who have really good video channels, post about a subject other than themselves. They’re informative, and entertaining. So, talking about one’s self, doesn’t seem to be all that interesting. Unless, of course, you’re a…

  • I’ve Gone Abstract!

    I’ve Gone Abstract!

    I pushed them aside, thinking, that’s not me, they’re gimmicks. Old stick in the mud me. Years ago, while I was working on my subjective art, every so often, an idea would come to me for an abstract piece, a conceptual piece or wildly ,well,wild ideas. I wonder at times if I followed that path,…

    Herding (NOT Hoarding)cats

    As I have told you year after year, time after time…..St. Patrick’s Day is my birthday. And what I have told you, only slightly as often, it’s also St. Gertrude of Nivelle’s Day. She’s the patron saint of cats….I found that this last tradition is only from the1980’s. I’m disappointed, that it’s not ancient lore…

  • The Subject Is Titles

    The Subject Is Titles

    I haven’t done much abstract art. When I do, though, I don’t label it “Untitled “. Can you imagine this being entitled “Untitled “? I’d probably be asking, “Can’t you give me a clue?”. But you don’t have to ask, it’s called “Guardian Angel”. Not to be confused by this: Okay, I don’t play games.…

  • Are YOu Serious?

    Are YOu Serious?

    I realize why some of my work just draws blank looks. Art is not supposed to be funny…or at least fanciful. No, I don’t mean huge guffaws, as you get with a comedian. I mean more of a lighthearted and jolly mood. (Did I really use the word jolly?) No, art is serious. It tackles…

  • It’S eCLECTIC!

    It’S eCLECTIC!

    Can’t get rid of this damn chair, can I? Did I tell you about my first day as a DJ assistant? I got the name of “The Electric Slide”, wrong, and shouted out, “It’s Eclectic!”. No, that’s not true. Makes for a good story, though, I do have a true story about the word eclectic,…
