  • Damn! Damn! And Damn Again!

    I seem to not be having much success with my artwork these days.  First the dogs, and now this.  My Welcome to Spring piece is not up to my somewhat perfectionist standards.  Grrr. So,while I rethink this, I will share with you a spring drawing I made a few years, back when I lived in…

  • Who Let the Dogs Out?

      I’m going to have to put the dog project on the back burner.  The opportunity at the veterinarian hospital seems to be dead in the water.  I may yet be called back, but I’m tired of the run around I seem to be getting.  Pffft. What season is this?  It was 82 degrees Friday,…

  • Give My Regards to Broadway

    Yesterday was the opening of the Pet Art Show, at the Bott Shoppe in Mamaroneck, NY.  If you’re interested in seeing the show, the address is 172 East Boston Post Road.  Besides the show, the Bott Shoppe, has an art studio, classes and art related items in its store.  If you are in the area,…

  • Coming Soon! Dogs!

    I have a veterinarian hospital interested in my work, in a town that’s right over the state border.  That’s Brewster, NY.  If anyone of my readers is old enough to remember the TV show, “That Girl’, the Marlo Thomas character lived in Brewster before she moved to NYC.  It’s a very pleasant little town. Anyway,…

  • Happy St. Gertrude’s Day!

    St. Gertrude of Nevilles to be precise.  Not St. Gertrude the Great, that’s another story. One thing about being born on St. Patrick’s Day…everyone asks if you’re Irish.  I’m not.  However, being born on the Patron Saint of Cat’s Day makes sense.  Anyone who has known me even a little while, knows I love cats.…

  • And Changing My Mind Back…

    It’s still wintry around here.  We had the bomb cyclone yesterday, gray skies today.  No daffodils.  No forsythia.  No crocus.  Spring is not in a hurry to get here. So, paper is on order and I worked on the cloudy day drawing I originally intended. So, is it moody…or is it just plain depressing.  I’m…

  • While We’re Waiting..

    I did that cheerful early spring drawing, and now….IRL, we’re back to grey, dull, cloudy days.  Anything spring-like I’d have to fake, and that never turns out well.  So, I wonder, can I portray beauty in the dismal days? I once tried doing a painting of Park Avenue in New York City on a cloudy…

  • Rushing the Season (and Rushing the Post)

    Spring moves by so fast, I wanted to get a jump on it.  The problem is, by the time I’ve managed to do a drawing of one stage of the season, spring is almost gone!  So, by the time I do a daffodil picture, the lilacs are already gone… My mother one year, greeted spring…

  • Loading…..Spring!……Loading, Loading, Loading….

    First I took this photo.  It’s the door to the office of the Pastor of the church my friend goes to. Then.later that year, I drew this Christmas card… Then, watercolor sample, I painted this…. Loading…Spring…. Do you see where I’m going with this?
