    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!

    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,…

    INto YOUR LIFE It Will Creep

    I may not have that right….the 1960’s was a long time ago. The song was “What It’s Worth”, by the Buffalo Springfield. What “It” was, was paranoia. In my rewording…into your life it will creep is………….BOREDOM! A lot less sinister than paranoia, but they both can end up doing strange things. Like questionable art. Once,…

  • A WEEK IN THE CLOUD

    A WEEK IN THE CLOUD

    The week between Christmas and New Years is a little surreal to me. It’s a regular week, but it’s not, it’s time in limbo. Real, but out of the ordinary, like files in the Cloud. There have been better holiday weeks, than this in 2020. It’s been a rough year, for everyone. People are looking…

    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…

    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…

  • GoodBYE, Roxyart; Hello Roxyart

    GoodBYE, Roxyart; Hello Roxyart

    This is to let you know, if you’ve been getting here via the URL roxyart.com, it will no longer get you here. Use roxannebaldwin.com, instead. Roxyart.com was my first domain name, which I got in 1998. It has some sentimental value for me, so I hung onto it for a long time. My first website…

    Quick

    Did a revision to “Day is Done”. I guess what I thought……minimalist, less is more, and all that…. Woke up in the morning, had some coffee, and realized I had missed the mark. Fortunately, I didn’t make a big enough boo-boo to ruin the drawing…. So, as things are going, I may take a look…
