  • Good News…For Me at Least

    I’ve been accepted into the art show of winter themed art, “Winter Wonderland”.  It’s going to be at the Botte Shop in Mamaroneck, NY on January 20th 2018 from 1:00 pm to 4:00.  I wish I could be there, but I have to be elsewhere. The elsewhere I have to be, is the Michael’s Store…

  • It Sort of Makes Sense

    So, in tribute to Autumn coming – hard to tell with the summer weather we’ve been having-I did this drawing, “September Field”. I’ve always been attracted to drawing landscapes, and now I realize why.  Landscapes capture moods in complex way.  I’m not talking something simple like a sunny day being happy. I’m talking about the…

  • The Seasons Changed, and So Did I

    Okay, when I posted back some time ago, I was complaining about drawing foliage.  This started a downward spiral to me hating doing artwork all together, and hating my finished drawings.  I’d see ideas for artwork, but I’d shiver in disgust at the thought of drawing. So, I stopped for a while. I don’t make…

  • A Creative Life, Told in Pictures

    Or, my flirtation with abstraction. Long ago, I feel in love with reality.  Hard to explain that, right?  I don’t go much for fantasy movies, or fiction for that matter.  Give me a good, non-fiction book on modern physics or psychology, and I’m happy. So, when it came to art, I liked to portray things…

  • Summer Vacation

    I’m going to have to take a break from artwork for a while.  I have ideas, but all of them contain lots and lots of foliage.  You know what?  I’m sick to death of drawing lots and lots of foliage, and I’ve also about run out of green pencils.  So, until I either come up…

  • Patience, my dear, patience

    I’ve actually found something that’s more tedious than drawing a lot of dots….drawing around a lot of dots.  The dots in question are meant to be clover, and the around, grass. It’s a shame I had to throw out so much of my old artwork.  No space, no time to move it.  There are some…

  • Haven’t I Seen That Someplace Before?

    For me,it sees to be a season of revisiting old themes.  Certain things resonate with me, and probably have some deep seated meaning, the way recurring dreams do.  At least, these are not recurring nightmares.  Phew! So, I revisited empty chairs and cats in the window.  So, guess I’ll do another staircase.  A couple of…

  • Thanks to whoever invented laptops

    I can’t sit at my desk.  Pumpkin is resting on my desk’s chair, so I took the laptop into the kitchen.  I can’t disturb a resting cat, but I can disturb a computer.  It’s also a good idea that I keep my laptop away from Pumpkin.  He likes to sharpen his claws on the keyboard,…

  • It’s Been a Long Time

    Since I drew a picture of a cat.  I call myself a cat lover?  Ha!  When I’ve neglected to draw one in over a year? So, I’ve done one.  I’m just not sure of it….it’s different.  So, I’m holding onto it for a review in the morning.  Don’t know if I like or not, because…it’s…
