  • Yay for me!

    Yay for me!

    Cycles This is so exciting to me. A real vote of confidence, and a real shot in the arm. Of course, since now I am working small, I thought I’d show the small drawing that this is derived from. I’m proud of them both. Just to let you know, I was planning to use this…

    Do it Again, then

    One of the pluses of working small, is that it isn’t an overwhelming task to redo a drawing. The drawing of the yellow basket ball really didn’t turn out the way I’d hoped. I went too far, it became muddy. The leaves were too cartoony. So, I redid it, and I’m much more pleased. A…

    have a Ball!

    Having grown tired of cats, I saw this little scenario, that had possibilities. So, I did a little picture of the little scenario. Yellow Basketball So, my mind got onto the subject of balls.

  • OH NO!

    When last we saw our heroine, she was happily contemplating a new supply of art paper, and time to do work. But the paper wasn’t arriving. Then it dawned on her.

    Distraction

    I know many artists are making sad art,reflecting the current times. I’m not good at that, my attempts at sad, thoughtful art have been damn depressing. Who needs that? The best I can do is bittersweet. I want to try to contribute something during this sad time, but I don’t have much in way of…

  • Part two

    Part two

    So, I finished the full-sized drawing of Man,Dog, Phone, and Parrot. I guess I could add chain link fence to the title, but that would be too long. I cheated. I started to draw the stairs, got them so out of perspective, that I just decided to make a cubist design out of the background.…
