    Beauty in Ugliness

    Back away, in a time when I was a young woman, I was hospitalized for depression. The ward was grimy and dull. I challenged myself, was there any beauty I could find, in these dismal circumstances? Then I found the book case, with its colorful novels. I thought about it, and realized it would be…

  • When?!

    When?!

    I am waiting not so patiently for a new shipment of the paper I use. Unlike the last several months, I have a cascade of drawings I want to do. I need paper to do them. Nuff said. This is one of the still lifes I’ve done recently. I just thought I put it here,…

    The View

    By the view, I’m not talking about the TV show with Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, Rosie O’Donnell etc. This is about the drawing I have above, “View From Mayer Mountain”.
